FOSTERS NEEDED – HELP US SAVE DOGS LIKE PONCHO, AXEL & BROWNIE

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 save dogs from high-risk shelters before they’re euthanized and place them into loving foster homes while they wait for their forever families.

We’re a fully foster-based rescue – we don’t have a facility, so we can’t save more dogs unless we have more fosters.

Right now, we urgently need kind, reliable fosters in the LA area for the amazing dogs below:

URGENTLY SEEKING FOSTERS FOR:

PONCHO – Intelligent. Loyal. One of a Kind.

Breed: Husky/Shepherd Mix | Age: 4.5 years

Personality: Super smart, independent, and affectionate on his terms

Needs: A foster from Aug 24–Sept 1, and long-term after

Great With: Selective Medium to large dogs, pending meet and greet (not small dogs or cats)

Challenges: 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.

“Poncho is sweet and smart, but not for beginners. He’s a true working dog brain with a big heart and a quirky soul.”

AXEL – Goofy, Loving & Ready to Learn

Breed: Lab/Aussie/Shepherd Mix | Age: 4 years

Personality: High-energy, affectionate, athletic

Great With: Other dogs, leash trained, potty trained

Needs: A foster ASAP who can continue working with him and commit to training support (we provide guidance!)

Challenges: 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.”

BROWNIE – Senior Sweetheart in Crisis

Breed: Lab/German Shepherd Mix | Age: 13 years

Personality: Gentle, mellow, sweet-natured

Great With: People and calm environments

Needs: Urgent foster by 8/16 – recovering from medical treatment

Challenges: Needs to be the only pet in a home; reactive on leash; prone to allergies and stress when moved around too often

Medical: Stable. On some light medication, all provided by us

“Brownie is housebroken, loving, and just wants to nap near his person. He deserves to rest in a home, not a kennel.”
