Urgent Appeal for a calm understanding home for Eva.

Do you remember Eva? The poor little girl who was left tied at a tree in open countryside in Calabria, left there to die… Eva has been in England since last Autumn as you may have seen her in previous posts. She is now ready to go to her forever home.

We are looking for a calm but active home with other dogs, no cats. Eva has suffered from awful separation anxiety, most certainly because of the trauma of being left tied at that tree by herself. She is doing very well now. No more destruction when being left. She loves to play with another dog and after all she is still very young, not even 2! She has a very good recall and she will need to be taken out for walks regularly, at least twice a day. She is still afraid of loud noises but getting better.

Eva is currently in foster in Bedfordshire.

Ever thought about being a Trustee?
Are you interested in helping SOS Italian Setters rescue more dogs from a life of cruelty? Do you like a challenge? Do you care? Then you might just be the person we are looking for!  


So why adopt an SOS Italian Setter?

With between 10 to 20 thousand puppies officially recorded every year, Italian breeders register more Setters than the rest of the world put together. Without any doubt, Setters are the Italian hunters’ preferred choice. Unfortunately, a huge proportion of these dogs end up, abandoned as strays or in grim pounds. Others are killed in accidents, or deliberately. There are places in Italy where dogs’ lives count for very little..!

SOS Italian Setters rescue these dogs from the highways and byways of Southern Italy, from public pounds with thousands of dogs incarcerated in small enclosures, and directly from hunters who don’t want them anymore. We help them recover with excellent veterinary care and begin a new life in a home where they will be cherished.

Setters make wonderful family pets as they are one of the gentlest and loving dogs of all.

Be prepared for pawprints on your heart! 

SOS Italian Setters is a non-profit making organisation. We need you, our dogs need you more importantly! Please donate – every little really does make a difference.
