My story

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


Nikko is an old soul in a young dog's body; he is so sweet and extremely loving he just cannot have enough. All this poor guy asks from you is to give him much love & affection to feel safe, and not to be let down again by another human to whom he opens his heart to trusting. This sweetheart has been wronged by humans subjecting him to a life of hell and almost death. His spirit and heart having been broken before, he now clings to the one who is caring for him and showing compassion and love. It is time for the right person to give this guy the love he needs and deserves - a forever loving home! Someone who will play with him, throwing the ball for him, taking him on hikes and to the park. Nikko loves car rides and feeling the wind in his face. He loves running and would be a great companion for an active person who runs, bikes, skateboards, or roller-blades.

He is perfect for someone who works from home and wants a quiet, well-behaved companion… he prefers this and not to be left alone for long. A great dog to walk, he is obedient and stays by your side following commands. One cannot ask for a better loving companion and a perfect house dog, but he can be protective if not introduced. He has shown no aggression in my home and is friendly to those who come to visit with an introduction. He is easy to fall in love with, he is a special, smart, calm and delightful, loving boy, a boy you will love having as a part of your family.

[Nikko is 8 years old and weighs 63 lbs.]

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.
