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 # & email:
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
PONCHO – 4.5 year old Husky/Shepherd Mix. Intelligent. Loyal. One of a Kind, “Poncho is sweet and smart, but not for beginners. He’s a true working dog brain with a big heart and a quirky soul.”. Super smart, independent, and affectionate on his term. Great with selective medium to large dogs, pending meet and greet (not small dogs or cats). Has separation anxiety; needs a calm, structured home and a foster who works from home or has time to exercise and supervise. Bonus: Not a cuddler—but a deeply rewarding companion for the right person. Has had some skin/eye sensitivities; currently stable. Needs a foster from Aug 24–Sept 1 2025, and long-term after
AXEL 4 year old, Male, Lab/Aussie/Shepherd Mix. Goofy, Loving & 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!)
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!)
HERCULES – 5yr old, Male, English Bulldog. Sweet, Couch Potato, and a little stubborn! Great With other dogs & 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!)
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

Fostering gives dogs a second chance. You’ll help them come out of their shell, learn to trust again, and find the loving homes they deserve.
