Irish Setter puppies and dogs in Allentown, Pennsylvania

Socialization: Juliette is a very sweet girl and loves being with her people and her 3 resident male setter brothers. She loves to snuggle and wants lots of attention and affection from you once she has accepted you! She came to us as a very timid and "scared of everything" puppy, but she has made a lot of progress to accept her human fosters, her house surroundings, and her daily outside environment. An adopter will need to take things slow and understand that she will still need more work and the possibility of moving to a new environment may revert her temperament and the process may start all over again. Meeting new people is still a bit traumatizing for Juliette. She wants to hide and run away rather than trust the person. Vet appointments have been really tough for her meeting new people in a small room. At her first appointment she was very scared and tried to bite a technician that was attempting to take her temperature. This was very defensive reaction and wasn’t in an aggressive manner. She needed to be muzzled for the safety of the technicians. So moving to an entire new environment with an adopter will definitely take her some time to process and learn to trust her new people. She loves to play with her resident male setter brothers, but a barking dog while on a leash walk or from the neighbor’s dog is still a bit scary for Juliette. She will pull hard on the leash to run or wants to come inside to the safety of her home immediately. She has not been tested with cats, but she has discovered her "hunting skills" outside and has begun chasing birds, squirrels and chipmunks. She has starting "pointing" at wildlife too. Sometimes she is so occupied with hunting on a bathroom break that she forgets to potty and then will have an accident by the door after coming in. Training:  She is a young, excitable dog with lots of energy and we are still working on her manners to not jump up when she gets excited, wants attention or wants to go outside. She is very good at recall and coming when she is called to come, and has done well staying close to the door off leash with the use of an electronic beeper collar. We are working on "stay" and "down", but she "sits" on command and shakes "paw" really well. She is very smart, she learned to shake paw in less than one week! Crate trained:  Juliette is not a fan of the crate, probably because she prefers to stay with her humans. She does not usually go in willingly without a treat, and she cries and barks to be let out. She is young and inquisitive, and has been known to look for “trouble” when she gets bored, so we do crate her when we are not home. She chews and destroys anything left inside the crate such as a blanket or bed, but she likes her Benebone (nylonbone) which is virtually indestructible. Hopefully she will grow out of this as she gets older. Housebroken: Still a work in progress. With sufficient outings, she does fine. We let her out every 2 hours when we are home. She enjoys watching birds and chipmunks through the sliding doors and gets excited easily, if you don’t let her out she will have an accident at the door. When we leave the house, she is okay in her crate for 4-5 hours. Leash trained: Juliette does pull on the leash, but being a pocket size it is manageable. She gets excited to go on walks and is very alert surveying her surroundings on walks. She doesn’t necessarily try to go after birds or squirrels, but does more of a hunting weave back and forth and will circle around you while walking. And as stated earlier, a dog barking while walking past a house will put her on full alert to run away so I firm grip on leash handle is a must. Activity level/requirements:  Juliette is young and very energetic, she loves to run in the yard and engage in dog play with her brothers, hunt for birds and chipmunks and practice her hunting skills. Fence requirements:  Juliette loves to be outside to watch the birds, squirrels, deer, etc. A fenced yard is required to adopt her. Currently she has learned her boundaries at our house (country woods acreage setting), so with the use of an electronic beeping collar she goes outside on supervised outings off leash and stays very close to the door in the yard. She can run and play with the resident dogs and perform her zoomies! She is very smart and a fast learner.  Health History:  Juliette is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed. She is on monthly heartworm, flea/tick preventative Foster Comments:  Juliette is nervous in the car and salivates severely during the trip and will eventually throw up. We don't know if its motion sickness or simply being outside her comfort zone traveling to someplace new. Once arriving to the destination she seems to rebound quickly and is fine. We have tried front seat on a human lap, backseat on a blanket, and also back cargo area of an SUV all with same outcome.  Update 1-1-26: resident dog in home is preferred Additional video: https://youtu.be/-cFav0kDrQs?si=AIj7x9WrlPu9eHIL Foster Location: Slippery Rock, PA Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US within a 1,000-mile distance between adopters & foster home.

