KITTY QUEST

By purchasing a Greener Kitty bed, you won't just be making your pet happy and snuggly...you'll be helping other, less fortunate animals as well. Kari Whitman founded Greener Pup/Greener Kitty to help save the earth and save animals at the same time -- 100% of ALL profits from Greener Kitty goes directly to the Ace of Hearts foundation.


Ace with founder
Kari Whitman
Ace of Hearts is a 501c-3 animal rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing pets the day they are to be euthanized from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. The Ace of Hearts Foundation is in memory of "Ace", a wonderful American Bull dog who was rescued from death, and touched the lives of many - especially founder Kari Whitman.
Ace of Hearts has placed thousands of deserving pets like Opal (right) in loving new homes. Some pets like Diamond (left) need extensive surgery and medical care before they can be adopted.

Kitties who need your help!

Willie is a spayed 10-year-old Tortie who was surrendered after her guardian died and the family didn't want to take responsibility for her care. Willie is a bit on the timid side, but is coming around!

This is Stella, a 4 1/2 year old Russian Blue Longhair. She was found wandering alone as a stray. Stella's a bit saucy, but loves other cats and is very friendly toward people!

Ginger is three years old, and was brought to the shelter caught in a trap! At first, she was udnerstandably shy, but now she greets everyone she meets; she's a real sweetheart!


A few of the Ace of Hearts "success stories":



JoJo

JoJo is doing great and becomes funnier everyday.  She is quite entertaining thinking that she is a 17 lb. pug.  Burrito thinks he is a 70 lb bull dog!!!  They play together, cuddle together and totally love each other.  Who would have known.  Hope all is well with you both and that Ace of Hearts is doing well.  
 
Love,
The Buffa Family

Ivory

Hi Kari. Just a note to tell you Ivory (formerly, “Porkchop”) is doing GREAT. It’s been five years since we flew back to Maryland together, and we’ve recently adopted another Bull Terrier.

He brings out her “inner puppy.”

Thanks again for helping us with the long-distance adoption.

Our lives are so much richer because of you
.


Molly

Hi Kari!

 Just wanted to let you know how well Molly is doing with us.  It's coming up on two years and I can't remember life without her!  She is without a doubt the best dog and the best thing I have ever done.  I can't thank you enough for putting us together :)


Mel

from Mel's new family:

Ace of Hearts, Kari, Eric, and Mel’s Foster Parents,

Thank You, For bringing Mel in to my life!!  I’ve been visiting different adoption agencies in the area and Ace of Hearts is the best organization I’ve come across.  It’s evident all of you care very much for animals and are mainly concerned about finding loving homes for your dogs.  Eric listened to my “wish list” for a dog and instantly knew Mel would be the right one for me.  I feel so lucky and fortunate to become his new parent. I didn’t think it was possible to satisfy every wish on my list!

Mel is super mellow and gets many compliments every time we go for a walk.  He is all Eric said he would be.

I haven’t heard him bark yet or be the aggressor to people, dogs or cats! Mel is the perfect companion and loves to be loved.

You can see Mel lounged here on one of his soft beds.. Mel, loves to spread out on something smooshy!

I think what all of you are doing is very admirable and I hope you will continue to get the support you need to revive dogs and pairing them with deserving families.


Rosebud


Hi Kari! I just wanted to send an update on the amazing Rosebud, who now lives in our new home in Olympia, Washington. We fostered her for two months (back in the fall of 2005), then fell in love and decided to adopt her.. she is the cutest, funniest, clowniest dog around! We have figured out that she is part Ibizan hound (which accounts for her huge ears and sighthound ways) and part bull terrier. Justin and I are completely attached to her, and she loves her stepbrother Otis the dog, and tries to love her cat cousins Olive and Ringo, though they still swat at her from time to time!

