Bogie (aka Speckles)is a very friendly young(around 1-1/2 yrs)English Setter. He is looking for a forever family. He came from a high kill shelter in Kentucky as a stray. In the meantime, I have the pleasure of his company in our home. He arrived on Memorial Day.
He's adjusted to his new surrounding right away and doesn't show any signs of aggression towards the other dogs. He enjoys being outside, but inside is good too. He had no fear of male or female humans and I will be introducing him to children in the near future.
He'll make a great family pet for that special family. If you are interested in Speckles, he can be adopted from Illinois Birddog Rescue,a not-for-profit organization. Please visit their website for more information on him or the many other wonderful bird dogs that need forever loving homes.

Welcome Bogie a.k.a Speckles
What's This? Oh! cool feet
Wasn't sure what this big blue thing was, but enjoyed it when he figured it out.
Tall and Thin
I can't get over how tall he is. His hair is a little on the thin side right now, but with a good diet that should change along with putting on a few pounds.
Update 6-21-06
Bogies stands about 24 inches tall and weighs 40 lbs. He hides it well. He came here with a lot of itching and nibbling at his skin. He appears at this point in time, to possibly be allergic to corn and wheat products. With that in mind, his diet consists of Solid Gold dry dog food and frozen Natural raw beef cubes as treats. He eats eggs, oatmeal, liver sausage or anything else that doesn't have the above mentioned. This appears to have helped his condition. He no longer is scratching or biting at himself. His hair is growing back on his back legs that were bare before. I would say that his health is now very good.
