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. 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. 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. 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.