Last year, when we were still living in Los Angeles, she came down with a terrible bacterial infection in her chest known as 'pyothorax'.. the vets think it was caused by inhailing a foxtail or thorn on one of our many hikes. She received top-notch care in the i.c.u. at A.S.G. in Glendale for 9 days on chest tubes, with only a 50/50 chance of survival.. by day three she had that Rosebud spark back in her eyes, and by day 6 she was ready to run around! She has such a intense drive for life, and optomistic attitude, that she actually helped ME get through that terribly difficult time. I just wanted to let you know that she is such a wonderful, funny, happy dog that gets to go for long walks everyday, and run around as much as she wants in the yard with her neighbor dog friends. We live on the beach, and she has finally learned to swim-- she loves it! At night she sleeps cozy and snug on our couch. She is simply the cutest little Rose-bug. Thank you for all of the work you do for dogs-- Sarah U.

Madi Lou

from Madi Lou's new family:

Just wanted to say thank you for brining Madi Lou into our lives. She is the best thing that ever happened to us. Attached are a few shots so you can see how well she is doing. Josh and I were browsing your site and came across Maggie the dog with the chemical burns. It just broke our hearts. We made a small donation. I hope it helps a little with her medical bills. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do.


Roxy

from Roxy's new family:

GiGi, now known as Roxy is doing awesome! She's my baby girl. We've been taking her everywhere this summer. She loves the lake! She is the best wake eater ever! She pounces up and down like a puppy trying to get the little waves. We went swimming in a creek and she got to chase fish around. My boys love her to pieces and she just melts when they lay on her. We love our Roxy. We wouldn't be the same without her. We can't thank you enough for our furry family member.

Coby

from Coby's new family:

Robin and I wanted to pass on an update about our successful rescue of Coby the Boxer.  As you know, I fell in love with Coby upon first sight.  I learned in my courtship of Robin, that she takes much longer to admit love than I do.  Well, I assure you now, there is no turning back for either of us.  He has become a loved member of our family, a pleasure in the house and the interest of every passer-by.  Coby is a kind dog that gravitates toward people.  He’s great with kids and has made great strides with other dogs.  People on the street always stop to pet him and comment on his handsomeness.

We are so proud of the work you do at Ace of Hearts.  Your kindness and consideration towards dogs is profound.  You and the volunteers are marvelous people that are improving life.  We are most appreciative of the support and sponsorship Coby received by an Ace of Hearts donor.  As a result of his sponsorship, Coby was able to attend Linn Boyke of Zen4K9’s “Board and Obey” program.  As a graduate of Linn’s program, Coby can now sit on command, run on a treadmill, maintain vigil in his “casa” (also a gift of his sponsor) and socialize with other dogs off-leash.  I highly recommend Linn Boyke for any dog aggression issues.  (www.zen4k9s.com)

In closing, I should have you know that Robin and I struggled with pregnancy for over 18 months.  Coby’s arrival brought us a new set of responsibilities which helped mitigate our pregnancy focus.  To our delight, Robin is now 3 months pregnant and we’ve had Coby for almost 3 months.  Do the math!  Clearly, our rescuing of Coby was one of the best things that ever happened to our family.

Thank you for the lives that you change


Lily

Thought you might like an update on Lily. She is healthy, happy and enjoying the beginning of summer in her poo!.

Moose

from Moose's new family:

I have been meaning to send this email for some time now, as I thought you all might be interested in how Tyson (since renamed to Moose) has been doing.

To put it generically, Moose has been a dream. He really has brought a great new dimension to our daily lives. It is hard to remember what life was like before him. In terms of training, once he got used to his new name, he learned all of his commands very quickly. Clearly, the smartest dog in the world. In terms of health, he has also been great. As you can see from the attached pictures, his face has really cleared up. When we first got Moose, we took him to a vet dermatologist who recommended a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection from the allergies. We also changed Moose to a dry raw food diet to which we add cut fresh vegetables. If nothing else, this guy is food driven. The infection has not come back since that one course of antibiotics and the patches of peachiness have gone away. In terms of demeanor, this guy gets along with everyone. Everyone wants to hang out and get kissed by Moose! Anyway, thought you all might want to know what happened to Tyson/Moose.




