How do ACES dogs end up in rescue?
Homeless setters come to ACES from a variety of sources. Some of them are turned into our rescue by their owners. Others are transferred to our rescue from shelters. By moving purebred dogs into the rescue for their breed, shelters can make room for other dogs. There are many reasons dogs are looking for new homes. Here are a few: they were found as strays, their family’s circumstances have changed (move, new baby, divorce), the family doesn’t have enough time for the dog, or the setter won’t hunt (for the hunter) or is too energetic (for the typical family).
