Rescue Dog of the Week: Ballard the Pointer/Dalmatian Mix

Ballard is an adult male Pointer/Dalmatian mix who was abandoned at a veternarian's office after being hit by a car. He lived in a kennel for years before Ace of Hearts found him. Ballard is so grateful to be out of his cage that he smothers people with kisses upon meeting them. He's very well mannered and is great with other dogs. Now that he's free from the kennel, Ballard is in need of a loving home.

Ace of Hearts is a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs—the day they are to be euthanized—from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. It does not take dogs in. It rescues only from shelters. Its adoption days are normally held every Saturday at the West Hollywood Petco at 508 N. Doheny Drive from 1-4 p.m. Click here for information on how to adopt a rescue dog from Ace of Hearts.
