Anna & Axel
We are urgently looking for a home together for this wonderful pair of doggies who are clearly in love and dependent on each other.

This is a really unusual ‘ask’ but at SOS Italian Setters we are committed to finding a forever home for this ‘couple’ who have bonded totally since first meeting in the kennels. They are totally inseparable, and very much reliant on each other for support, security and cuddles. Their story of ‘love’, yes we call it that, is worthy of a novel such is their commitment to each other. If you have ever had two doggies together you will realise that two are definitely easier than one! 

If you are that very very special family looking for a wonderful pair of companions to make your home complete please get in touch. Find out more here !

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.
