Looking for a way to make a meaningful impact this holiday season? Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue is urgently seeking committed, loving fosters to help care for our rescue dogs. Fostering is life-changing for these animals and can be equally rewarding for you.
Whether you’re available for long-term fostering or just during the holidays, your home could be the safe haven a dog desperately needs. We are CONSTANTLY in need of new fosters so we can save dogs in the shelters. We have listed a few of our dogs in need for the holidays, but even if these dogs don't seem like the right fit, we always need new fosters to help save new dogs Please consider helping a dog today.
Meet the Dogs Who Need You:
Axel
Lab/Shepherd mix, 100 lbs
- Axel has lots of energy and loves other dogs. He’s very intelligent and loyal but is easily overwhelmed in noisy, high-traffic areas or around young kids. Axel needs a foster who understands his triggers (like strangers reaching for him) and can provide a structured, calm environment. At home, he’s playful and affectionate, enjoying tug-of-war and fetch. He’s been in training and boarding but needs a stable home while awaiting adoption.
Pie
English Bulldog, long-term foster needed starting 12/7
- Pie is a lovable, energetic bulldog who has learned so much in his current foster home. He knows tricks, is housetrained, and walks well on a leash. He’ll thrive with a foster who can continue his training and give him plenty of playtime.
Macks
Cattle dog mix, temporary foster needed 12/14–12/30
- Macks is a dream dog at home: housetrained, non-destructive, and incredibly loving with people. She’s reactive to other dogs on walks and must be kept separated from them. Outside of that, she’s perfect—friendly, well-behaved, and a joy to foster.
Ruby and Lucy
Bonded pair, temporary foster needed starting 12/22
- These two are loving with each other but don’t do well with other dogs or cats. They’re house-trained and healthy, but they can be wary of new people and protective of their home. They do best meeting new people off their home turf. If you’re looking to help a bonded pair through the holidays, Ruby and Lucy are a wonderful choice.
Wallace
Pit/husky mix, temp foster needed 12/23 - 12/30
- Wallace, a handsome pit/husky mix, is looking for a temporary foster from 12/23 to 12/30! Wallace is full of energy and would love an active foster who enjoys trips to the park, hikes, or other adventures. He’s great with other dogs and absolutely adores people, but his enthusiasm for life means he’ll thrive in a home with someone who can match his active lifestyle. If you’re ready to make Wallace’s holiday special, we’d love to hear from you!
