Rescue Dog of the Week: Alfie the American Bulldog Mix
Alfie is a young, male American bulldog mix and a shelter favorite. He has been neutered and is up to date with his routine shots. Not much is known of his past since he was found as a stray, but there is no denying Alfie is a darling dog that would make a great companion. This sweet pooch is looking for a foster home, or even better, a forever 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. Be sure to follow Beverly Hills Patch on Twitter and “Like” us on Facebook .

Lobbying Skyrockets in California
Lobbying in California is exploding as special interests spend a record amount of cash lobbying Sacramento lawmakers — a shocking $285.6 million .
