QUICK OVERVIEW

Hey there, everybody! We're looking for passionate folks to help our furry friends out by giving them a freedom ride from the shelter.

MISSION

Ace of Hearts is a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes on the day they are to be euthanized. We do NOT take dogs in ... we rescue them 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!



IMPACT

Animal shelters are PACKED now more than ever. Help save a life!



VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

What is a freedom ride volunteer?

Freedom ride volunteers help dogs leave animal shelters and give them their first taste of freedom! We could not survive without the invaluable support of our transport volunteers. Even if you are unable to adopt or foster a dog, you can still help save a life! Giving a dog a ride from the shelter is one of the most rewarding ways you can help a dog.

We rescue dogs from across Southern California and the Los Angeles area. Once dogs leave the shelter they are transported to our office in the Pacific Palisades, where they receive all their supplies and meet their foster families.

REQUIREMENTS

If you are interested in helping, please provide us with a schedule in advance of the days and times you'd be available to help throughout the week!

Volunteers must be 18 years or older and have a valid driver's license.

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
