We are a Rescue Group for Irish Setters, founded in 1968 and registered as aCharitable Trust in 2008, we operate throughout the U.K. and Ireland - you will find us listed in the Kennel Club Rescue Directory and likewise publications. We depend on donations to run our rescue, not financially supported by any Breed Club or Society, so we have to raise all our own funds. The Rescue is run the fourTrustees, a Working Group of 12 people, some very special volunteers and we are fortunate to get lots of support and help from Irish Setter owners all over the country - help that we need and appreciate very much. We are pleased to workwith other rescue organisations who need help with rehoming any of our breed. Our remit is to take in any Irish Setter in need of our help - to get veterinary treatment for them when necessary, to rehome them in suitable, loving homes and to monitor their progress in their new homes, until we are satisfied that all is well and both dog and owner are happy. Our aim is to continue to keep in touch with all our owners throughout the lifetime of the Setter we give them, to help and advise the owners if problems arise and to take back into our care any of the dogs we place, should this become necessary at any time. All the Setters who come into our care are kennelled either at Ladybird Kennels in Ingatestone Essex or at
RockMeadow Kennels in Huntingdon, Cambs. The owners of the Kennels, are Cynthia Reed at Ladybird, Cynthia is one of the Trustees and her husband Peter is a member of the Working Group. They and own Irish & Gordon Setters and John Magee at RockMeadow owns 4 Irish Setters and has been in the Breed for many years. The Rescue Setters get wonderful care and attention in both kennels, special diets, visits to the vets, bathing and grooming are all taken care of.
