My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I have everything going for me — I am big, sweet, and loving. I do sometimes enjoy just chilling on the couch or in the backyard, but if something sparks my interest, I will get excited. I currently live with a smaller dog and we get along just well but out on walks, on the leash, I’m way too excited and haven’t quite figured out best doggie manners yet. My fosters say that I’m trying but I’m strong and excitable, so if you can train me to be better on the leash, I would love that! In fact, I did a bunch of training already, and am very good with Sit, Down, Wait, Stay, Touch, and Look-at-Me. We’re now working on Place. Man, it’s a tough one but luckily, I love it when I get rewarded with treats, so I should be getting the hang of it soon. As you can see, I like to please but sometimes I get carried away… so because of that, I would do best in a home with people who are comfortable handling a big, strong dog. No small children, please. I’d love to find a home that I can call my own ... forever!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters are carefully screened through our adoption process:

- If you're interested in an animal, we'll ask that you fill out a questionnaire, which we will review to ensure you and the dog you are interested in adopting are a good match.

- You will be asked to submit to a "home safety check" to determine the level of safety and adequacy of the area for the dog.

- An adoption fee is required and you must sign the adoption agreement, which ensures that if, for any reason, you are unable to keep the dog, he/she to be returned to Forte Animal Rescue only.

- Finally, we personally deliver your new family member to your home.

- Any additional donation would be greatly appreciated, and this portion will be tax-deductible. The donation goes to pay for all of the other animals in our care, many of which come to us with injuries or medical conditions that require treatment. Forte Animal Rescue survives solely on donations and it is for this reason that the adoption fee is nonnegotiable.

- Forte Animal Rescue reserves the right to cancel the adoption process at any time if the home situation or adoptive family has been misrepresented, if certain information was withheld, or if the dog is determined to be a better match with another family.
