“This work is about giving dogs a safe and dignified life, especially when they have nowhere else to go.”

Viviana Soldano FaBrizio has built something rare. As founder of Amore for Dogs, she leads with instinct and heart for the animals in her care. This work isn’t something you do halfway. As a founder, FaBrizio trusts her gut when it comes to decision-making, especially when the well-being of the dogs is at stake. That connection and commitment guide everything.

What inspires her most is witnessing transformation. When a dog arrives from a difficult situation and slowly begins to trust again, it never gets old. That quiet shift, from fear to safety, is what drives everything this Power Player does and reminds her daily why this work matters.

Her guiding philosophy is equally grounded. FaBrizio believes in leading with purpose and staying true to it, even when circumstances are hard. In a nonprofit field that is evolving, consistency, compassion and doing what is right are the principles she returns to.

There is growing awareness that not every dog fits a standard adoption model, and with that comes a greater need for sanctuary environments focused on long-term care and genuine quality of life. This Power Player has positioned Amore for Dogs at the forefront of that shift. Her platform is used deliberately, to bring awareness, connect people to meaningful work and create space for others to get involved. Whether sharing the organization’s story, encouraging support or educating the community, the goal is always impact over visibility.

When asked where she goes to unwind, her answer is simple. FaBrizio is happiest with the dogs. That is where she feels most grounded, most present and most at home in the work she has built her life around.
