These are dogs that have been taken in by our rescue. They are in all different stages, i.e. just arrived, in foster care and ready to go, etc. Please be aware that we try and evaluate our dogs in a foster home for a couple of weeks, so that we are able to make the best determination on what kind of home would be best for them. If you are interested in a dog, you may need to be patient until they are fully evaluated and vetted. This is for your benefit as well as the dogs, as we want our placements to be permanent ones. Please be aware that our role is as an advocate for the DOG, and making sure they go to the right home where they will thrive.
All of our dogs are vetted before adoption. They are given any needed vaccinations, spayed/neutered, wormed,heartworm tested and treated if positive. Any medical or behavioural issues are attended to, or disclosed to any potential adopter if the treatment is ongoing. We have provided orthopedic surgery, cancer surgery, behavioural assessments from the director of the behavioural unit at Ohio State University. We provide top notch vet care for our dogs. Our vet is Northstar animal care. We are proud of our vets and their reputation in a city that has one of the top veterinary medical schools in the country. All of our vet care is based on sound, solid research for being necessary. We do not subject our dogs to any care that is NOT recommended by our veterinarians.

We do not guarantee adoption to anyone. We are very thorough about our adoption process, as we are committed to sending our dogs to homes where they will stay and be loved and provided for for the rest of their lives. That is our only goal. Adopting a dog is a big commitment of time, love and money.
Freckles is a sweet 2 year old boy that was dumped at the shelter with his brother bandit. He is very scared at the shelter and we are desperately trying to find a good foster home for these boys, either together or separate. They will most likely need to be trained to live in a house, which setters pick up on very quickly.
If you would be interested in fostering please fill out the adoption application for Freckles and click "Foster" there is no application fee to foster. Thank you.
Bandit is a 2 year old boy that was dropped at the shelter with his brother Freckles. They are very scared in the shelter and we are desperately hoping to find a foster home that can take one or both boys in. They are 2 years old and very sweet. Will need to be taught the ways of living in a house.
If you would be interested in fostering a dog in need for OESR, we ask that you fill out the adoption application and click "foster" there is no application fee to apply to foster. Someone will contact you from the rescue, and discuss fostering with you.
Darby O'Gill starts his heartworm treatment on Valentine's Day! He has been on some medicine to help this go easier on him and he will be ready to go. He is feeling much better and his silly goofy side is really coming out now! His foster mom says he had his fur English Setter sister in a full nelson! Who would have thought?
After he is treated for heartworm he wil be getting lots of bloodwork and tests, and then he will be headed to OSU for surgery to remove his cataracts.
Darby is with us for the long haul! :)
We pulled Betsy out of a shelter in Kentucky several months ago. She had obsessive compulsive disorder. We sent her off to a wonderful foster home with lots of room to run and we sought treatment for her at Ohio State University. She is doing much better and is managing well with her medication. She loves to be with her people, and loves to run and play outside. She has crate anxiety, and would do wonderfully in a home that has lots of time for her. SHe loves to snuggle on the couch. She has recovered to the point that she will actually make a great dog for someone who has the time for her and who wants a constant companion.
Falcon is great with other dogs, knows sit, beg, lay down, and is very athletic. Estimating his age by his teeth, he appears to be between 2 and 4 years old. He is out of the naughty puppy phase for sure, but still has plenty of energy. He loves to sit in the yard and watch the birds and squirrels, Ive caught him pointing more than once.
Opie is doing wonderfully in foster care. He has a wonderful foster home who has helped him to blossom. Opie is probably over 10 years old and we are happy we can provide a safe and loving home for him in his elder years. He is happy and such a handsome boy. His tail doesn't stop wagging.
