News and Events

November '10

The last four months were full of highlights for us at FORTE. A few are summarised below for your reading pleasure.

Our beloved Mica who had been with us way too long – 3 years! – finally found her new forever home and now lives on a farm in Colorado with many other animals as her new best mates. Desmond got adopted, too, and he enjoys hanging out and playing with his new little sister, Grace. And a young couple fell in love with Dozer, a Bully Breed. They adopted him in the record time of less than a month since he had joined our Outreach program. 

Pourtal Wine Tasting Bar in Santa Monica offered a great opportunity to donate money to FORTE while enjoying drinks and live music during their Happy Hour. This was a great little event, and everyone who  came along had a great time! We wish to repeat in similar form in the not-too-distant future. Watch out for announcements on our website, Facebook and on Twitter. 
 
FORTE friends and volunteers proudly strutted their mutts during Strut Your Mutt 2010. We’ve raised over $3,400 – thanks to everyone who helped us in our efforts!


Of course, we also celebrated Halloween – SingularCity-style. Dorothy, a professional psychic, did readings for the party guests who wanted to know more about their future – with all proceeds going to FORTE. Thank you, SingularCity and Dorothy!

Needless to say, we’ve welcomed some new dogs into our group. Cookie is a sweet young rat terrier mix who would make a perfect housepet - other small dogs are no problem for her. Lucky was surrendered to the pound when his family lost their home, and the great news is – he’s already found a new loving home! Other dogs who found new families include Edgar who stole his foster mum’s heart, Mia who came to us through our Outreach program, and Dexter who featured in the LA times Unleashed section.

And finally, our founder, Marie Atake, has been busy publishing dog-related articles on the Examiner, with the latest three being:

Article about dog rescuing versus dog breeding
Article about dogs and people in urban societies
Article about dogs and toddlers

News: Maggiano's Fundraiser a success! Read about it (pdf).
Thanks to everyone that came out to our first fundraiser at Maggiano's! It was a fun evening for all but more importantly, your participation helped build awareness of our organization and helped raise funds to help save many dogs that would otherwise have no hope. View event photos here.

Meet some of our supporters

We love the creative ways people pitch in to help Forte Animal Rescue. Ruby and Carmela made pillows called "huggies" and contributed all their proceeds to Forte Animal Rescue. Thanks ladies!

Meet some of our donors.
