My story

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

Background: Bart is a lovable boy with a heart as big as his jowls. He was adopted last year but unfortunately returned due to a misunderstanding. While being kept in the garage, Bart mistook a family member for an intruder and nipped their fingers. Throughout his life Bart has been consistently neglected or abandoned. Despite this, Bart is actually very sweet and loving.

Personality: Bart takes some time warming up to new people. He has been with two different fosters and shows them complete love. He is an affectionate boy who adores HIS people. He loves nothing more than showering his human friends with kisses and cuddles. Bart is eager to please and is always ready for a nice walk or a nap on the couch.

Ideal Home: Bart is looking for a patient and understanding adopter who will give him the love and reassurance he needs. Bart is hoping to find a forever home where he will be cherished and loved unconditionally.

Bart would do best in a home without children and no other dogs. He has not been tested with cats. Although he has not shown any aggression towards other dogs, he rarely looks to play and has been known to be reactive. Bart is a very strong boy and fills out his frame (pictures are deceiving, when you meet him you'll understand - he is a BIG boy and draws a lot of compliments and eyes whenever he's seen). An adopter with experience with Bart's breed and knowledge of his background would be an ideal fit!

Adoption Information: If you are interested in fostering Bart or giving him the forever home he deserves, please apply at aceofheartsdogs.com. Bart is ready to be your loyal companion and best friend for life.

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.
