How does Irish Setter Rescue work?
Rescue dogs are available across the country. The Rescue effort is set up with volunteers and foster homes in each state, each case coordinated through Rescue’s four Regional Rescue Coordinators. Dogs may be housed in a temporary foster home, remain with its original owner or live in a shelter while Rescue works to find a new home for the dog. All dogs are screened for medical and temperament problems in order to insure that only sound, healthy dogs are placed. Irish Setter Rescue will neither accept nor place any dog who is temperamentally unsafe or who has shown aggression towards people in the past. An appropriate home for each dog is sought locally or if needed, outside the area. If a rescue dog is not available in your area, transportation for a dog in another area is often possible. Irish Setter Rescue takes the time to specially match people to each dog, usually resulting in a lifelong placement. Here’s a picture of two rescue dogs in their natural environment – a couch!
