Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Southwest english setter rescue (swesr) is dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of displaced english setters. The majority of the dogs in our program are rescued after being abandoned or surrendered to shelters in the southwestern usa. We also assist individuals who wish to give up their setters for adoption. We welcome prospective adopters from the entire usa and canada. All swesr dogs live in foster homes where their energy level, temperament, training and other skills can be assessed prior to adoption. All our dogs receive a complete vet exam, are spayed or neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, tested and treated for heartworms
Programs: Swesr rescued, vetted and fostered approximately 51 english setter dogs in the southwestern united states during 2017. All swesr dogs live in foster homes where their energy level, temperament, training and other skills can be assessed prior to adoption. All our dogs receive a complete vet exam, are spayed or neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, tested and treated for heartworms and parasites, given heartworm prevention and micro-chipped before adoption. Because our goal is to make the best possible placement for a dog, we work closely with prospective adopters to ensure a successful adoption in a well matched home.
in 2014 swesr announced a program oriented specifically to find long-term, stable foster care for english setters that may not be candidates for adoption due to age, disability or medical issues. Dogs in this program may have a shorter life-expectancy than other dogs or would be most comfortable not having to transition from one home to another because of their disability or medical condition.
hanks heartworm program supports the purchase of heartworm preventative for all dogs under swesr cares and provides for heartworm treatment and recovery for all heartworm positive dogs rescued by swesr.
