: ARROW BRANSON – 4/2020 – Arrow’s life was far too short but he Knew how much he was loved. He was a puppy at heart but also a very quick learner. He loved to play with River. His favorite thing to do was chasing butterflies and leaves being blown by the wind. The image that is burned in my mind is one of our last outings when he ran through the tall grass snapping his jaws at the tall grass and the butterflies. That is what I picture him doing in heaven now without all the limitations and ailments he had on Earth. He was the sweetest boy and he will be missed. Arrow made an impact. He left my family different than he found us. He will be forever missed by all of us. Until me meet again sweet boy.

: BYRON TIMMONS – 2/20/21 – My miracle boy Byron, had an incredible zest for life, and was my constant companion for 13 years. Byron came up north from Georgia after I lost my A&B Bailey to cancer. He was a crazy boy, a champion jumper and always happy. Byron was an A&B ambassador at rescue events, and my world revolved around him. He was paralyzed 5 years ago, but recovered with emergency spinal surgery. He gave up his spleen along with a 5 + pound tumor with another emergency surgery 2 years ago. My vet said, “Byron has a powerful will to live.“ We had a great run, as he was about 16 years old when he went to the bridge on 2/20/21. Happy to the end-Run like the wind my dear Byron.

We found each other 36 hours after my previous dog passed. He was underweight, malnourished, and nearly bald. He stole my heart the minute the vet opened his cage and told me he wasn’t healthy enough to be adopted. He went home with me that day and lived with me for the next 13 years. A great pointer, true runner, a Certified Therapy Dog, and loved by all.

: DAISY MAE (10/20/2017) She was always so resilient even through her spleen surgery and ensuing months with blood cancer. She will always be remembered for her love of flashlights, her nosiness, and her ability to get through four inches of space. Rest In Peace sweetie. Mom and Dad

: DEZ LANIAK – 6/2020 – Dez was the sweetest, most loving and gentle dog we could have ever imagined having. Although he clearly had a rough life before A&B and us, he was as regal as they came. Dez enjoyed relaxing in his favorite outdoor lounge chair, daily walks on the canal trying to sniff out the woodchucks, his routine morning “bath” from our cat (his best buddy- Red) and most of all spending time and lots of snuggles with his family. He will be forever missed and always remembered by his mommy, 2 sisters, and 3 cats

: DOROTHY CARDOZA -PIETRUSZKA 12/2020 – If ever a dog has earned the epithet “Angel” it was Dorothy. Despite multiple ailments she was a sweet, loving part of our family.

At the end of her life she was no longer a stray but a much loved member of our family.

: DUKE ZIMMERMAN – 2020 – Duke started the first 6 years of his life in an outside concrete kennel.

: JADE SHEEHAN – 2011-2021 – In her three years with me, Jade brought laughter and joy, curiosity and a gift for finding the adventure in exploring our neighborhood and park. She was loving and playful and so affectionate. She was also happy when the neighbor’s cat would greet her and she remembered all the places we had found squirrels and rabbits on previous walks. Through her, I met human and animal neighbors, learned our surroundings in all seasons, and helped small children overcome their fear of dogs. She came to me after losing her first human at a time of great sorrow and loneliness in my life. Together, we came through the grief and she brought joy back into our home. Her final illness was short and she left this life surrounded by love and in my arms. I am so grateful for the time we had together.

: JAKE – You taught us patience, you taught us love, heaven-sent from above. Kindness, courage, that was you. Never was a friend so true. Now, we ask who rescued who? We are full of gratitude. What was started came full ‘round; you were lost, we were found.

He enjoyed chewing on toys, shoes, and anything he could scrounge up. He also loved casing butterflies. But most of all, he loved to cuddle. He was loved and will be deeply missed.

: JENNY – Jenny was a friendly, feisty girl, who loved people and loved getting into things. She was affectionate and oh, so very goofy. I only had her for two years, but I felt we wrote a lifetime’s worth of memories. I will miss her. 9/2018

: JERRY WALTMAN – 2019 – I only had him for two years before he was diagnosed with lymphoma. We tried all the chemos but he was resistant. I miss him so much. He had his own harness with his name on it. Scary Jerry. He was anything but scary. He walked into our house like he had been born there. He was such a love.

: JESSE KEISER – 3/4/2020 – She was 15 years old and was the most amazing girl ever. We adopted her from your organization on February 19th, 2006. She was an ‘only child’ for almost 6 years and she did everything with us – camping, walking, running, riding in the car – and she loved every minute of it. She was fostered in Iowa and when we talked on the phone her foster mom said ‘I hope you don’t mind her sleeping in your bed’. We laughed and bought Jesse her own bed, but from day 1 she insisted on sleeping with her people instead. That continued until her last day here on Earth, and we didn’t mind one bit. Jesse was the sweetest dog to us and our children when they were born. We loved her and she loved us unconditionally. Her presence is missed dearly, but the many years we had and memories we made will never be forgotten. Thank you to your organization for helping us to find our best friend. As we laid with her and helped her to find peace, we promised her that we would honor her by rescuing again some day. We believe she will send us a sign when there is another dog out there waiting to join our family. RIP Jesse ‘Roo Dog’ Keiser – 2005-2020

