Since we are looking for commitment in our adopters, how far are you willing to drive to pick up your English Setter (hours or miles)? Note we do not deliver our dogs to adopters.
Above & Beyond English Setter Group expects to interview every Potential Adopter, their references and conduct a home visit. Do you agree to all?
Please tell us why you think you would be a good candidate to adopt an English Setter from Above and Beyond English Setter Rescue?
To all A and B adopters. This rescue cares about our dogs from the day we hear about them needing help until their last day on this earth. Because we care, we expect every adopter to call us immediately to let us know that their English Setter has escaped their clutches. We can and want to help. As an A and B adopter it is your responsibility to make the phone call to someone on the contacts page and to send us an e-mail, if you have a computer. In most cases, with A and B's help, our English Setters have been back in their homes within 30 minutes. When a dog is lost time is of the essence. Please make a copy of the contacts page and tack it onto your fridge.
My Family and I agree to accept these terms. Please Initial.
Any dog adopted through Above and Beyond English Setter Rescue must be returned to A&B. They cannot be transferred, without A&B's permission, to another person or rescue.

We use PetShepherd NC pet tags as our 24/7recovery system for lost dogs. We stand by this system 100% and have seen lost dogs back in their owner’s care within 15 minutes! Your adopted dog will already have a PetShepherd NC tag on. We include 1 year of complete pet recovery protection for your dog with our adoption fee. After 1 year, PetShepherd NC will remind you to renew and choose a coverage plan. It’s important to us your dog is protected as well! So Above & Beyond’s important phone numbers will always be associated with our adopted dogs as a last resort contact. If you are unreachable, we won’t be! So you can always be assured your dog gets back to you safe and sound.