Henry

from Henry's new family:

Henry is doing AWESOME! We are SOOO HAPPY with him.
He is a people pleaser...and loves people and attention very, very much! We love HIM very much! My neighbors have all given me the "approval" on Henry as well !!!
Henry is a super, super dog. I am so happy because I know he will be with us FOREVER because he just FITS IN with us. He is happy.....and he makes us happy. He is spoiled with attention....and should be. Poor dog is EXHAUSTED by days end from all the playing and tail wagging he does!

Earl, sharing a quiet meal with his new buddy:


Muffy

Just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know that Muffy is doing amazing. We adopted her in February of 2004 from you guys and now we couldnt imagine our lives without her.  She is the most loving, cudliest dog we've ever met.  Muffy's favorite things to do are nap on the couch, lay on top of people, go to the park and, of course, eat!  She still gets along with Gabby great (our other rescue) and they now are inseperable.  Thanks so much - we've attached some pictures of Muffy too. Hope all is well.

Geisha

from Geisha's new family:

I thought you might like to see these.Thanks again for everything; we
are very blessed to have Geisha in our lives.





Molson

from Molson's new family:

We just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that Molson is awesome and we love him so much.
He's super smart and a great dog and we've have taken him everywhere already.
Here's a few recent pictures of him.



GiGi




Hello there Ace Of Hearts. Just an update on GiGi here in Clovis, CA. She's doing wonderful. A Jewel! She is one of the family! GiGi is doing great. No skin problems and the urinary problems are in the past. She's super healthy and has gained about 10 pounds. She's at 84 lbs. We take her out on a bike ride/jogging every morning and walks at night. She's been on 2 trips with us so far. She got to go camping in Santa Barbara recently and go to my sons first birthday party (all the kids LOVE her).

Lindsey



Rowdy



from Rowdy's new family:

I just wanted to share with you some of the photos we took of Rowdy's birthday party that we had for him back in April (along with his canine friends). We made him his very own birthday cake and he had all kinds of party favors! He had a great time! It's been over a year since we adopted him and we cannot imagine our lives without him. We take him with us almost everywhere we go. He is the smartest dog either one of us has ever had. Sometimes we think he is human! We are waiting for him to start talking any day now! He is so gentle, loving, and well-behaved. We can't imagine why anyone would want to get rid of him. All of our neighbors love him. He is a huge part of the family. Thank you so much for what you do!

Vida

from Vida's new family:

Vida is doing great! We have been loving The Canyon Dog Park, it rocks! She gets along great with other dogs, she plays. She'll have moments if another female dog barks/jumps at her but she doesn't start anything. And her and our cat are tooooo cute. Vida cleans/kisses/licks Domino to sleep! They love each other I know it.

Kari, I cant thank you enough for the match you made with us. You have made this happy family feel so complete.



Skye



from Skye's new family:

Merry Christmas from Scarlett and Skye! Thank you for rescuing Skye and allowing me to adopt the best dog in the world!

Quincy



A note from Quincy's new family:

Just a follow up on Wallace AKA Quincy... He's the perfect dog! We no longer worry about strangers approaching him to give him a hug. Ever since we got his little buddy Stempel, Quincy has completely stopped all aggressive behavior! We enrolled both dogs into a basic dog obedience school...Quincy is a fast learner and the most well behaved dog in the class. I wish I could say the same for his little brother Stempel...oy! Quincy snuggles and sleeps with a few of our cats - believe it or not! He only barks when someone has approached our house - great watch dog. He seems to be training Stempel to do the same. Every time we say the word "walk" both dogs start running to the front door and back to us as excited as can be. My husband and I have to say "W" instead of walk so we don't get them hyper! We can talk to him and he moves his head as if he understands...actually, I know he understands everything we say - so we are careful about teasing him. Sounds crazy - huh?!!

I have attached a picture of Quincy and Stempel wrestling - they love to wrestle!! I hope all is well with you and your rescue group. Quincy has been a beautiful addition to our family!



