Story
Sonny is a stunning 4-year-young orange and white English Setter with a gentle soul, a playful spirit, and a whole lot of love to give. At four years old, he’s the perfect blend of youthful energy and settled companionship. Sonny can be a little shy when he first meets new people, but don’t let that fool you—he warms up quickly and soon reveals his affectionate, humorous personality. Once he trusts you, he’s all heart and happily shares cuddles, smiles, and his endearing sense of fun. He does wonderfully with other dogs and is quick to make friends, jumping right into playtime with enthusiasm. Sonny walks on leash but is still polishing his manners and can pull; consistent training and daily walks will help him continue to improve. He is crate trained and does well with routine and structure. An active day makes Sonny a very content boy. After getting enough exercise, he’s happy to stretch out on a dog bed or relax on the floor in the evenings, soaking up the calm of home life. While he doesn’t insist on climbing onto furniture, he certainly wouldn’t mind being invited to lounge closer to his people. Sonny enjoys spending time in the yard and doesn’t attempt to escape, though his curious nature means he likes to keep an eye on everything happening beyond the fence. He has lived in a home before, has experience with children, and transitions well into family life. While he hasn’t been tested with cats during his time in foster care, he would likely do best in a cat‑free home. One of Sonny’s many great traits is how well he travels—he rides calmly in the car and settles in quickly, making him a wonderful companion for adventures or daily outings. If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate, good‑natured Setter with a playful sense of humor and a loving heart, Sonny may be the perfect match. He’s ready to find a home where he can continue to blossom and be someone’s very good boy April 13, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Introducing Sally, one of the sweetest English Setter girls you will ever meet. Sally is just shy of 2 years young and was surrendered to SWESR due to lack of prey drive. She has a gentle, soulful personality and a heart full of quiet sweetness. Since arriving in foster care, she has shown herself to be an easy, well-mannered companion— house-trained with excellent indoor behavior, no destructive tendencies and no storm or separation anxiety. She walks nicely on leash, loves going on walks, rides calmly in the car, and gets along beautifully with the resident English Setters and dogs she meets on walks. She has not lived with cats. Sally is also affectionate with people, including respectful of older children, and enjoys snuggling. While she has a playful side, she is currently on the lower-energy end for her breed, making her an appealing option for those seeking a young setter that is calmer. Sally is still building confidence and can be quite timid, especially indoors. Everyday household noises like running water or sudden sounds can startle her, and she tends to retreat to a safe, quiet space when overwhelmed. This shy girl appreciates her own “safe” places to retreat and relax, the first spot she chose in her foster home was her foster parents bed. Furniture privileges and “safe spots” that Sally chooses in her forever home are a must for Sally. She will need a patient and understanding adopter who can give her the time and reassurance she needs to fully come out of her shell. Positive reinforcement, a predictable routine, and a low-noise environment will help her continue to blossom. Sally lucked into the perfect foster home where someone is almost always home. She currently lives with two very dog savvy kids, ages 7 and 9 and two other English Setters, both male, along with her foster mom and dad. Although Sally does well with the kids she is stressed with all of the noise and busyness of them and would do best with older teenagers or no children. She will need a very patient adopter who is willing to give her time to settle into a new home and environment and kindly continue to teach her that life isn't always scary and love does exist.   Sally is spayed and up to date on vaccinations and tests. Sally’s ideal home is calm, has a securely fenced and Setter interesting yard, and has another friendly, confident dog to help guide her. Sally clearly enjoys canine companionship. She prefers that her people and/or her fur-siblings go outside with her. She does get excited when she sees squirrels in her yard and will chase them with the other English Setters. She is suitable for families with older, dog-savvy children (7+ years) but may be uncomfortable in a busy or chaotic household. With patience and love, Sally has all the makings of a deeply loyal, affectionate companion who will reward her adopter with trust, devotion, and a truly special bond. Sally is pretty perfect for someone who is home a lot and willing to give her the love and patience she did not get before rescue. April 13, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Sampson is a 50-lb, approximately 8-year-old English Setter who came to SWESR after being found as a stray in Utah. He’s settled into his foster home beautifully and has proven to be a sweet, smart, and adaptable boy. Sammy helped choose his new name (lots of tail wagging) and responded to it ever since. He’s fully house-trained and clearly communicates when he needs to go outside. He’s also quite talkative in general; whether he’s asking for a walk, a treat, or some attention, he’ll let you know. He can stay home uncrated for 4–5 hours without any issues. At night, he sleeps soundly on his dog bed next to the human bed and regularly logs a full 8+ hours. Sammy is very affectionate and loves being close to his people. Hugs and couch snuggles are high on his priority list. He has been working through some mild resource guarding of his humans, particularly around sharing lap or couch time with other dogs; but he has made steady progress. He currently lives with two other male English Setters and gets along well with them. He does not guard toys or food. He’s an active dog who does best with regular exercise and mental stimulation. His foster mom walks him up to 5 miles a day, which keeps him happy and relaxed in the evenings. He enjoys long walks, trips to the dog park, and car rides (he’s quite enthusiastic about riding shot-gun). Because he was a stray, he can get very excited at doors and may try to push past when heading outside. This is easily managed by leashing him before opening the door. He’ll need a home that’s mindful about keeping doors and gates secure. Once outside, he is not a fence jumper or climber. Due to the door excitement and his mild guarding of human attention, Sammy would likely do best in an adult home or one without young children. Overall, Sampson is a loving, active companion who bonds closely with his people and thrives with structure, exercise, and affection. He has the cutest little face and is a very special boy. It will be hard for Foster Mom to say goodbye, but he deserves a family all his own.April 13, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Gus and I'm one amazing boy, says my foster mom.  