Forte Animal Rescue
www.farescue.org Forte Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) finding solutions for the problem of pet overpopulation. Based in Marina del Rey, CA
To inspire compassion and responsibility for animals, in addition to rescuing, rehabilitating and finding homes for companion animals.
Forte Animal Rescue offers refuge for homeless dogs until they are placed in their permanent homes. In order to successfully rescue and place the dogs with new families, we rely solely on donations. Once a dog is under our care, we never give up on any dog regardless of behavioral issues or medical challenges, which often means we incur significant expenses for veterinary treatment, behavioral rehabilitation, and boarding for dogs who take more time and care to adopt out.
Forte also offers a structured Junior Volunteer program with hands-on experience, run by a certified high-school teacher. We are dedicated to inspiring compassion and educating the youth about the animal protection. Many children are learning the importance of spay/neuter and proper care of the animals while volunteering with us, and some are so inspired that they have decided to become veterinarians.
Donations or any support is always greatly appreciated. Donations can be made online (www.FARescue.org) or via regular mail at PO Box 10085, Marina del Rey, CA 90295. We are also looking for foster homes for our rescued dogs, along with volunteers to help our adoption events.

Adopt Pistachio!!! 💚💫
・・・
I don’t know how I ended up in the pound, but I’m glad I’m out of there. I’m a bit scared of new things initially, so it takes me a little while to warm up. 🥰 I’m not a social butterfly but I’m learning to be calm around other dogs. If the right family can take the time to show me what true love and affection is, I know I’ll become your sweet, happy companion! 🐕

Hi hi, we’re very friendly and affectionate, and we would love to meet you! ❣️ We haven’t had any caring humans around for a while, so we crave your attention and just want to be the best for you!

Adopt Azula! 💙🦋
・・・
My name means “blue” (pronounced ah-soo-la) for my beautiful blue eyes, and I'm only 7 months old. 🐾 I’m looking for my forever home after my dad and mom suddenly moved out of the country and left me in the good hands of the folks at Forte. I'm very playful, get along great with dogs and kids (working on learning cats at my foster home), and fully vaccinated and my spay surgery is scheduled. I'm still learning some basics, but you'll be very impressed with how smart I am 🤓

Adopt Chyna!!! 🥰🐕🏡
・・・
✨I'm just a sweet calm girl who likes to walk and hang out with my humans. I'm curious about everything I see, and I love to smell the flowers, take car rides and run alongside a skateboard. I’m good with people and kids, and I've met some dogs that I like as well. I can sleep in my crate or take naps with you, but be ready for action whenever something interesting comes up. 🙃 Could you be my forever family? 💕

Adopt Liam!!! 🐕🐾💫
・・・
Hi, I’m just a little nervous guy, you know. 🥺 I honestly don’t know how I ended up in the pound, and I didn’t really like the people there touching me even though they were nice and just tried to look after me. Now I’m at my fosters, I already feel a lot better. There are other canines here but I do mostly love having my people close. ❣️I tend to whine a little when nobody is paying attention to me, and I quite like being carried around. So, call me needy, but I just need to make sure that you love me and don’t abandon me! If you can commit to that, you know where to find me! 🏡

Adopt Legend!!! 🏠 💕✨
・・・
Named after the German Shepherd in the Will Smith film “I am Legend,” this very good boi is truly a star with perfect manners, extreme loyalty, and the most soulful eyes 👀. This 7-year-old boy is 100% house-trained, a perfect balance of mellow at home and excited on walks, and provides more unconditional love than you could ever imagine ❤️. He is healthy and has amazingly clean pearly teeth. Legend walks well on a leash, and enjoys going on a nice walk just as much as being a couch potato at home 🏡. Legend knows sit, stay, and never hesitates to give you his paw to shake. He is friendly towards adults, kids, and strangers alike. In fact, Legend loves meeting and spending time with kids. If you are looking for a great all-around best pal, look no further than Legend who is patiently awaiting his paw-fect forever home ❣️

Adopt Betty (left) and Barney (right)!!! 🐕💕🐕
・・・
Hi, we’re a little shy but very gentle and sweet. ✨ We’re crate and house trained but still a little unsure about walks. It's just all very new to us! Luckily, we have each other and like to be together all the time. 🐶🐶 Would you mind opening your home and heart to us? We really don't need all that much––we just want to be loved and kept safe. 🏡

Adopt Frankie!! 🍁😍
・・・
Frankie (fancy name Frances) is a gentle soul. Her favorite spot is snuggled down beside her human under a blanket, and she makes an excellent little spoon. 🥄 When she’s excited, she looks up at you with her beautiful Disney princess eyes and wags her long tail. She likes to go on walks and will sniff flowers. 💐 When she’s super excited, she does a cool triple spin! When she was rescued at 6 months old, her leg was shattered so badly that she had to have it amputated. She is a three-legged wonder dog, and it doesn’t slow her down one bit! ✨ Come meet this cutie and take her home for the holidays! ❄️