: KATE STANLEY – 8/13/2020 – Kate brought us joy and happiness everyday. She truly was a gift and a sweetheart. ❣️💔🐶 Kate was 13 years old, blind and diabetic. I truly was her caregiver each day. She made it through 2 bouts of vestibular disease and was wagging her tail, asking for treats, walking and taking relaxing naps on her back with her legs up in the air(in true Setter style). She is now free, sighted, running and no longer hurting. Rest in Peace Sweet Kate

: LACEY WINCHESTER – 3/2020 – Many, many thanks to Lacey’s foster mom, Debra, for giving Lacey her first taste of what a loving home is. And for her her huge effort to bring Lacey out of a terrible past. I am grateful she let us adopt and continue the mission. Lacey enjoyed her new life and her setter brothers. But unfortunately, after only a few years with us she succumbed to osteosarcoma. We miss you dear girl.

: LILLY LUNDI – Lilly was a very special girl that came to us with many medical challenges, including seizures and tumors. We treated everything possible and gave her the comforts that she was most likely denied previously in her life.

: MAGGIE SNELL-Maggie loved playing a game of chase around the kitchen island, which was one of the humans walking around the island while Maggie gleefully trotted behind. Her feline brother loved her dearly and always made sure she was ok. If Maggie sneezed, Mac would run to her side to check on her. Maggie never missed a meal but Mac always stood guard to make sure no one would steal a kibble from his girl. She loved standing in the sun and letting the wind blow through her feathers and of course, her favorite thing to do, nap! She was loved by all and dearly missed.

: MAISIE BROOKSHIRE – 2021 – While this picture captures the spirit of my Maisie, nothing can convey the joy and happiness she brought to my life everyday. It was such a joy to watch her continually grow comfortable with us after having been given love and care from her foster mom. I’ll always love and miss my special Maisie girl.

: MAISY CROWELL – March 2021 – a sweet girl who was the other “M” in the Max and Maisy duo, also known as Maisy-Daisy and MayDay, who loved to climb furniture and into your lap like she was a three-year old and just loved being near the other furs and her people. She enjoyed sunning herself in the backyard and just all around being the “queen bee” of things even with our older ES, Cissy. She also LOVED going to work with Dad and thought her daily job was to keep him on track to get to work on time. She stole everyone’s hearts and we will forever miss her. Rick and Kym Crowell

: MAX CROWELL – February 2019 -a sweet old soul who loved his neck being scratched, cuddling, going to work with Dad, and chasing lizards/squirrels/frogs.

: NELL – 4/20/2020 – My mother rescued her Nell ( formerly Josie Wags) a few years ago. Nell left us yesterday, but was a dream to her beloved Sally every day. They were a perfect pair. Nell could not hear, but boy, could she love. She was a gentle soul; when walking, spying a squirrel or bird, she froze and just looked. A perfect match for my mother who worried with other dogs about pulling. Not Nell, she took care of her Sally. Thank you so much English Setter Rescue for saving this dream of a dog so my mom could meet and love her.

: NEVILL & JONESY KLATCHAK – To our two sweet boys Neville and Jonesy. Although you came to us 6 years apart, you were bonded to each other closer than if you were blood brothers. We often remember the funny things you guys did to make us laugh and smile and sometimes even cry when your past life fears would hold you back from doing certain things. We pray that we made your lives as happy as you made ours. We love and miss you everyday. Mom and Dad (Joanne & Mark Klatchak)

: PATCHES KILCOYNE – 5/2020 – It is with great sadness that I share the passing of my beloved Patches with our Above and Beyond English Setter Group. I adopted him 7 years ago from this organization at age 7 and will be forever grateful for giving me the most beautiful, loving dog I have ever met. He was deaf, but it served as no barrier for him to hike, swim, and make lots of dog friends. He has truly been the brightest part of my everyday. Again thank you A&B for the opportunity to share my home and also my heart with this special boy. Julie Kilcoyne (Patches Mom)

: PETIE – Because of Petie’s gentleness and manners, we called him the Southern Gentleman. He loved his walks and taught us to take time to smell the roses! In just two short years, he tore out a piece of our hearts. Be pain free and run happily, Petie!

: PETER FOSTER- February 2019 – Peter had the hero’s heart of a fighter, and won the love of so many champions.

Run free, and breath easy, beloved Peter

: SALLY MCLAUGHLIN – 3/6/2021 – Indy Sally came us as a 3 year old dog in March of 2008. We fell in love with her and she turned us in to “Setter People.” Sally was a beautiful, graceful and athletic girl. She loved chasing birds, squirrels and rabbits in the back yard, and we enjoyed many long walks and hikes over the years. Sally lived a long and full life with us and we all shared so much love.

Our family fell hard for him and we were all excited to help him on his journey. We carried him around the house with his sweet swimming arms. He was a calm presence in our home, laying in the corner of the couch and under pillows. A great napping buddy. Sadly, his young body and mind had already been through so much and we held him as he crossed the bridge. We will be his forever family now and we consider it an honor to have loved him.

I love you more than ever, Wins.