Paddy (Dixie)

A note from Paddy's new family:

Just a quick note to let you know that Dixie (formerly Pat / Paddy) is doing fine and we couldn't be happier to have her in our family! She and Boomer play together and get along well now. We discovered that Dixie likes to chew and play so she now has a big box of toys to help her expend her chewing energy on. Dixie is the sweetest, most loving dog we could imagine having and we are so happy to have her with us. It is terrible to think that this sweet, beautiful little girl might not be with us now had you not rescued her. It was well worth the drive to Los Angeles from Las Vegas to make her a part of our lives! I would strongly recommend anyone consider adopting an adult rescue dog. Dixie is our third rescue dog and all have been wonderful, loving members of our family. We immediately had a personalized tag made for her collar which she wears with the Ace Of Hearts tag and the blue micro-chip tag.



Vinnie (Wyatt)

A note from Vinnie's new family:

Brought Vinnie (now Wyatt) to dinner Saturday night at my cousins' house - they have a foofy little Italian greyhound rescue who's afraid of everyone and everything - EXCEPT VINNIE! Not a great pic, but it demonstrates what a vicious beast he is (i.e. the complete sweetness that you, Mindy, Amy & everyone else involved in saving him has seen...). I am so grateful to you for saving him & connecting us. I can't describe how great he is, but you know...


DIAMOND

before after  
Diamond was thrown from a 2nd story balcony and her 2 front elbows were broken on impact. But she's recovered and is now enjoying her new family! Here's a note from her new mom:

"Here is a picture from last weekend of Diamond at the beach with me and Vegas. You have to hold on to her to get her to hold still long enough to take a photo now. A far cry from when she came into our lives! She is awesome. She has learned so much. She knows the usual (come, sit , down and stay) but has also mastered wave, high 5, roll over and speak. I can't imagine our lives without her. Vegas is a little over protective of his sister though and does not let anyone mess with her. The second they are too dominent he gets between the strange dog and Diamond and regulates! We enjoy having her in our lives so much and are very thankful to have her." -- Helen, Vegas and Diamond

DAISY

A note from Daisy's new family:

Kari,
We just wanted to send you a picture of our beautiful Daisy. She is doing so well. A good friend of ours is a photographer and took some beautiful pictures of her. I thought you would like to see one. She is doing so great. It took her a while to get over her illnesses but she is doing just great now. We love her so much and wanted to thank you for giving us such a great gift. Daisy is such an important part of our family now we can't imagine being without her. Thank you so much. Our friend takes lots of animal pictures, so if any of your dog owners would be interested in getting pictures taken of their new babies let me know. He would be happy to take them. Hope you are well. Thanks again.

Emily and Sara Turney

SCULLY


Hi,
Just wanted to give an update and thank you Kari, Christie and everyone involved with Ace of Hearts for giving us, the wonderful gift of a loving companion. Scully is the sweetest most lovable dog I've ever met. We've had him for a few months now, and he has brought so much joy to our lives. He really is perfect and sooo well behaved! He loves everybody, and although people get nervous on our walks because of his size, he hasn't got a mean bone in his body. The best way I can describe him is a big baby. He gets along great with other dogs, never barks at them even when they're barking at him, he gets along with my cat Prince which is what we were worried about initially. He is extremely mellow and easy going, he doesn't mind when we leave, no separation anxiety but always greets us at the door with a tail wag, then promptly rolls over on his back for a belly rub. The funniest things about him probably are what a messy eater he is, (he gets his face wiped just like a little baby after eating and drinking) and how quiet he is. He hardly ever barks and on the rare occasion he does, it's a little muffled through the lips WOOF. He has never once whined since we got him, instead he will paw at your arm to get your attention, like if your sleeping, or if he wants you to pet him more if you stop, it's so cute, but it's one heavy paw! He loves the car, treats, tug-a-war the beach, and his papasan chair more than anything. Here are some pictures from the 4th of July when we went to go see a parade. Thank you so much!!
Love,
Scully, Emily and Brian
