The Western Irish Setter Club's Rescue and Adoption Program is dedicated
to the welfare of all needy Irish Setters.
The program is part of a national network through the
Irish Setter Club of America that rescues these wonderful dogs
from animal pounds, inhumane living conditions, and other situations
which leave owners unwilling or unable to keep and care for them.
We assess the condition of each dog, provide any necessary medical
attention and tests, arrange for spaying/neutering, and then place
the dogs in foster homes until a permanent home can be found.
Our goal is to place all rescued Irish Setters in
homes that will provide both the love and care the dog needs for the rest
of its life and the opportunity for the lucky new owner to enjoy the loyalty
and devotion an Irish Setter has to offer.
Don't be surprised if a Rescue representative asks as many questions
about you as you ask about the dog. In fact, be happy that Rescue
is concerned about where these dogs are going. We want to make
sure the dogs are going to appropriate homes where they will be
happy and well cared for their entire lives.
When you adopt an Irish Setter from the Western Irish Setter Club’s
Rescue and Adoption program, our members are always available to
help. Whether in person, by phone or email, many of our members
offer advice on housebreaking, training and grooming. If you have
questions or just want to talk dogs, we will be there for you.
If you are interested in adopting an Irish Setter, please contact
one of the rescue volunteers.
