My story

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

Meet Hannah, a sweet and affectionate girl who’s been part of our family for the past five years. She adores cuddling with our kids, basking in the sun, rolling on her back, and napping by my side while I work. However, Hannah now needs a new home where she can thrive.

When we adopted her, she was a greeter dog at the South LA Shelter, known for being great with kids, dogs, and cats. She even earned an A+ at doggy daycare. Unfortunately, our family faced a life-altering event when our young son was diagnosed with cancer, forcing us to move in with my elderly parents. Hannah, being too much for them to handle, spent the next year and a half in foster care. She did best with an experienced dog trainer and two large dogs during this time.

Since coming home in 2020, we've discovered that Hannah can be selective about other dogs and new people. She’s had successful playdates at her trainer’s facility but doesn’t get along with our other dog, leading to two fights in the past three years. She also gets anxious around unexpected visitors, occasionally nipping but never leaving a puncture. With proper introductions on a leash, she’s been sweet and friendly.

We’ve tried everything—training, baby gates, and changing our routines—but it's clear Hannah needs a home with a pit-savvy owner who understands her behavior. Recently, she slipped out the door at a friend’s house and was injured in a scuffle with another dog. Her trainer believes she can succeed in the right environment and has generously offered to board her for a couple of weeks while we search for her forever home.

Hannah is a loving dog who needs structure and a firm, experienced owner. We’ve poured years of effort into her because of her incredible heart, and now we’re asking for help in finding her a safe and loving home.

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.
