deaf MOLLY (Tess)

In March 2003, I flew home from San Francisco to Vancouver with a long legged deaf ES pup, a Llewelyn with caramel spots. I felt like an idiot talking to an animal that couldn't hear me but that didn't last long. Our ACES girl will be 10 this fall and is the love of our lives, along with her 7 pound almost 2 year old mini poodle brother, Jack. Molly and I learned sign language very quickly together. She is a master at reading facial expression. Unless she is asleep, she is a "velcro" dog, wanting to be within our sight. Visitors to our home have no idea she is deaf unless we tell them and marvel at her sign "vocabulary". I would not hesitate an instant to adopt another deaf ES....our life has been so enriched by Molly and what she has taught us about the power of love. Thanks for all the good you do and for the precious gift we have.

Guest Book

I just discovered your website. My husband Neil and I are the happy owners of three beautiful English Setters, Babie 14 years old and the mother of Bandit 12 years and Blackie 11 years. We cannot imagine life without our beloved setters. God bless you for rescuing these dogs.

Volunteering to help any way I can

Great website, user friendly and of course beautiful animals. I lost my last setter a few years ago when she was 14. We went through major surgery and follow up chemotherapy, which gave Dixie two extra happy, healthy years of life in retirement after collapsing from a hemangiosarcoma. First vet said she had 3 months, but with the right understanding and specialist, the children learned a valuable lesson in responsibility, and got two more years with a loving dog they had always known. Keep up the good work, contact me and let me help any way I can.

Re: Welcome to ACES

Hi. I have been glued to your web-site since I found it. I have just lost my beautiful English Setter on Thanksgiving day. She was one of the loves of my life. She was 17 years old. When my heart has healed some I hope to contact you about adopting one of these beautiful dogs. Keep up the good work!

I have a 2 year old English setter named sunny, writer and black, she is a field setter with slot of energy and a passion for birds. She is my world she's my baby girl and I love her she's sweet gental and the most affectionate girl ever.

Looking for English Setter Rescue

I raised English Setters in the 90's and have always missed my Moon Doggie. They are a wonderful breed for families. I will keep an eye on what you have available.
I live in Oregon, how do you screen for possible homes. I have been doing rescue for the past couple of years and would like to find my Jack Russell Shortie a playmate. If there are any rescue setters in need of a home in Oregon I would love to help. I am a stay at home Single Women that spend 24/7 loving, playing and exercising my dog daily, what else gives you this much love and keeps you young?

Millie (aka Kara)

In 2005 we adopted Millie (aka Kara) and Jet from ACES. They have been wonderful companions. At approximately 11 years of age, Ms. Millie has earned her certification as a Therapy DoG. She is such a pleasure to watch as she moves her way through the "crowd" that she draws. Mr. Jet (7 yrs old)will earn his certificate soon and will also be trained as a cancer sniffing doG. They have brought so much love to our home.

CARLEY SUE AND LADY LOU (MISSEY)

WE WELCOMED CARLEY SUE INTO OUR HOME 3/2001 AT 15 MONTHS AND LADY LOU (MISSEY) 7/2001 AT 6 MONTHS. WHAT JOY THEY HAVE BROUGHT TO OUR HOME AND LIVES. THEY ARE DOING FINE AND SLOWING DOWN, AS WE ALL GET OLDER. SINCE 2001 WE NO LONGER WORRY ABOUT SQUIRRELS, BIRDS, AND RABBITS IN OUR YARD. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL FRIEND, LOOK NO FURTHER THEN AN ENGLISH SETTER. THANK YOU ACES FOR ALL YOU DO. THE COURTNEY FAMILY

In Memory of Gordon-the-English-Setter

Just got a note from ACES that my friend Janice made a donation as a memorial to Gordon. Though he wasn't an ACES rescue, Gordon was the light of my life and my first setter. Having Gordon brought me into contact with ACES and other wonderful 'setter people'. WHen it's time I'll be looking for another wonderful ES to adopt. Here's what I wrote on the day after I let him go: "Gordon passed peacefully from this realm last night, Friday July 29, being old, ill and in pain and deserving of a gentle good-night. He came to me almost exactly 12 years ago--one internet match-up that worked--a skinny pup with a big grin. He loved birds, bananas, and riding in the car. Strangers often came up and asked what kind of dog was this handsome carefree friendly guy. He gave much more than he required and he will be missed."
