Looking to make a real difference? Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding things you can do. At Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue, we rescue dogs of all breeds from high-risk shelters before they’re euthanized, and we place them into loving foster homes while they wait for their forever families.
We need long-term fosters for medium/large breed dogs listed below. Please let us know who you are interested in fostering when you reply! Also include your contact phone # and email:
LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS ALSO NEEDED FOR SHORT TERM FOSTERING, IF THAT BETTER SUITS YOUR SCHEDULE OVER LONG TERM PLEASE REACH OUT AND LET US KNOW!
TIGER - 18 month old, Male, Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix. Happy, healthy, playful – loves people! Needs confident handler to work on leash reactivity. Best as the only pet in the home. Tiger is great with other dogs and thrives in a playful environment. He loves to play hard and has had training, making him a fun and active companion. However, he’s not a fan of cats and would do best in a home without them. Tiger would be the perfect addition to a family with another active and playful dog or an active household that can keep up with his boundless energy. Needs a foster ASAP who can continue working with him and commit to training support (we provide guidance!)
BRUCE - 8 year old, Male, English Bulldog. Our Bruce-y boy is filled with love in every pound of his body and he'll show you that by wagging the little nub we call his tail! Bruce has mastered the art of getting what he wants; if you're smart enough you can recognize the signs but you'll never succeed in saying no. When his head turns to the side and his ears are flopped forward there's no turning back! Bruce loves his human friends, he's very obedient and loves to show you how he sits and gets down! Bruce is very treat motivated so we think adding a few more tricks to his rolodex won't be an issue! Bruce does not seem to like other dogs, there are times where he has no reaction to a passing pup but others where it is clear he needs to be the only dog in the home. Lucky for you, he has enough love to give you 10 dogs worth of affection! Needs a foster ASAP
AXEL 4 year old, Male, Lab/Aussie/Shepherd Mix. Goofy, Loving and; Ready to Learn. High-energy, affectionate, athletic. Great with other dogs, leash trained, potty trained Mouthy/playful when overstimulated; separation anxiety; not ideal for first-time dog people. “He just needs someone who won’t give up on him. Axel is smart, responsive, and desperate for consistency and care.”
Needs a foster ASAP who can continue working with him and commit to training support (we provide guidance!)
HERCULES – 5yr old, Male, English Bulldog. Sweet, Couch Potato, and a little stubborn! Great With other dogs and people - but does need some extra patience when it comes to walking! He doesn't LOVE walking but needs the exercise - aka he will need some coaxing, does not like face touched for meds, needs desensitizing & patience. Needs a foster ASAP who can continue working with him and commit to training support (we provide guidance!)
BROWNIE - 13 year old, Male, Lab/Shepherd Mix. Meet this Distinguished Senior. Very lovable boy! Loves people but does need to be the only dog in the house! Also needs a foster that can handle his strength on leash! At 52 pounds, this gentle soul combines the best of both breeds with a sweet, mature personality that comes from years of giving love. Perfect for someone looking for a mature companion who's already mastered the basics of being a good boy. Needs a foster by 8/28/25
We’re a fully foster-based rescue – we don’t have a facility. That means we can’t save more dogs unless we have more fosters. Right now, we’re urgently looking for kind, reliable people in the Los Angeles area to help us save lives.
We provide all food, supplies, and medical care. You provide a safe, loving home and help show these dogs what it means to be cared for. This is not a job, this is an opportunity for dog lovers to be compensated for their time and commitment to the dogs care
