Rugby's Story:
Rugby has a lot of energy and needs a place to run and a family who can give him all the attention he craves. He was adopted by his current owners as a puppy when a live-in friend decided she couldn't keep him. They were already attached to him so they took him on themselves. Over the past few years the street they live on has had an increase in traffic and the son that took care of the dog is now overseas with the military, so they believe finding Rugby a new home is in his best interest.
About Rugby:
Rugby is a highly energetic dog that loves everyone. He loves kids and his owner would like him to have a family with kids that will pay lots of attention to him as he has been used to neighbor kids and nieces/nephews. He can tend to be rambunctious when playing so a family with young toddlers might not be a good idea. He has only had exposure to outdoor cats and is interested in them, but quickly loses interest when they hiss and spit at him. He is also good with other dogs and sniffs upon first approach and then he tries to get them to play with him.
He loves the outdoors and spends most of his time outside except for when it's hot, then he comes indoors. He has good indoor manners for the most part, but thinks he is a lap dog if you are sitting on the couch. He will also occasionally mark as most unneutered males will do. He does not dig holes in the yard, but he does like to shred play toys by pulling the stuffing out. He loves to go for car rides and will readily get into a vehicle, however like the couch he does try to sit on your lap while driving.
The current owner did not indicate that he's had much training, so a family with lots of patience and understanding of soft training techniques would be good. We would highly recommend starting with crate training and beginning obedience courses. He's still a young dog that's very smart, and would probably thrive with all the attention that training would provide him.
Rugby currently does not have any medical conditions, nor is he on any long-term medication other than wormer and Comfortis (oral flea and tick medication).

July 2010:
Lucy Lou Birddog also had no trouble in finding a wonderful new forever home rather quickly. She has been relocated from Oshkosh Wisconsin to Marble Rock Iowa. Her new owner called us the day they got her home to say how thrilled they are with her and that our description of her on this web page was very accurate. They also thanked us for creating the Setter Rescue Network, for all we do and for bringing such a magnificent dog into their lives.

June 2010:
Not long after we posted Hobbs' story on our website, his owner found him a wonderful new home locally in Wisconsin. Hobbs, a 1/2 Llewellin Setter and 1/2 Large Munsterlander dog, now lives with a young man who likes to hunt and owns lots of land for him to run.

May 2010:
Buck was spoken for in less than 24 hours after his story was posted on this web page. He was placed in a "furever" home, relocating to Muscatine Iowa from Atlanta Georgia. His new family, which includes two young boys, states that in only a few short weeks he has become their "dream dog" and they can't imagine life without him. They now call him Jake.

April 2010:
James was never advertised on our Setter Rescue page because he was immediately adopted by us when we were contacted by his owner. James is the nephew of our female Duchess of Adena as her littermate brother is James' father. Now called "Jimmy", this gorgeous boy is now a beloved member of the Hickory Hollow Llew Crew and will become part of our breeding stock after his health testing is complete.

March 2008:
Kachina was originally purchased as a puppy by a family that does not hunt, but wanted an active dog for outdoor activities. Kachina (our dog Bristol's full blooded sister) proved to be more than the family could handle so she was rehomed from Illinois into a furever setter loving family living in Kentucky. Katie, as she is now called, will have the opportunity to hunt and have another Llewellin family companion to play with.
