The only rescue service for the breed, UGSR comes under the auspices of The British Gordon Setter Club and The Gordon Setter Association but is completely self financing. It has a committee made up of members of both clubs. In addition to donations, funds are raised by selling Gordon Setter related items, social events, raffles etc...

When a request is made to re-home a dog the breeder (where known) is asked whether they want to arrange the re-homing themselves. They are encouraged to be involved with the visit to the new home and help to transport the dog to its new owner. When this is not possible the Co-ordinator takes over and the background of the dog and the prospective new owner are taken into account to find the best possible combination. UGSR offers support and will contribute toward veterinary expenses if appropriate during the six month probationary period, then if all is well the dog is signed over to its new owner.

UGSR will also contribute to the treatment of dogs who are 8 years old or over when re-homed (unless covered by insurance).
