Adoption

	Some additional things to keep in mind before adopting an Irish Setter..... It is important to remember that Irish Setters are Sporting Dogs that were bred to run and hunt birds. Adult Irish Setters need plenty of exercise and generally, younger dogs have a higher energy level. Be certain you are willing and able to accommodate this need. Irish Setters do not do well separated from "their people" and consequently do not do well as "outside only" dogs. For this reason, we require that all our rescue dogs be house dogs. For more information refer to This is the Irish Setter page on this site.
Irish Setter Rescue Policies and Procedures: Each Rescue dog is spayed or neutered before being placed Rescue carefully screens for medical and temperament problems. Medical treatment is obtained as needed. All vaccinations are brought up to date and if needed, heart worm testing is provided for each dog. Each dog is permanently ID'ed by microchip or tattoo. Finally, each dog is bathed and groomed before going to it's new home. We ask a donation be made to Irish Setter Rescue to help offset the necessary expenses for each dog. Spay or neuter expenses, vaccinations, heartworm treatment and other expenses can add up. Donations may vary depending on circumstances and age of the dog. Any dog adopted may be returned at any time. Rescue carefully matches people with individual dogs, usually resulting in lifelong placement. If a dog placed by Rescue can not be kept, the dog must be returned to Irish Setter Rescue.
