Farewell to a Friend

Kerby? - June 30, 2008

Kerby became a part of the ACES family on June 10, 2005, when he was nine years old.  We don't know how he spent most of his life, but we do know that during his last three years, Kerby was surrounded by people who loved him, near and far.


2009 Star Setters

2008 Calendar Pages

One of our favorite fundraising projects, the annual ACES calendar, is right around the corner!  Now is the time to submit your photos to be featured for a month or a day of 2009.


2009 ACES Calendar Cover Contest

2008 ACES Calendar CoverHow many of you have the 2008 ACES calendar?  Would you like to see your special setter on the cover of next year's calendar? 

We thought it would be fun to have a contest where ACES adopters can submit pictures of their ACES setter for consideration for the 2009 cover.

Good News for Jackson

Jackson Our dear Jackson needs your help.  Jack, as he is fondly known, is a senior ACES foster dog.  As an older setter, Jack has seen his fair share of the vet's office, but he has not had any major problems...until now.  Jack has developed a large fatty cyst around his front leg, where his elbow meets his chest.


ACES Website Features

ACES has a new look!  We're very excited about the ACES website and would like to share some of the new features with you.

  • The dogs new to ACES will appear first on the Available Dogs page.  If a change is made to an existing dog profile (e.g., an update, new pictures or adding a friend), that dog will move to the front of the list.
