Dana

Meet DANA  who is 7 (54 lb) and is a sweet laid back Irish gal quickly learning the joys of life inside a home with a family.  She likes to run in the yard and is intrigued by deer, birds and other wildlife, so a 4–5-foot fence is suggested.  She is comfortable around children and other dogs and has an amazing ability to sleep through the chaos, however the foster indicates that she seems to "come out more" when it's quieter.  We are uncertain how she would interact with cats.  

If you are looking for a redhead to spoil and share love, Dana is waiting patiently to meet you.  Dana is fostered in VA.

Pure love and beauty describe this 3 year old (55 lb) Irish boy.  He is quickly learning that being a member of a family sure beats life inside of a crate!  He loves to walk, play and cuddle.  A 6-foot fence is suggested.  He does well with other dogs, we are uncertain about cats.

Good with children 6+ (unknown if he has been with  younger children)  

One very important note about Rusty - he has a favorite blanket he carries everywhere that reminds him the world is not a scary place.  It will come with him!  

RUSTY is waiting for the perfect home to let the shining Setter heart in him shine.  Rusty is being fostered in CA.

ERIN  is a beautiful sugar kissed lady.  She is 9 years young (54 lbs).  She is an easy girl to have around, playful and loves soft beds and soft toys!  She loves watching squirrels and birds.  A 6-foot fence is suggested but not a requirement.   She does well with other dogs, unsure about cats. This low energy girl could fit into a quieter home.  Foster has no doubt she’d be fine with respectful children but the business of a child filled home might overwhelm her. 

If your heart is ready for a soft soul that loves a cuddle - Erin is a match!  Erin is being fostered in CA.

Life in a cage - that's what this sweet senior, GINGER has lived.  She is 10 years young (45 lbs) and she is learning that living inside is much sweeter.  She is watching, observing and trying incredibly hard to be a part of the family life.  Ginger likes to be outside but isn’t high energy. A good walk or run around the yard is what she enjoys.  A 4-foot fence is recommended (she would not do well with an invisible fence).

She loves other dogs.  She has not been around cats in her foster home but they believe she would be ok.  A quiet home will be best so older children suggested.  This sweet soul needs a kind family with patience to continue building her trust and teaching her house manners, leash walking, etc.  The reward to watch her blossom will be amazing!  Ginger is being fostered in MO

FINN and NATASHA came to SOS together.  They are 7 years old (61/51 lbs) beautiful Irish Red & White Setters.  They have medium energy and like walks and a good run in the yard.  Finn loves to play ball!  Foster suggests a 5 foot fence. They know basic obedience but might need some reinforcement!   They get along well with children of all ages.  We are unsure how they will react to cats.

Finn is a mellow boy looking for an active family.  Nattie is a sweet girl who loves attention and loves to cuddle ... but also needs her own space of choice.  

We are hopeful they can be adopted together but will place separately as needed.  Finn and Natasha are being fostered in WA.  

Sugar-faced BUD is 12 years young and weighs 50 pounds.  His ideal home features a 4-foot fully-fenced yard where he can roam freely and a minimal number of steps.  As a mellow guy, Bud would be fine as an only dog or as part of a calm pack.  He would thrive on a couch next to his humans!!  We believe he would be ok in a home with a cat.  Bud is fostered in NE.

Who has room in their home for this sweet senior?  Reminder - we do offer a "senior to senior" discount!   

I'm NACHO, a 2nd gen Irish Doodle, and am 19 months young and weigh 60 lbs.  My handsome good looks come from my Irish side!  I grew up romping and playing with my bigger littermate brother, so it would be great to have a four-legged playmate.  I'm not a ball player, but I love the chase and the good-natured rough-housing outside so a home with a 6 foot fence and nice big yard would be ideal.  Inside, I settle down nicely and especially love snuggling on the couch with you.  Burglars need not come near -- I'll sound the alarm!  I'm not shy and quite versatile vocally -- you should hear me sing the octaves!  Which leads me to cats ..... I'm not sure what that is ... so a home without cats or a cat that knows how to deal with a curious Irish boy might be best.  Yes, I was spoiled by a young girl who loved me to the moon and back, and I her.  Will you spoil me please and luv me furever?  Nacho is fostered in NC.

I'm HARVEY, a 2nd gen Irish Doodle, and am 19 months young and weigh 70 lbs.  My handsome good looks come from my Irish side!  I grew up romping and playing with my smaller littermate brother.  It would be great to have a four-legged playmate for some good-natured rough-housing outside so a home with a 6 foot fence and nice big yard would be ideal.  Or you could throw a ball for me -- I am oh so happy with a ball in my mouth!  I love the chase and will bring it back to you to throw again and again -- I hope you have a good throwing arm!  Inside, I settle down nicely and especially love snuggling on the couch with you, or curled up at your feet while you work at your desk.  I'm used to being in a home with children.  Cats  ...  ..... I'm not sure what that is ... so a home without cats or a cat that knows how to deal with a big Irish boy might be best.  Yes, I'm a gentle giant and a Southern Gentleman.  I'd be a great lady's man -- er, dog!  Will you be my furever fam? I'll be you furever beau!  Harvey is fostered in NC.

