My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Buster, a loving 5-year-old Boxer mix who’s looking for a patient and understanding forever home. Rescued as a stray from a high-kill shelter, Buster has some anxiety triggers and needs a special kind of home where his fears can be addressed with care.

Buster isn’t fond of people putting their hands near his face, so he needs a family who can respect his boundaries and work with him gently. He tends to bond strongly with one person and would thrive best in a quieter, single-person household. In return, Buster offers deep loyalty and affection to his chosen person.

Buster is good with his main caregiver but requires an experienced owner who can help him build trust and confidence. He also has skin allergies and is on a specialized diet of only pork and fish to keep him healthy.

If you’re an experienced dog owner with a calm home environment and a heart full of patience, Buster could be the perfect companion for you. With the right support, he will become a loving and devoted member of your family.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from various Los Angeles shelters the day they are to be euthanized. Our goal is to help provide animals with a second chance to a happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs. Once rescued, we place our dogs into loving foster homes while they await adoption. We do not keep dogs in kennels. Placing the dogs in foster homes is the first step to rehabilitation, as it allows us to thoroughly evaluate a dog's demeanor and needs enabling us to make the perfect match of dog and permanent owner. We attribute our high rate of successful placement to our foster program. At Ace of Hearts, we do not discriminate against any breed, including those in the bully breed family. Additionally, Ace of Hearts is dedicated to educating the public on how to be responsible pet owners and on the importance of spaying and neutering. We believe the real solution to pet overpopulation is through spaying and neutering pets.
