Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue
Mission
Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue was established in 2002 and has saved over 11,000 dogs from euthanasia from various Los Angeles shelters. Los Angeles has the highest kill rate of any urban city in the United States for domestic animals. Ace of Hearts is a strictly foster based rescue and has anywhere between 50 to 100 dogs in our care at onetime. We attribute our less than 1% return rate to our foster program. We do not discriminate against any breed, age, or size of dog. We have wonderful programs such as our Seniors for Seniors program and our Shelter Finder Program. Our Seniors for Seniors program matches senior humans with senior pets. Our Shelter Finder Program helps us find specific breeds for adopters that we do not currently have in our care. We are in desperate need of funds after losing everything in the Pacific Palisades fire on January 7th, 2025, as we would like Ace to last another 20 years!
Vision
Our overall vision is to have no animals of any kind euthanized in the LA Shelter System by implementing mandatory spay and neuter. Ace of Hearts has helped pass, AB1634, a mandatory spay and neuter law in LA County, yet the LA Shelter Manager and local government is not enforcing it.
Goals
- 1.Ace of Hearts has been around for 23 years and we would like to continue doing our amazing work for another 30 years. After losing our headquarters in the Palisades Fire, the community was so strong in reaching out and helping, it empowered our Board to never give up and to continue the fight to save another 11,000 dogs. We attribute our less than 1% return rate because we strictly foster based.
- 2.We see the euthanasia rate in Los Angeles County going up instead of down after 23 years. We are pushing our low cost spay and neuter program to low income families as hard we can, but even at our discounted rates vet care has become more expensive than prior years. We would like to continue our fight towards mandatory spay and neuter. Vet care has also affected our Seniors for Seniors Program.
- 3.Ace of Hearts has always been run by two full time employees, we could continue to do more work, and even better work, with one more full time employee. We currently have a Shelter Manager and Operations Manager, we would love to an Adoption Manager as the Operations Manager is spread very thin.
