: 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.

He will be forever missed and always remembered by his mommy, 2 sisters, and 3 cats

Run free at Rainbow Bridge, Dukie!!

She made us laugh every day. She couldnt run fast , but she loved to try to dodge us in the yard. We always played along and pretended to miss her, and its how she got her nick name shifty lou. Her antics would make us laugh so hard. She gave the best hugs and we love and miss her every single day. We will see you soon lou lou bean xo

Our thanks to the 29 people who gave him rides from Colorado to his foster in Connecticut and, especially, to Mike Iovanna, his foster, for letting us be his last forever home.

: JAX KLATT – 6/2020 -We adopted our beautiful Greek puppy Jax during the Christmas season of 2019. For the next six months he brought such joy to our home. He loved to play with his dog mates.

: 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.

: LUCKY/SASSY MACK 3/2019

: MAGGIE -Sleep in peace pretty girl

: MAGGIE ALLEN -Our beautiful Maggie left us way to soon but the love and joy she gave us will last a lifetime. She will always be our beautiful girl

: 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.

: 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.

: MAYA CAGGIANO – In the arms of the Angels, running free

: MIMZY TRETHEWAY- 11/2019- Our Mimzy girl will be loved forever. She liked to chase ducks. She was a strong swimmer and a fast runner. She covered her face when she wanted pets and would ‘rooooo’ when she wanted food. She was kind and gentle and smart. She is missed.

: 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. His will to survive was not enough to save him from the heavy load of heart worms that eventually killed him. For the sake of all Peter’s out there, keep your pets on heart worm preventative. Run free, and breath easy, beloved Peter

: WINSLOW STANLEY- 12/21/2018 Many times I have referred to Winslow as the best dog in the world and to me that is so true. He had a huge heart and his goal in life was to be close (like, in your lap) to the people who loved him. He made me a better person for having known him for three years. I love you more than ever, Wins.

: WINSTON HOLLIS – 12/2020 Our first foster who faced every roadblock with a tail wag even at the end. He had a soul that stole everyone’s heart. We are so glad to have been let into Winston’s life even if for only 4 months. Our hearts are broken now that he is gone. We are thankful his dog brother and sister and his cat brothers and sister will have him waiting for them on the other side. You will never be forgotten sweet boy.
