Rumi and Dante

I have come to the painstaking decision of having to
find my beloved English Setters a new home.  After 2
years with me here in Manhattan, I have realized that
it is the kindest thing I can do for Rumi and Dante.  It
is time to find them a family or couple, in the country
or suburbs, who can provide for them in a better way
than I am able to here in the city.

They are the most gentle, loving dogs, who just need
good food, some love and cuddles, and a place to run
around.  Off-leash exercise everyday is very important
for them - this is not a breed that could be content
with a couple of walks around the block each day.  I
am therefore hoping to find a family/couple who has
a farm or at least a big back yard for them to explore,
or perhaps lives near a beach as they love the water.  
The boys are in excellent health, full of life at 7.5
years old, litter mates, pure bred, and are well
groomed and well behaved. They would make
great family pets.  They are fairly docile and
affectionate indoors, like big lapdogs!  Outside,
they are happy occupying themselves, just
exploring nature,
chasing birds and running around.  They are
also playful and love to fetch as well!  They are
best friends and are each other's family, so
wherever they go, they will need to stay
together, as it would be too cruel to separate
them at this point.  
English setters in good health typically live until they are
14, 15, or 16, so they are at the half way point in there
lives.  They bond very quickly with humans, as my
dog-sitters can attest.  I have attached some
photographs of the boys.  Please feel free to forward this
email on to anyone you think might be suitable and
interested in adopting them: 212 877 7799 and 917 434
1188. I would be happy to talk to anyone you refer.  It is
my number one priority to find them a loving home for the
next half of their lives.  This has not been an easy decision
for me to make, but I do believe, if I can find the right
home, that it will ultimately be the best thing for them.
Rumi and Dante will only
be adopted together.
