	CLAY Rescued from being chained up in a backyard. Clay-man is now in the most amazing forever home with the most amazing and loving couple who have re-named him Kalei (sounds almost like Clay but “Ka- Ley” is how it is pronounced) which fittingly means, The Beloved, in Hawaiian. Clay lives in a beautiful house right on the water in the Venice Canals. He is SO happy and SO loved. Ron and Rhonda, his new owners just adore him and Ron works from home, so he is rarely alone. He is taken on long runs every day and taken for long walks on the beach. He seems so relaxed and content.
	COOPER Rescued from the South LA Shelter. Thank you for coming to Cooper's rescue and bringing him into our lives. He instantly became a member of our family and brings joy and laughter to us every day.
	NELLIE Rescued from the shelter. We want to thank you for letting us adopt Nellie. She is so full of love, she walks on the leash like she was born to, she minds us, has no messes in the house and we both just love her with all of our hearts. If I had to pick a perfect dog it would be Nellie. We took her with us on vacation to Coronado, CA and she was perfect. Thank you very much!
	BELLA Rescued from the Shelter. She is so happy and brings me so much happiness!
	RUSTY Rescued from the Shelter. "Thank you again for our wonderful Shorty (since renamed from Rusty). He loves the beach and has so much fun with his pal and broker, Ian. He has also been camping in our truck camper in June Lake/Silver Lake area in June/"
	BELLA Rescued from the SLA Shelter as a puppy with pneumonia. Now happily living in Malibu. "I fell in love with Bella the first time I saw her and knew she had to be a part of our family. I love her unique personality! She is independent, sassy and loving all rolled into one perfect little bundle. She brings so much love and joy to our lives. Thanks, Linzi!"
	KC Rescued from the SLA Shelter at the eleventh hour with multiple untreated fractures. "We are so happy to have KC as part of our family. He was a gift for my daughter Cameron's 9th birthday, but has turned out to be a gift to the entire family. He is such a bright light. He is fearless, loving and such a happy little guy! It is so cute to watch him with our kitten. They wrestle around like puppies. He gets along great with our 3 year-old dog, Snowy, and out recent puppy addition, Bella."
	ROCKY Rescued from a terrible home. "Rocky was absolutely meant to come into our lives. He's the perfect dog for us and we are the perfect owners for him.

	BAXTER
	LILY Thrown from a van in the San Fernando Valley and survived Parvo. "Lily is doing great! She has such personality. She loves her doggie beds and sleeps either in my oldest daughter's room, my room or downstairs (during the day). She is eating really well and loves her walks and the "doggie park" on the bluffs. She doesn't seem to miss her sister as she gets so much attention from all of us. She is protective of the kids and seems to be attached to all of us. She is just perfect for our family. We love her so much. I think she really loves her new home."

We feel very lucky that we found her and were able to give her a good home. You are incredible for what you do and we will never forget you. Please tell the lady that rescued Lilly that we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for our baby. P.S. Lilly and Daisy are starting to play together, sooo cute!!!"
	COCO Rescued from the streets of La Puente. “When we met Coco, we knew instantly that she was meant to join our family. She quickly bonded with us and our other dogs. She is such a good, affectionate dog and she has truly enriched our lives. We all love her so much!”
	BILLY Rescued from a miserable life on an apartment balcony. “Having a dog in my life gives me perspective about what truly matters in this world and reminds me to live in the moment. Dogs are natural yoga masters! I learn something from him everyday! Caring for a creature that loves you back unconditionally and without judgment (like only a dog can) is without match. I feel very lucky to have the chance to host this fine, pure spirit for his time here on earth.”
	NELSON Left at a vet's office after being dropped off by a homeless family. “Oh, my goodness yes he's a beloved dog. Bob's crazy about him too - You were so right: he's the perfect dog for us. And he gets better every day - he never played when he first arrived and now he grabs a toy and races through the house with it.”
	NINA Rescued as a stray downtown. "Nina is funny and loving. A true character who has brought a new lease on life to her mate Louie the Lip. She is mad for sticks, pods and leaves. She is a great joy. Thank you for this crazy gift of a girl."
	LOUIS Rescued with his siblings and mom as a stray in Hacienda Heights. "Louis is a dream. He sits, stays, shakes (two different paws), and 'down.' He is the smartest dog in the world. Louis is amazing. WE are all soooo happy together. Best to you and The Forgotten Dog Foundation!”

