Who We Are
Mission: To rescue dogs, the day they are to be euthanized, from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes.
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. We do NOT take dogs in … we rescue only from shelters. The Ace of Hearts Foundation is in memory of “Ace”, a wonderful American Bull dog who was rescued from death, and touched the lives of many! (Especially founder Kari Whitman!) We rescue all breeds…and don’t discriminate against any!
What We Do
Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue offers several key services and programs:
-
Rescue Operations: The organization focuses on rescuing dogs from Los Angeles shelters the day they are scheduled for euthanasia, providing them with a second chance at life.
-
Foster Care: Once rescued, dogs are placed in loving foster homes where they receive care and rehabilitation while awaiting adoption. This approach allows for thorough evaluation of each dog’s demeanor and needs, ensuring a perfect match with their future families.
-
Adoption Services: Ace of Hearts facilitates the adoption process by connecting rescued dogs with qualified, loving homes. The organization emphasizes responsible pet ownership and works to ensure that each dog is placed in an environment suited to their needs.
-
Spay and Neuter Programs: Dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation, Ace of Hearts promotes and participates in spay and neuter initiatives to control the number of unwanted animals.
-
Public Education: The organization educates the public on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the benefits of adopting rescue dogs.
