Another Chance for English Setters (ACES) was founded in 1999. In 2002, the IRS classified ACES as a tax-exempt charitable organization, as defined in IRS Regulation 501(c)(3). Over the years, our rescue has grown into a national organization with volunteers and adopters across the country. ACES does not maintain a central location; we have foster homes in many states. ACES depends on the dedication of our selfless volunteers and our generous donors; without them we would not be in the rescue business. As of October 2010, ACES has helped more than 1,800 English Setters.
