My story

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

This beauty queen with perfect ears is looking for her forever home! Dubbed "the perfect pocket pittie," she was named Chilli after her favorite show, "Bluey." She is 50 lbs, approximately 3 years old, and is an energetic girl who just wants to be around her people whether it's on the couch or in the car en route to the beach. She is crate-trained, dog friendly and has been good with kids while her exposure has been minimal.


Chilli's story is a mystery as she was found on the street in South LA post-partum, scared, and separated from her puppies who were never found. The couple who found her quickly learned that she had a heart condition that required an expensive fix, and knowing the strain currently on the shelter and rescue system would put a dog like her at immediate risk, chose to foster themselves with help from Ace of Hearts, Angel City Pitbulls, Stand Up for Pits and Free Animal Doctor. We are happy to report that her surgery and recovery went perfectly and she will live a long, happy and healthy life with her forever family. She is also spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.


Chilli requires a patient home due to some understandable initial stranger danger. The couple has been taking Chilli to group training classes and working with a trainer 1:1 to build her confidence. It has been going incredibly well and they are happy to make introductions and help facilitate an easy transition.

What You Should Know About Chilli:

Housebroken and crate-trained, Chilli sleeps soundly through the night without a peep.
She'll greet you with a happy dance each morning and patiently waits for her food.
She’s an Olympic Gold Medalist in snuggling and is working hard to perfect her leash manners. While she can get a bit excited on walks, she’s easily redirected.
Chilli’s food-motivated nature makes her a great helper in the kitchen, but she’s never too eager to swipe anything off the table.
Though she may take a little time to warm up, once she does, Chilli is the most loving, floppy, and joyful companion you could ask for. She’s playful, curious, and communicates her needs well. She’s had limited exposure to kids but has done well with the few she’s met.

If Chilli is your soul dog, she’ll be your loyal best friend, whether you’re cuddling on the couch, enjoying a day at the beach, or heading out for a road trip. She’ll thrive in a patient, loving home and will give you everything and more in return.

In early July, Chilli underwent a successful balloon valvoplasty to repair her pulmonic stenosis, thanks to the generosity of over 150 donors. She’s now fully recovered and ready to live a long, healthy life with her forever family.

Chilli is a truly special dog, and we hope you’ll fall in love with her just like we have.

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.
