English Setter puppies and dogs in Pine Hill, New Jersey

Socialization/training: Charlie knows the commands Kennel, here, “no”, off, trade, leave it. We do our walks with a no pull harness and that help reduce his pulling. He is a high energy dog. He gets along well with other dogs but he does try to be fun police with some bigger dogs. He is a very well socialized and outgoing with all humans. He is a very sweet dog.  Crate trained: Yes, but he has some separation anxiety, so I use a belly band when I leave the house. Leash trained: This is a work in progress for Charlie. He needs a no-pull harness (Gentle Leader or Easy Walk harness) to reduce his pulling during walks. Activity Level: Charlie is your typical setter boy with high energy levels!  Fence: Yes, he will need a home with a physical fence, but 4’ height would be fine for him. He respects the fence in his foster home.  Behavior: Charlie is a true setter with a high prey drive. He loves toys! He's not destructive to property apart from toys, which he likes to play with. He is a goofy boy! He wants to learn and is very food and toy motivated, so he's easy to train. He is very affectionate, as he likes to kiss and nibble his human. He is more of a velcro dog and likes to be with his person, he is learning to not follow his person around inside. Medical History: Charlie is a lucky boy, as with the help of Above & Beyond, he survived stage 4 heartworm disease! He is clinically normal and he should be able to reach typical life expectancy for a setter. He is on a supplement for his heart and needs yearly echocardiograms. He is still on meds for separation anxiety. This dog is amazing and tough. Foster Comments: Charlie is not suitable for low energy environment, as he is a high energy boy and needs to be able to burn off his energy daily. He will need patience from his forever home; he had no self-control behaviors before coming to rescue a year ago, but he has learned a lot and has come a long way. His adopter will need to continue working with him. He will still steal food Foster Location: San Antonio, Texas  Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US within a 1,000-mile distance between adopters & foster home.

Socialization/training: Oboe loves all people including men, women, and children. He has met a person using a wheelchair, using crutches, and using a knee scooter and was not phased- I think he would make a great therapy dog. He has met and been fine with dogs in the home and dogs on walks. He has met dogs of various sizes. Oboe grew up around cats, and while I don't have any, he was not interested in a cat that approached us on a walk. Oboe is good around the house and knows "sit," "down", "stay" and will come when you call his name. He is working on learning "place." He is food motivated and learns quickly. When I first got him he tried counter surfing but he has stopped trying now that he has settled in. Crate trained: Oboe is crated at night and when I leave the house, usually for only a couple hours at a time. Sometimes he will bark for a couple of minutes before settling down. He has also been left loose around the house alone for up to an hour at a time and has had no issues. Leash trained: Oboe needs some work with leash walking. He doesn't really pull, but sometimes plops down and needs encouragement to keep going. He actually has walked best when there are a lot of people around because he wants to move forward to greet them. He is happy when he sees dogs on walks and wants to meet them. Activity Level: Oboe is more on the mellow side but is still a puppy. Currently he plays each day with my dogs and goes for a 15-minute walk and that has been enough. He also loves to play with toys and will sometimes fetch. He settles well in the house. Fence: Oboe can go to a home without a fence that has an exercise plan in place and is willing to work on his leash skills. He does not try to escape fenced in areas and would do fine with a 4ft fence as well. Behavior: Oboe has the cutest “roo” and loves attention. He is a happy, playful puppy. He will lean right into you for petting. He will cuddle with you for a nap and is also fine with leaving me to my work while he finds a place to nap. Oboe loves to play with my dogs, but will guard his food from them. He can be fed with the other dogs while supervised so that no one visits anyone else's bowl. He has no problems with me touching his food bowl while he eats. Medical History: Oboe is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Oboe has enamel hypoplasia, which is to say the enamel did not develop properly on his teeth. As a result, plaque will build up quicker on his teeth and the vet has recommended daily toothbrushing for him and yearly dental checkups. He is on an anti-inflammatory medication for some rear end discomfort. He is due for his next leishmaniasis test in Oct 2025. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80. Foster Comments: Oboe would fit well in most homes. Since he is a puppy, he needs a home that will continue training and socialization. He would do best in a home with a fence due to his hesitation on leash walking, but will likely learn to love walking with patience and time, so a fenced yard is not a requirement to adopt him. I have taken him to a craft show, softball tournaments, and to a friend's house to meet her dog and hang out. He has taken it all in stride, loving the attention of everyone who will stop to pet him. Oboe has an appreciation for soft blankets and will sometimes drag his blankie around the house. He does not enjoy car rides, and will bark in the car during shorter rides.

