Foster a Rescue Dog This Holiday Season and Save a Life!

Looking to spread some extra love and joy this holiday season? Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue is seeking passionate fosters to provide temporary or long-term homes for our rescue dogs. By fostering, you’ll not only save a dog from a high-kill shelter but also be part of their journey toward finding a forever family.

Fostering is an incredibly rewarding experience, and we’ll provide all the supplies, food, and medical care your foster dog needs. Plus, we offer a stipend to cover gas for medical appointments and adoption events. Whether you’re in it for the long haul or just have a couple of weeks to spare this holiday season, we’d love to have you join our team!

What You Need to Know Before Signing Up:

Please read thoroughly to ensure fostering is the right fit for you:

- Must be 21 years or older.

- No children under the age of 8 in the home.

- No small dogs or cats in the home (larger dogs are okay).

- Comfortable with larger dogs (50-90 lbs on average).

- Must be okay fostering shelter dogs with unknown backgrounds.

- Adoption events are mandatory: Attend every other Saturday at the Petco in West Hollywood (this is also when supplies are provided).

- Approval from all roommates, family members, landlords, etc., is required before fostering.

Why Fostering Matters:

Every day, countless dogs face euthanasia simply because shelters are overcrowded. By fostering, you give these dogs a safe and loving environment to decompress and heal. While some may come with quirks—like needing potty training or extra patience—you’ll see firsthand how love and care can transform a scared shelter dog into a happy, confident companion.

This holiday season, you can be their miracle!

Meet Some Dogs Looking for Fosters Now:

Axel

- Meet Axel, a 4-year-old Labrador/Aussie Shepherd mix with endless energy and a big heart.

- At 100 lbs, he’s a strong and active boy who loves hiking, running, and playing with other dogs.

- Axel thrives in quiet, adult-only homes where his people can give him plenty of attention and guidance.

- While he’s great with dogs of all sizes, busy streets and loud environments can make him uneasy. He’s working on his confidence, and a foster who understands his needs will help him shine.

- Axel is house-trained and healthy, and he’s ready for a foster who can keep up with his zest for life!

Ruby and Lucy

- This bonded pair of Shar Pei/Lab mixes are sweet, snuggly, and perfectly behaved at home.

- They adore each other and need to stay together, but they don’t get along with other dogs, so a pet-free home is a must.

- On walks, they can be reactive to other dogs, so their foster will need to manage outings carefully.

- These two are protective of their home and will need slow introductions to new visitors. But once they trust you, their love is boundless!

- Ruby & Lucy need a temporary foster from 12/19 - 12/28 while their long-term foster is away.