I was rescued from a Utah shelter where I was picked up as a stray. They say I am 10 years old, but I still have spurts of puppy energy. I like other dogs and play bow to get their attention. My favorite person in my house though is my 5 year old human brother. I really like all the humans in my house too and am said to be a bit velcro, with a smidge of separation anxiety which is probably the result of being lost or dumped and living on my own for a while before rescue. I am very people and dog friendly, currently living with three Brittanys, age 6-13 and my most perfect home would include humans that are retired or work from home and other friendly dogs to play with and keep me company. I love my walks and am easy to walk on a harness.  I also enjoy stretching my legs at the dog park; if I get uncomfortable, I seek out my foster mom for security and safety. She says my recall is pretty good, but I still need a securely fenced yard that is at least 3.5' - my current fence is 6'. Breakfast shall be served at 7:00 am and I will get you up, not with a loud bark, but more of a muffled constant encouragement. I am still a little on the lean side and food is important! I could eat three times a day. I am crate trained and house trained. Cats are not my friends, but who needs them when you have dogs and people. I currently have full run of the house and am not destructive (only one of the benefits of a senior). I do however love to cuddle with my humans and furniture privileges are a must. I am fully vetted, was neutered and vaccinations up to date and even had a dental.  I do need a little help being lifted into an SUV or truck and sometimes I might need help out too, but mostly I just hop out if it's not too high off the ground. Really and truly, I do sound pretty amazing, don't you think? If your home could use some love, I'm available. April 13, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Bizzie, and I love the name SWESR gave me because I’m a very busy girl and when I’m outside, I am all business! I spent the first 8 years of my life at a hunting ranch where I made lots of babies for them and occasionally got to hunt. The hunting ranch guy told these rescue people that I wasn’t interested in hunting anymore and that’s why they could have me. Boy did I fool everyone! I just wanted out of that outside kennel where I spent all my time. Now that I’m “rescued” I can work this very large, interesting fenced yard in my Texas Hill Country foster home for hours at a time. My foster Mom says I will need a home with either a large and interesting fenced yard or a medium sized interesting fenced yard and a very active person that can keep up with me and take me out in the field regularly. She told me about places called deserts that would not be interesting and would be very hot and that doesn’t sound like my type of place. And there are places where you can get snowed in for weeks and that doesn’t sound great either because during an ice storm last month, I was still wanting to be out working this yard and keeping those squirrels and birds under control. Rain and mud doesn’t bother me at all, bring it on! I can be a a bossy girl but my foster Mom explained to me how important it is to respect the 14 year old Setter girl who is the princess of the place. And there’s this bossy 18 year old cat that explained to me on day 1 that she is the queen of the place and I said “yes ma’am” and I steer clear of her! I’m fine to leave the royalty to them, while I am the one that does the real work around here taking care of everything outside. There’s a socially awkward ES boy about my age that tries to keep up with me (impossible) and appreciates my leadership. I explained to him how things would work early on. When the sun goes down, I’ve learned to appreciate the comfort of couch lounging and resting up for the next day’s activity. I’m not really interested in kids, there were some small ones here recently and they were loud and unpredictable so I avoided them. I get super excited when my foster Mom gets affectionate with me, it’s such a new and unexpected thing and I like it! I sleep in a crate at night and the occasional times my foster Mom is gone during the day, she says that is the only reliable “off switch” she’s found when I’m inside. She praises me for not having any “accidents” in weeks, but I know that’s because she’s finally been trained to watch for my cues that I want to go outside. All in all, life is really great and I’m loving this thing called rescue.  From Bizzie’s foster Mom: I have had field ES many decades, and I have been rescuing and fostering for about 20 years. Many amazing ES have passed through my doors. At my senior age, my specialty and preference is senior fosters. I “thought” I was bringing home a retired hunting ranch dog that was ready to kick back and chill. Boy was I mistaken! That first week with Bizzie was like getting hit in the face with a fire hose. She didn’t stop except when I made her, she was able to get her front legs through the 4” gaps in my wrought iron fencing several times. She’s definitely a girl after the heart of true ES enthusiasts with intense hunting instincts and drive. She wore an inflatable donut around her neck for the first month to keep her from trying to wiggle through or under the fence (she never tried to go over thankfully). She’s quite spectacular but you have to really be on your game to appreciate and keep up with her. I believe she would run herself to heat exhaustion. Even in 60 degree weather after running, she lays in the water bucket to drink and cool off at the same time. I keep hoping she’ll realize this is her new life and she doesn’t have to go so long and so hard, so I’ve held off posting her to see. Maybe she’s settled down a bit because now she will willingly take a mid-day rest for maybe an hour. But she’s showing no signs of wanting to really slow down.  Bizzie wasn’t fast to accept our routine, but now that she has, she could run the place without me, she’s that smart. She came to us with a badly damaged tail from chronic happy tail and our DVM said we had to amputate it for her own wellbeing. She’s muscled up so much with all the exercise, that trying to squeeze through my wrought iron fencing is no longer a possibility. With her tail stub that wags 100 miles an hour, her well-toned body and running style she reminds me more of a GSP in action.  If you are experienced and ready for this level of dog, Bizzie will not disappoint. I believe she’s a once in a lifetime adventure partner for the right person. She’ll need very secure fencing, doors and gates always securely closed (so no kids coming and going) and a person that is around a lot to meet her high energy/prey drive daily needs. She co-exists with other dogs but doesn’t need them. I think she would be too much activity level for small dogs. She’s quite respectful of inside cats, I think outside cats would trigger her high prey drive and may not be safe. She’s confident, attentive and gives great eye contact. She has a whoa like I’ve never seen and she’s coming when I call her. The question is, are you ready for and worthy of a dog like Bizzie?  April 13, 2026, 3:42 pm
