If you are interested in adopting a dog, a link to the adoption form is below. Please review the information on this page before filling out the application.

PLEASE read the About the Breed on our website before making a decision. English Setters are not for everyone.

Please be aware of these basic guidelines:

Our online form is basic info only.  We may email you a more detailed application to fill out.

You Must Have a fenced in Yard in Order to adopt.  No exceptions

The animals in the home must have been kept current on all vetting. All pets need to be spayed/neutered unless there is a valid physical reason why they are not.

We will only allow our dogs to be adopted as indoor pets.  No exceptions

We do home visits

Only potential adopters with completed applications that meet adoption criteria are considered for approval.

We retain the right to refuse adoption

We do not hold dogs!!

• We are happy to discuss any dog with you, but WE WILL NOT HOLD DOGS
• Please refer to the website profile for info on the dog you are interested in it is as complete as we can make it.  We are happy to answer a question that is not addressed, but please respect the fact that we are volunteers and work full time and have families.
• We do this strictly as a voluntary service.  Our goal is to find the best home for any given dog.  Until you receive an adoption contract and written confirmation that you are approved for a dog, your application is not completed.

We try to be as honest and open as possible as to the dogs personality, temperament, etc. However, it is impossible to know exactly how a dog is going to act once in your home. Adopting a rescue dog means making a commitment to that dog for the long haul. Many issues a dog may have resolve after spending some time in a loving, committed, patient home, but please remember your rescue dog will probably require a period of adjustment in a new home. Many of them have been through some trauma and will need patience and love during their settling in time. This may take as much as a month or two.

We are serious when we say that English Setters NEED a fenced in area in which to run freely.  Leash walking is NOT enough for this breed, and they cannot be trusted off lead.  This is not a dog you can take to the park and let loose and expect them to stay within boundaries and come back.

English Setters as a breed cannot tolerate harsh discipline, or even any prolonged withdrawal of affection. If your personality is not geared toward a "soft" dog such as this, consider another breed. Setters thrive in an environment of love and constant affection, they typically don't need "disciplined"; gentle correction is sufficient.

Listen to what the dog's foster home tells you! Be honest with yourself and us about what you can truly handle.

This is not a for-profit venture. Many times we lose money on an adoption. We do this for the sole reason that we love English Setters. We are all volunteers with full-time jobs and families. Because we save these dogs and keep them in our homes, we become emotionally attached them. We are the dog's advocates; they can't do it for themselves. Please understand if we feel a particular dog might not be a match. We will try to match dogs up with the human we feel best suited for them

Adoption fees are $250.00 for our dogs. Puppies are $300.00
