We are a 501(c)3 non-profit dog rescue dedicated to rescuing dogs from LA shelters the day they are to be euthanized. We are currently in need of foster homes for these loving and deserving canines. Fostering a dog helps us to save more lives since we are cage-free, and only place our babies in foster homes! We provide you with food, treats, bed and any veterinary care the pooch may need (you call us to arrange), and we pay! This is a great way to save a life and make a little extra cash. Most of the dogs we rescue are between the weight of 60-90 lbs, so you should be comfortable with large breeds. Foster expenses are tax-deductible! Dog training experience is a PLUS, but not necessary! We ask the following from our fosters: - That you are away from home no more than 8 hours/day - That you can transport the dog to/from adoption events at the West Hollywood PetCo two Saturdays/month. - That you have at least some experience with dogs, but you don't need to have dogs of your own (and sometimes it's better if you don't) - That you can commit to four weeks at a time - That you can be communicative letting us know what the dog needs and general information about the dog's personality and temperament - That you can handle LARGE dogs - That you can respond to phone calls within 2 hours (via call, text or email) - That you have approval from your Landlord, Roommate, Housemate, Spouse, Significant Other, etc. DO NOT contact us if you don't have their approval DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU DO NOT MEET ALL OF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU CAN ONLY DO SMALL - MEDIUM DOGS DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU CAN'T RETURN CALLS DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU'RE NOT RELIABLE OR IF YOU'RE UNSURE THAT YOU CAN FOSTER DO NOT CONTACT IS IF YOU DON'T LOVE DOGS

Mission Statement
We are a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs, the day they are to be euthanized, from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. We do NOT take dogs in ... we rescue only from shelters. The Ace of Hearts Foundation is in memory of "Ace", a wonderful American Bull dog who was rescued from death, and touched the lives of many! (Especially founder Kari Whitman!) We rescue all breeds...and don't discriminate against any!
Description
Hello!
Love dogs? Looking to help out and make some new friends along the way?
We need Standby Volunteers daily!
Emergency Volunteers/Stand By's
This may seem like the least helpful, but actually our stand-by's always save us & the dogs! We need you!
You give us the days and times you are available and we add you to a list. Then, if something comes up that day- you will be the first one we call. This helps us reach out to volunteers with availability that day instead of calling our entire volunteer list. If there is a day, half a day, or even a few hours you can volunteer to be placed on a "call in case of an emergency" list, let us know! This can be for many different tasks, and almost
always requires some driving. We try very hard to plan things in advance, but if there is a last minute opportunity to save a life, get a dog adopted, or a foster emergency, it helps to have a handful of people we reach out to first!
We are in desperate need of standby volunteers!
Can't help with this but still want to volunteer? We can always use extra hands:
-Emergency fosters
-Long term fosters
-Temp tests for dogs in shelters
-Transporters (taking dogs to appointments/park/foster)
-Event volunteers
-House check volunteers
