Forte Animal Rescue: 9 Dogs and Puppies for Adoption

My name is Pippa, and I’m beautiful, spoiled, and pretty good at getting my way! My favorite hobbies include playing ball, going for car rides, eating, and chasing my foster family’s cats (although I’m not quite sure what I’d do if I ever caught one!). I also love kids—and their parents, too! I do have one little habit you should know about: I love chewing on anything left on the floor. So, the rule is simple: Pick up your shoes, or I’ll pick them up for you!

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?)

My original family adopted me from the pound when I was 14 weeks old. I am now being fostered because my humans could no longer keep me due to health issues. I have lots of energy and enjoy long walks, playing fetch, and cuddling. I am loyal and protective, and I alert my humans when someone new enters my home or when someone is outside. I miss my sister Rosie from my original family. I would love a family where I can feel safe and protected, with a big yard where I can run and play. I’m excited for my next adventure with a loving family.

I’m Cubby, a friendly, affectionate guy who loves being with people! Once I get to know you, I’m a real cuddlebug who loves belly rubs, being brushed, snuggling up, and settling in for a cozy nap. I enjoy other dogs too—except when I’m on a leash. I also have a playful side and love chasing balls, so I’m equally happy having fun or relaxing by your side. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who will happily fill your days with playtime, cuddles, and companionship, I’m your guy!

I’m Bolda, and I came to Forte with the help of some good people after my human abandoned me. I have no idea why. I mean, I’m perfect: beautiful, calm, friendly, and I love going for walks and playing with other dogs. They don’t really know how big I’ll get, but they keep talking about my big paws. So, don’t be surprised — you never know how I’ll turn out! One thing’s for sure: I’m already pretty fabulous.

If you are interested in meeting Bolda, 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.

Meet your future best friend! I’m a resilient Frenchie who is full of love. My journey started in a tough place — I was found on the streets covered in fleas and ticks, with damaged skin and bald spots. With patience, care, and time, I healed beautifully.

Today, I’m a healthy, playful adult dog who enjoys going on walks but is just as happy indulging in my absolute favorite hobby: sleeping and lounging around. I thrive on human attention and companionship, and because I love being the center of your world, I can sometimes get a little jealous when other dogs get the spotlight instead of me — but I’m working on it.

Hi, my name is Milo! I came from a bad situation where my human kept me in a crate for six months, even though I was still just a puppy. In spite of that, I’m a happy, friendly boy who loves people and gets along great with other dogs. Because I’m young, I have lots of energy, so I’ll need plenty of exercise, playtime, and doggy playdates to keep me happy and out of trouble. I love toys and treats, and have I mentioned how handsome I am?

Hi! I’m Potato. I was rescued from the county pound just one day before I was scheduled to be executed. Back then, I was scared and completely shut down. I’m now living with my foster family, including two other dogs, a 13-year-old boy, and his mom. I love them all, but I dream of having a person or family to call my very own. I’m incredibly affectionate and naturally protective of the people I love. My trainer says I’m the best boy! I’m eager to please, listen well, and already know commands like sit, stay, heel, and come. I walk nicely on a leash with a gentle reminder, although I can get excited when I see other dogs and bounce around because I love to play.

Stella!!! No, not Brando’s Stella, but I can be your Stella.

It’s a familiar story: I was found with my puppies, they were taken away, and I was dumped at the pound, which I definitely did not appreciate. But I’m determined not to let that define me. I’m ready to move on and make a great life for myself — maybe you can help with that?

I’m an energetic girl and seem to enjoy playing with other female dogs. I might warm up to the boys too; I just need a little time. Be sure to come see me at a Forte adoption event. I may be the perfect addition to your family!
