Reggie

My story

Click here for Reggie's Facebook Album April 2025: My precious, silly Reggie is an owner surrender, but he's been one of the easiest fosters I have ever had. I worked with his owners to get him into my vet to look for Rocky Mountain spotted fever- due to some of his odd behaviors. We did find it and antibiotics and supplements have really helped him and his brain health. He's got a few manageable triggers, like he can't be around any outdoor grilling or outdoor fires. His circling behavior is so much better and the drooling he was doing at his old home is pretty much gone. He's probably been sick since he was a puppy and I have a lot of experience with dogs with RMSF issues, including my own deaf Setter. Reggie came to me cage and house trained and while he loves to run around the yard and chase tweetie birds, he settles down nicely indoors. He is so cuddly and such a lap puppy too. He is GREAT with all dogs and he is perfectly cat safe. Reggie also has a nice recall and will usually come when called in the yard. He's such a cool pup- and I really want him to do some fun stuff like AKC FastCAT because he would LOVE to chase a plastic bag on a lure as fast as he can. Reggie could also be trained in other things like Barn Hunt, Obedience and Agility. I was told he is gun shy- so no hunting homes. A fenced in yard is MANDATORY for Reggie to keep him happy and safe. I just love this dog and hope to find him the best home-- he is very special. March 2025: Reggie is a VERY active Tricolor and white American Field Bred English Setter. He is about a year and a 1/2 old and has been a pet since he was brought home as a puppy from a breeder in Illinois. He is an owner surrender and needs an active home with a decent sized fenced in yard in the Chicago area. He is cage and house trained and great with other dogs. NO HUNTING HOMES-- he is gun shy!!