	CLOVER Rescued with siblings, including brother Louis and mom, off the street. "Adopting Clover was one of the best decisions we ever made, and we weren't even looking for a dog! We were just going to the farmer's market to get strawberries. She has added so much joy to our family and she seems to thank us every day for rescuing her. We love her so much and she loves her family and our other dog."
	TOOTSIE Rescued from the shelter. "Tootsie completed our family. She is a wonderfully trusting and loving companion. We are most amazed that she had never growled or uttered a hostile sound. She's a gentle soul. We are blessed."
	KIP Rescued as a stray. "Kip is a total cuddle bunny, sleeps with me every night and he and Mia are the best of friends. He's such a momma's boy - he starts going nuts when he hears my car pull up outside. LOL He really is the SWEETEST little thing ever and I absolutely adore him.”
	BAILEY Relinquished with siblings from backyard breeder. "Bailey literally picked us when my daughter Kelsey and I drove to a Forgotten Dog adoption event in Pacific Palisades to check out another dog, Violet (who totally ignored us)! In four months she has taken over my life and I wouldn't have it any other way...from the first day she has proved herself to be smart, attentive and eager to please. I have not had a dog since I was a teenager and now I couldn't imagine my life without my sweet Bay! Thanks so much for making the whole adoption process a delight Linzi!”
	BODIE Rescued with siblings and mom from the street. “Bodie is like my daughter's little sister. Bodie loves to go on hikes and car rides, but her favorite place in the world is the beach. We love her and feel incredibly lucky to have her as part of our family.”
	MADDIE Rescued from the shelter as a puppy. “Maddie has become an integral part of our family in a very short time and has captured our hearts with her gentle spirit and loving personality. She is a very special doggie and we are so very blessed that she chose us as her new family.”
	DAISY Rescued on her way into the Santa Monica shelter. “One ‘happy family’ is what a friend said. Sasha and Daisy play all the time. And Niko and she sleep on each other. They give each other kisses and we just love her. Thank you.”
	DANNY Rescued at the eleventh hour from the shelter. “I only hope that I've made Danny as extraordinarily happy as he has made me. Here's what I sing to him: 'You were meant for me. I was meant for you. Nature patterned you, and when she was done, you were all the sweet things rolled up in one... The angels must have sent you, and they meant you just for me.' Of course Danny may think this singing is a bit nutty - but I mean every word. So to The Forgotten Dog Foundation, I say a resounding THANK YOU.”
	HONU Dumped at Griffith Park and left to fend for herself. Now living the good life in Santa Barbara with Wally Siewert and his wife. “Honu has taught us the true meaning of adopting a dog, we realize that we had the story wrong. Instead, it is not the dog who is the luckiest, we have turned out to be the luckiest dog parents in the world. She is a dream to have and we want to thank you so much for allowing us to adopt her.

	DAKOTA Dakota was to be euthanized within a day at the shelter. Rescued and now loved and adored by forever mom Laura. “When I lost my beloved dog Sam a few years ago, I thought I needed time to recover before adopting another friend. So, after a year, I signed up on Linzi's email list for dog fosters. I decided to foster Dakota for a week, but as soon as she smiled at me (it's true, she smiles!) she won my heart right away. It's been 3 years now, and she brings me joy and friendship every day. I am so grateful to Linzi for bringing her into my life, and for the tireless work she does to help these precious animals. A rescue dog is a special dog indeed.”
