For Viviana Soldano FaBrizio, the work was never just about rescue. It was about what comes after.
Born and raised in Genova, Italy, Viviana grew up surrounded by fashion through her father, designer Sergio Soldano. That early exposure led her into modeling at a young age, working internationally across Europe, Japan, and Canada, and building a career that included editorial work, campaigns, and fitness competition at a national level.
But today, her focus is somewhere else entirely.
Through her nonprofit, Amore for Dogs, Viviana has built a sanctuary-centered environment designed for long-term care, stability, and rehabilitation. The work is not about quick outcomes or volume. It’s about giving dogs a safe, consistent place to live—especially those who may not fit into a traditional adoption model.
That distinction matters.
“Not every dog fits into a traditional model,” she says. “Some need more time, some need more care, and some simply need a place where they can feel safe.”
Over the years, she has seen firsthand how complex these situations can be. Some dogs arrive with behavioral challenges, others with medical needs, and many require a level of patience and consistency that goes beyond short-term solutions. For some, adoption is possible. For others, the sanctuary becomes their permanent home.
In 2019, Viviana and her husband, Bruce FaBrizio, purchased property in Orange County, California, with plans to further develop a dedicated dog sanctuary. That long-term vision continues to shape the direction of Amore for Dogs today.
The organization supports medical care, training, and rehabilitation, while continuing to build an environment centered on stability and quality of life. It’s a quieter model, but one that reflects the reality of the work.
What sets Viviana apart is how involved she remains. This is not a passive effort. It’s something she is engaged in daily, from oversight to care to the ongoing growth of the sanctuary.
At its core, the mission is simple: provide safety, provide consistency, and provide care.
And for Viviana Soldano FaBrizio, that’s the work that matters.