I'm a 7 year old (70 pound) Irish boy and I run hot and cold - with bursts of energy chasing balls in the yard followed by a cuddle and snooze on the couch.  I also love walks but can be a bit reactionary to other dogs so I need a strong human.  A 4 foot fenced yard would be perfect for me.  I am happy to be alone if you need to be away.  I would be happiest in a quiet home and older children would be best. My joints don't work as well as they used to so will require medication to help with that and I also need a special diet (Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream).  I'm a sweet, loving gentleman with manners looking for a home that will spoil me with love and attention!   

LOKI is a 3 year old male Irish Setter (70 lbs.).  Loki loves walks (does well on a leash) and exploring in a fenced yard (either physical or invisible).   Overall medium energy but wiggle butt kicks in when the harness comes out for a walk!

Loki loves other dogs but could be content as the only dog in a home.  A home with a setter-seasoned cat would be ok.  

If you're an active family looking for a curious, playful, goofy, easy going companion, this gentle giant is for you! 

My name is SPARKY. I am 5 years old with medium to high energy.  I have a very strong prey drive so a 6 foot fence, fully enclosed and secure yard is required (sorry no invisible or chain link). I would love to have an  active person willing to provide obedience training and help me learn to trust.  A single person home might be best for me - I do want to be close to my human and be included in everything!  Absolutely no cats!  My foster is in GA.

I am a 10 month old Irish boy that loves to run and just about anything that flies piques my attention!!   If you have a 5-6 foot fully fenced yard (sorry - no invisible fence) that would allow me to burn off my high energy and have the time and patience to teach me manners and obedience, I will grow up to be a wonderful Irish boy!   I think cats would be too intriguing for me, so a home without cats will be best.  No young children and no chickens!  Currently fostered in TN.

Meet Holly who is 8 years young (42 lbs) but don't let her age deceive you!  She has lots of energy to run and loves to go for walks!!  Her high prey drive requires a 5' fence or higher and no other pets. 

Her perfect home is quiet with someone home most of the time to snuggle on the couch.  No young children; older children who can respect boundaries would be ok.  

Holly has a soft personality and needs a kind human to provide gentle training and assurance.  Are you that person?  

Holly is fostered in TN.  

ROWDY is the perfect name for me!  I'm a 3 year old (49 pound) Irish boy with lots of spirit and energy!  I need an area to run and play so a large yard that is fully enclosed with a 5 foot fence would be utopia (an experienced invisible fence owner may be considered).   Cats are just too intriguing for me so a home without cats is a must.  

If you have an active home that can give me lots of attention, continue my training and take me on great adventures I will make a great addition to your family!  Who's ready to roll?   Rowdy is fostered in CA.

Kelly Rose is approximately 3 years old (48 pounds).  This beautiful little lady is a typical Irish youngster with lots of energy - her foster recommends a 5-foot fence but an experienced owner with an invisible fence could be considered.  

She needs a little time getting used to new experiences - other dogs & people.  We are uncertain how she will react to children or cats because she has not been exposed to them.  She is eager to learn manners and leash walking (she is nicknamed "prancer" by her foster family because of her wonderful gait!)

This very sweet & happy youngster is fostered in CA.

BLANCHE is a 9.5 years young (56 lbs),  medium energy girl that is quickly learning new experiences.  She is very affectionate with family and friendly with other dogs.  Unsure if she has previously lived inside a home so she is learning house manners including house-training.

A 5-6 foot fence is suggested.  No experience with cats.  No experience with children.  

She would love family walks and activities .... could that be with you?

Blanche is fostered in CA.

10 year old SCARLETT (68 lbs) is learning that life INSIDE a home is better than life outside in a mill!  Scarlett is understandably timid and requires a patient and understanding owner. 

To help her blossom, Scarlett would thrive in a home with another friendly, confident, and non-dominant dog to guide her.  A medium to low-energy companion would be ideal. She has done well with the resident cat.

Scarlett is easily frightened by strange sights and noises, so a minimum 5-foot fence is required.

Scarlett needs a calm and loving environment with plenty of cuddle time and positive reinforcement. Slow and gentle introductions to new experiences will be crucial for her to build confidence and feel secure. She deserves a family who will give her the time and space she needs to adjust, thrive and truly belong.

Scarlett is fostered in MO.
