Foster homes keep the foster dogs in their home, evaluate temperament and traits, work to eliminate any bad habits, feed high-quality dog food, maintain the dog on heartworm preventative, and transport to vet if necessary. Potential adopters must complete an adoption form which is submitted to the ACES Adoption Coordinator. Vet and personal references are checked, and then a home visit is made by an ACES volunteer. Adopters pay an adoption fee to ACES for their English Setter. Public education about English Setters and rescue are very important to ACES, and we attend many public events with an education booth.
ACES conducts fund-raising to defray the veterinary and other costs incurred by our volunteers.
