Penny
Meet Penny!
Penny is just over 2 years old and this little girl wants to hunt and chase! With her strong hunting instincts, she could potentially make a great companion in the field. She is very sweet and loves people. She is also a quickly learner. She is more independent and takes her job in life very serious. She is around 30 lbs. and would do well being adopted along with her sister, Skye. Her small size is typical for some field bred lines. She will thrive best in a home where she has a safe space to run off some of her energy.
Suzy
Meet Suzy!
Suzy is approximately 7 years old and weighs just around 35 lbs. She is a small field-bred Irish gal and sweet as she can be. She is a bit of a couch potato and would benefit from a daily exercise routine. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines and heartworm preventative. She had been used for breeding and now is loving being a cherished member of her foster family.
Skye
Meet Skye!
Skye is a sweet young 30lb red setter. Initially, she will be timid but after a few days will become affectionate. She likes her people and other dogs. She loves walking 3 to 5 miles per day, but being a bird dog with a strong hunting instinct, will pull on the leash when passing birds and squirrels. She has lots of energy and loves to run. She’s beginning to respond to recall at the end of a 25-ft leash.
Skye is crate trained but not yet completely housebroken. She’s still working through her young adult chewing phase but can be directed to appropriate chew toys and treats. Excessive barking is not an issue for Skye and will only do so if an unknown dog approaches or if startled.
If a smaller version of an Irish setter fits your lifestyle, consider this sweet girl.
ADOPTED!❤️
Abby
Meet Abby!
Abby is a 7 year-old, easy to get along with gal who is looking for a place to call home after her owner sadly passed away. She takes her role as couch potato very serious but get out the treats and she is all ears and ready to do whatever you ask. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and will alert everyone to anything that seems a little off with her very serious bark (just don’t ask her to back up her bark with any action…she will run the other way if confronted!) Abby is interested, but seems compatible with cats and initially has a more timid and submissive personality.
ADOPTION PENDING
Lady
Meet Lady!
Lady is a 6 year old typical Irish with a congenial personality. She loves her daily 5-mile walks and enjoys searching for squirrels in her yard. She is 58 lbs., spayed, and up to date on her vaccines and heart-worm preventative. The only thing she may be keen to counter surf for is her leash! She has stolen the hearts of her foster family and will likely steal yours as well.
Adopted!❤️
Rocky
Meet Rocky!
Rocky is a spirited, fun-loving Irish Setter mix around 3 yrs old. He is neutered, heart-worm negative, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines including flu. He is enthusiastic about life, often displayed in the funny way he bounces around. Rocky was rescued from a large local animal shelter where he endured a “rocky” start. Rocky is good-natured and extremely devoted to his person. Rocky enjoys having a playmate but can play rough and be pesky at times for less tolerant friends.
Rocky has worked with a trainer while in foster care. He knows his obedience commands, but Rocky’s biggest challenge is impulse control and his most common struggle is jumping. We are looking for a patient adopter who has experience in fear-free training and is open to continue working with Rocky. He will be most successful in a quieter home with someone that can handle a pup with an abundance of energy.
Rocky is a sweet, loving, affectionate boy. He wants to please and is very smart. If you think Rocky would make a great addition to you family, we encourage you to fill out an adoption application. We would love to share more about this fun-loving boy.