Socialization/training: Chelsea has been a very easy foster dog. She is friendly with people of all ages she’s met, including a 7-year old boy. She is compatible with dogs large and small, but we have not seen her play with other dogs. She hasn’t formed particular bonds with the dogs in our foster home so she could be an only dog or live with others. We know she lived for a couple of years as an only dog.  She is completely trustworthy with house training and we can leave her unsupervised when necessary. She does tend to steal children’s toys and chew on them. On a rare occasion she will get possessive of a high value item but will trade easily for a treat, so we have not considered that a problem, but because of this and the toy chewing, we recommend a home with older children. She’s not fazed by activity and loud noises, though the vacuum isn’t her favorite thing. She just goes into another room. We do not have a cat but she met one while off leash, and although interested, she did not chase or harass it. Crate trained: For the first 2 nights with us she wasn’t happy about the crate but did settle down after a few minutes. We found that she doesn’t need a crate at night and now has free run of the house. Leash trained: Chelsea is quite easy to walk and draws attention with her beauty wherever she goes. She is friendly with dogs and people she meets. Squirrels, cats, and birds don’t faze her. 99% of the time she trots right along, but rarely, such as when going to a special place like PetSmart, she gets very excited and will pull. So small children or the frail would need to hold on tightly if on the other end of her leash. Activity Level: We have found Chelsea to have a lower energy level than many setters we know. She needs encouragement to go on walks, but when on them she seems to enjoy herself. When given the opportunity for off leash exploring on fenced acreage, she will sniff around for a while and then head up to the house, usually before the other dogs. Our routine is to eat breakfast, go for a walk, and then she’s quiet and sleeping until the afternoon when it’s time for another walk. In the evening she tends to get spurts of energy and become playful, bouncing around and chasing toys. It’s possible when she loses more weight that her energy level will increase, but we suspect in general her exercise needs are less than many setters, though she does need regular exercise to get to a healthier weight.    Fence: Chelsea has not attempted to get out of our 4-foot fencing. It’s possible she could adjust to an invisible fence.    Behavior: We would describe Chelsea as having a sweet, easy-going, low-key personality. She does seek out affection during the day, but is generally content to lay quietly wherever a family member is. She’s more a “regally laying by the fireside” kind of girl. Though if you want to see her get excited, suggest a “car ride”!! That is her favorite thing to do and makes her so happy! She doesn’t care where she’s going, but loves to feel the wind buffeting those long, beautiful ears around. She sleeps quietly all night on her bed in our bedroom. She doesn’t attempt to get on the furniture, but might if she didn’t have all that weight to hoist around. She initially required steps to get in and out of the car, but now can do that on her own. Medical History: Chelsea is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, on heartworm prevention, and flea/tick control. Chelsea’s primary issue is that she’s a “full figured girl,” originally weighing in at 90 pounds. A proper weight for her would be closer to 60 pounds. She’s bravely lost 13 pounds in 2.5 months and continues on that path. We expected her to be begging at the table, counter surfing, stealing food, etc. but surprisingly she does none of that. Make no mistake, she DOES enjoy her food, but is well mannered about it. A weight control diet and daily walks are working to achieve a healthier weight. She may have a little arthritis but weight loss should help with that. She is receiving a joint supplement but no other medications. Foster Comments: Chelsea is a lovely, sweet, lower energy 8-year-old English Setter. She came into rescue in September 2024.  Much of her past is a mystery, but we do know that for the past 2 years she lived with an elderly couple that loved her very much. When they had to leave their home, the extended family could not keep her and reached out to rescue. Chelsea has been an easy, enjoyable, beautiful girl to have in our home. At 8 years old she is mature but not a senior and has many good years ahead of her. She is sweet and rather regal in her bearing. We are sure that her body will soon catch up with that elegant setter head! She will need a family that will be committed to continuing her weight loss program.  While close to perfect, she does snore at times, is messy while eating and drinking, and isn’t a fan of much brushing. She’s a good watch dog, though not guard dog (visitors make her very happy!) Perhaps you’re looking for a car companion or a walking buddy.  Or maybe you’re looking for a beautiful, sweet, low-key companion, Chelsea might be just the dog for you.
