this guy is so sweet,only young i would say about a year

I emailed Irish Reriever Rescue about Brett (email is info@irishsetterrescue.org.uk) They replied saying the following which I think is positive! perhaps Dogs in Distress could follow up.

Thank you for your email. regarding Brett the Irish Setter (looks like he has lots of white- most unusual markings). Our Rescue in the U.K. would be very willing to help Brett by finding a home for him in the U.K. We pay all travelling expenses to the U.K. However, we would need to know a little about him e.g. temperament, age, whether neutered or entire, health state etc. As I am sure Dogs in Distress is aware we cannot re-home a dog who is known to bite or attack a human adult or child.

He is the imagine of a red setter that lives near my friend in Raheny. I will say it to her to find out if the family are missing their red setter as he is just stunning and would be great if he could go home!

Brett is still in the pound.

Thank you Dorset Dog Rescue. If you haven’t found him a home by the time I retire in April 2011 he can come and join my family and my rescued golden retriever. However I think that is highly unlikely as I suspect he wil be snapped up.

Maureen at Irish Setter Rescue (as per my earlier post was also agreeable to take on the basis that Brett was not know to have "issues"). But I dont think my post with contact details for Maureen was picked up by Dogs in Distress.

It is good to know that he will be out and safe soon.

Yes, Brett and all dogs in urgent action need foster If you go to forms and downloads on the main page and fill in a foster application form myself or Gwen will give you a call – thanks
