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.
