    Description

    Standby (on-call) Volunteers & Doggy Chefs Needed!

    Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue is always in need of Standby Volunteers who can be on-call in case we have a last minute transportation need. It could be anything from taking a dog to the vet, to a new foster, getting medication or supplies to a dog or most importantly, being a dog's hero by giving her/him a "freedom ride" from a shelter where they may be euthanized.

    If you can't be on-call for a full day, even a few hours helps a lot. We like to have a list of Standby Volunteers scheduled 2 weeks out. Do you have any time in the next 2 weeks that we could add you to this list? If you do, please let us know the days and time windows.

    In addition to Standby Volunteers, we're also in need of doggy chefs! If you're able to cook for our dogs in your kitchen, we'll reimburse the food costs. Here are 2 recipes that we use:

    Chicken and Rice Recipe

    Ingredients:

    2 Cups Plain white rice (sushi/long grain, basmati)

    2 Pounds ground Chicken

    2 Pounds ground Turkey

    Small Bag of Frozen Organic Peas and Carrots

    Substitutions:

    If chicken is not available 4 Cups of Turkey in total is fine.

    Can substitute extra lean beef for the chicken and/or turkey.

    Instructions:

    Cook rice in a pot, water should cover the rice 3 inches. Bring to Boil and stir.

    Add meat/veggies in raw stir in well put on lid and simmer.

    Simmer until water is absorbed.

    Let cool and package in zip lock bags.

    Beef and Rice Recipe

    Ingredients:

    2 Cups Plain white rice (sushi/long grain, basmati)

    4 Pounds ground Beef*

    Small Bag of Frozen Organic Peas and Carrots

    • Use the leanest ground beef you can get (90% lean to 96% lean preferred)

    Instructions:

    Cook rice in a pot, water should cover the rice 3 inches. Bring to Boil and stir.

    Add meat/veggies in raw stir in well put on lid and simmer.

    Simmer until water is absorbed.

    Let cool and package in zip lock bags.

    If you're able to be a doggy chef, please save the receipts and it would be perfect if you could drop the meals off to us at Petco (508 N. Doheny Dr., WEHO) on Saturday, May 10th @ 1:00-2:00 pm so we can distribute to our fosters who are coming to pick-up supplies between 2:00pm-4:00pm.

    Please reach out if you're able to help our pups!
