Foster

compensation: $300/month for dog-friendly individual
employment type: part-time
job title: Foster
non-profit organization

If you adore dogs and are seeking some canine companionship this holiday season, could you provide a temporary home for a larger dog for several weeks or more?

Ace of Hearts is a non-profit dog rescue organization located in Los Angeles dedicated to saving dogs from shelters and offering them a fresh start.

We are seeking compassionate foster caregivers to offer temporary housing for our rescued dogs while we search for their permanent adoptive families. As we rescue dogs from shelters, some may have experienced trauma and require individuals who can provide a sense of safety, comfort, and reassurance. Witnessing shy and fearful dogs gradually place their trust in you is an immensely rewarding experience. Similarly, receiving the unconditional affection of a confident dog is equally fulfilling. Your role involves providing affectionate care and sharing updates on the dog\'s personality, while we supply all necessary items including a bed, food, treats, toys, supplies, and veterinary care.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR FOSTERS WITH PRIOR DOG EXPERIENCE WHO ARE AT EASE WITH LARGE BREEDS.

Logan is a 3-year-old border collie and lab mix. He is currently awaiting leg surgery and therefore has limited exercise capacity.

Participating in our foster program is a deeply gratifying endeavor. You contribute to the rehabilitation of dogs who were abandoned and facing euthanasia at shelters, granting them a renewed opportunity for adoption. Our foster caregivers are genuine heroes.

Requirements for foster applicants:

• Must be 21 years of age or older. Individuals under 21 require parental consent.
• Must be available to foster from December 17 through January 10.
• Must possess reliable transportation and be able to transport the dog to veterinary appointments at a clinic of our designation when needed.
• Must be comfortable with large dog breeds. We primarily rescue bully breeds, and most of our dogs weigh between 50 and 90 pounds. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CAN ONLY FOSTER SMALL DOGS.
• Must have NO children under 10 years old, cats, or other dogs in the household. PLEASE do not contact us if you have children, cats, or other dogs.
• Must have obtained prior approval from all relevant parties such as landlords, property managers, or spouses. Please do not apply without this approval.

If you have any questions, please get in touch. Your assistance helps us save lives.

Please include your phone number and personal email address in your response so we can contact you. WE WILL NOT RESPOND TO INQUIRIES THAT DO NOT INCLUDE A PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS.

Thank you for your time and compassion. With the support of our foster network, we can rescue more dogs and help each deserving animal secure a second chance at a joyful life.
