Bourbon- Foster Home Needed

My story

Click here for Bourbon's Facebook Album April 2026: Bourbon is a very handsome Orange and White English Setter- not a Golden Retriever but he is big and fuzzy and friendly like one. He is an owner surrender and originally came from a breeder in Kentucky. Sadly his owner passed away and he wound up in a kennel because the older widow couldn't handle him. He was loved on and is a very sweet dog and is getting along with the dogs in his temporary foster home. He is deaf- but he is very attentive and affectionate. We are looking for a pet home in the Chicago area that has a safe fenced in yard for obvious reasons. Deaf dogs can learn hand signals and Boubon is food motivated so that will help with his training. He is doing well with cage training but will need work on house manners and house training. No kitties as he is too interested. We are doing blood work the week of April 27th as tick born disease is a huge problem in Setters and can cause deafness if transmitted from mom to pup. We'll know soon, but he seems to be responding to proactive antibiotics already. If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.
