Ace of Hearts Foundation

I’m Jackie, the Operations Manager at Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue from Pacific Palisades. We are a nonprofit dedicated to saving dogs from high-kill shelters. Tragically, the recent Palisades wildfire completely destroyed our office, which was also our founder’s home.

We lost everything. This included essential equipment like computers, desks, and printers, as well as four deep freezers where we stored gently cooked food for our dogs. All of our supplies—dog food, leashes, collars, and beds—are gone. Our ability to operate has been completely devastated.

Our office was the heart of our rescue, where we coordinated care for over 70 foster dogs, managed adoptions, and ensured every dog had what they needed to thrive. Now, we’re left scrambling to rebuild from nothing.

We need your help to replace the tools and supplies we rely on to save lives. Please consider donating and sharing to help us recover.

The funds raised will go directly toward replacing the essential items we lost in the fire, including:

Thank you for your support!

Friends and family, we need some help! As some of you may know, Mitch and I recently rescued/fostered a puppy that was going to be euthanized at the shelter. When we got her from the shelter, I noticed a large lump on her hip (baseball size!). It looked to be some sort of abscess, but after two different vet visits and diagnostics done, we discovered that it was actually a large hernia and the “lump” was her kidney.

The vet explained that she needed to have surgery sooner than later to repair this or we’d risk losing circulation to the kidney, putting the puppy at risk of major complications including passing away. As you can imagine, this is expensive! With all the diagnostics, medication, and surgery, we are at $10k in vet expenses. In partnership with Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue, we decided to go forward with the surgery. Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue has contributed a great deal to afford these expenses and we will contribute as much as we can on top of the time and care she will need in recovery!

I am creating this GoFundMe to ask for any donations friends/family can give as we did not expect these costs right off the bat, especially from our first foster dog! She is the sweetest girl and we want to give her the best fighting chance to a long, healthy, happy life. Sam greatly appreciates any help ❤️