Socialization: Travis loves meeting new people. He’s very friendly and loves their attention. He’s met a couple of dogs. One while on a walk and the other dog barked at Travis and he just walked on around the dog and owner. Another dog is in the yard behind my home and Travis went out to meet Cynthia. Cynthia greeted him by barking and jumping at the fence. Travis again, turned around and walked away. He’s not aggressive towards the other dogs. He just ignores them when they are barking at him. Training: He’s very well behaved upon my home. He’s crated when I’m at work but at night he’s loose to wander the house. Most nights he sleeps either on the floor in my bedroom or downstairs in his crate. When I’m home his crate is always open and he wanders in and out of it. Sometimes he takes his favorite toy, a blue hydrant in there to chew on it. He’s house broken and lets me know when he needs to go out. He doesn’t want to stay out long as it’s cold here and he comes back in quickly. He knows several commands such as no, drop it, stop. Working on sit when we go for walks and stop at the curb. Crate trained: He’s crated when I go to work. I put a couple of treats in the crate and he goes right in. He settles down quickly and doesn’t bark or cry when left alone. He will even go in if I just tell him to go in your crate. He’s always happy to see me when I get home. When I’m home he’s free to go in and out of his crate whenever he wants. Leash trained: Travis walks very well on the leash. Stays right beside me. He will pull if he sees something he wants to check out but stops when I say no. He definitely knows what the word no means. Activity level/requirements: Travis loves to retrieve his toy when I throw it in the yard. He comes back with it and will give it to me to throw again. When he’s tired and ready to go in he keeps the toy and go to the door. He only has hard rubber dog toys as he will pull the squeaker out of any other toy within minutes. Fence requirements: I have a 4 foot fence and he seems content to stay in the yard. He has never tried to jump or climb over the fence even when there’s a dog walking on the other side. Personality: Travis is a friendly, lovable dog. He’ll cuddle up next to me on the couch and puts his head on my lap. He loves any attention that he can get. Health history: UTD on vaccinations, is neutered, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm preventative. He is getting back to what his normal weight should be. He has been given a cytopoint injection for an environmental allergy in my home. Foster comments: Travis is a very obedient dog. He doesn’t seem to like the cold here, as he came from Georgia. He enjoys being with me whenever I’m home and follows me around the house. If I’m busy he’ll take his toy and go lay down and chew on it. When I’m in my home office he curls up under my desk. Usually has his toy with him to chew on while I work.

Margo is the kind of dog who stops people in their tracks—beautiful, soft, soulful, and radiating that unmistakable Golden Retriever sweetness. She came from a backyard breeder as an 8-week-old puppy, advertised as a Goldendoodle, but as she grew, it became clear that her heart and her heritage lean almost entirely Golden. Born on 2/7/23 and now weighing about 50 pounds, she has matured into a graceful, gentle young girl who wants nothing more than to be loved. Her original family adored her and provided her with a safe, caring home, but unexpected personal challenges arose—difficult ones that prevented them from giving her the consistency, time, and attention she truly deserved. They made the painful, selfless decision to ask for help in finding her a new family, wanting Margo to live her best possible life. And what a gift this girl will be to her new home. Margo is sweetness personified. She is friendly with every dog she meets, respectful and calm around cats, and gentle enough to be trusted with young children. She needs to be in a home of no small dogs - she thinks they are playthings. Her temperament is exactly what people love about Golden Retrievers—steady, affectionate, intuitive, and endlessly kind. She greets new people with a soft smile and happy tail as if welcoming them into her world. Margo is still young and doesn’t have many commands under her belt, but she is a blank slate in the best possible way. She watches her people carefully, eager to understand what’s expected of her, and she responds beautifully to gentle guidance. With patience and routine, she will blossom into a perfectly mannered companion. A fenced yard would be ideal for her—she loves the freedom to run, sniff, and stretch those young, energetic legs. She hasn’t had nearly enough opportunities for outdoor play or structured exercise, so a family who values activity and time outside will help her thrive. After playtime, she’ll settle in beside you with that soft Golden warmth that makes every house feel more like home. Margo is the whole package: beauty, personality, intelligence, and a heart full of love. She is ready for the stability of a forever home where she won’t have to transition again—a place where she can grow up, bond deeply, and be cherished every day. If you’ve been dreaming of a young Golden mix with all the emotional intelligence and gentle spirit the breed is famous for, Margo could truly be your once-in-a-lifetime dog. She is hoping to find her new family just in time for the holiday season. To apply for this beautiful girl, email ccrnewengladn@gmail.com. Margo is ready for her fresh start. &#226&#156&#168PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJanuary 24, 2026, 5:58 pm
