MISSION

Ace of Hearts is a 501(c)(3) dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs of all breeds. We save them the day they are to be euthanized from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. The Ace of Hearts Foundation is in memory of Ace, a wonderful American Bulldog who was rescued from death and touched the lives of many (Especially our founder, Kari Whitman)!

Foster a dog, save a life!

One of the best ways you can help Ace of Hearts is volunteering to foster a dog. For each new foster home that opens up, we are able to save the life of another shelter dog on death row. Opening your heart and home to a dog in need can bring you joy and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve made a difference in an animal’s life. Simply put, fostering saves lives! You provide the love and attention; we provide everything else! We provide you with food, treats, a bed, and any veterinary care the dog may need. (You call us to arrange.)

How you help

Ace of Hearts could not survive without the invaluable support of its volunteers. Even if you are unable to adopt or foster a dog, don’t fret! There are plenty of ways to turn your passion for animals into much-needed assistance.

About us

We are a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs, the day they are to be euthanized, from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. In the greater Los Angeles County shelters alone an average of 475 pets are euthanized daily. There just aren’t enough homes for them all. Our goal is to help provide animals a second chance to a happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation. We save dogs in need and provide them with care and foster homes while they await adoption. We do NOT take dogs in … we rescue only from shelters.
