9. Princey

Adult · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 46 mi from Oxnard

Meet Princey! I came to the rescue scared and worn down, convinced the world wasn’t safe. I had my babies to protect, and I wasn’t about to let anyone get close. But my foster family? They were patient. They showed me that trust isn’t something I had to earn back—it was something I deserved all along. Now I’m that dog who absolutely lights up when you walk in the room. I love affection, I love attention, and I’m so happy to finally be a dog again instead of just a survivor. My four boys, Duke, Baron, Prince, and Earl are growing up so fast, and watching them play and explore reminds me every day that I made the right choice to let people love me.

Now I’m ready for the next step, which is a life where I’m safe and loved in a forever home. I’m a sweet girl who’s ready to trust again, and I’m so grateful for the kindness I’ve already been shown. I have a cherry eye that still needs to be addressed, so my new family will need to make that a priority. Once I’m settled, I’m ready to give my whole heart to someone who’s ready to love me.

Adult · Male · French Bulldog (short coat) · 46 mi from Oxnard

Meet Walter! For about two years, my whole world was a fenced-off cement yard. I didn’t get to explore much, but I always kept my spirits up and waited for something better. Now I’ve seen the vet, and I’m all good to go. I’m ready for the next chapter: a yard of my own is optional, but a family to sit with on the couch is a must. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s been patient for a long time, I’d love to meet you.

20. Ramona

Puppy · Female · Husky / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 46 mi from Oxnard

I was found as a stray by some nice people who helped me find my way to Forte Animal Rescue. I had a microchip, so they were able to contact my previous owner, who clearly never understood what it meant to be my guardian. He told them he didn’t want me anymore because he didn’t have time for a puppy. (Then why did he adopt me in the first place?)

Read more about Ramona

Fortunately, I now have a wonderful foster home where there’s plenty of time for a puppy like me! I share my home with a big, friendly German Shepherd and a cat, and I get along great with both! I’m enjoying life with my foster family, but what I’d really love is a forever home of my very own. Could that be yours? Come meet me at a Forte adoption event!

If you are interested in meeting Ramona, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions.

26. Cleopatra

Adult · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 46 mi from Oxnard

Cleopatra's story is one of rescue, resilience, and second chances. She was rescued from the sewer as a tiny pup by our very own director, Lisa, and her siblings. At just 9 weeks old, she was adopted into a loving home where she spent the next six years as a cherished family member. When her owner recently passed away, she was surrendered to Rancho Cucamonga shelter. The shelter staff went above and beyond to track us down, and we were determined to bring her back where she belonged. It took effort, coordination, and transport to make it happen, but we knew she deserved a second chance. Now 6 years old, Cleopatra is a medium-large mixed breed with stunning blue and amber eyes and a gorgeous cream and tan coat.

Read more about Cleopatra

She carries the weight of her past gently—she's a bit shy at first and reserved when meeting new people. But with patience and kindness, she opens up beautifully. She's loving, affectionate, and genuinely enjoys human connection once she trusts you. We're still getting to know how she does with other dogs, but she's been an absolute joy to have around. After everything she's been through, Cleopatra deserves a home where she can finally settle in, feel safe, and be loved for exactly who she is. Apply to adopt Cleopatra today!

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
