K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

8 hours ago

After what felt like an eternity of going unnoticed, Princess Lula’s fosters immediately saw her potential and got to work. The patience, guidance, and love they’ve given her has been, quite literally, life changing. Over time, we started to see the stress that comes with not knowing where she belonged in this world just wash away. Princess Lula is a lighter and happier dog than she’s ever been.

During a time when foster homes are few and far between, we don’t normally hope for our fosters to adopt; however, in this case, we crossed all our fingers and toes they would. When it’s right, it’s right. When Princess Lula’s fosters told us there was no way they could let her go, we had to pinch ourselves. To say we’re happy for her is the understatement of the century.

She’s a special dog who waited for special people to see that. This feeling is enough to fuel us for the next 989 days, which is how long Princess Lula waited for a forever home starting with the seven months of near total isolation at the shelter and ending with just over two years in rescue. When we pulled Princess Lula into the K9 Kismet pack, it was without a long-term plan. We did so because her life was in jeopardy, all the while knowing it would be a risk. When a long-term foster didn’t step forward, @k9kommittee was there for us. They cared for Princess Lula in their facility during the long stretches of time we didn’t have a suitable foster home and only billed us for a small fraction of what it would’ve cost anywhere else. Their generous partnership, along with the short- and long-term fosters who opened up their homes to her, and @justfoodfordogs for donating her nutritious food, helped us to save Princess Lula’s life.

Please join us in congratulating Lula, now known as Lola!

You may have noticed that our posts lately haven’t included Levi. We were hoping to make a long overdue adoption announcement this week, but unfortunately, it’s become a return-to-rescue sort of post. After 6.5 weeks, Levi seemed to feel the loss, but it wasn’t meant to be. We’re going to do our best to find him a true forever family so this becomes a distant memory. Dogs are resilient, and he’s no different.

Levi was dealing with separation anxiety in the home, but he’s in great hands with his temp foster who is an experienced dog trainer and ready to do the work while we put together a long-term plan. We have high hopes for Levi the Lovebug. After all, he’s never met a human he didn’t immediately want to know.

Follow #K9KismetLevi for updates on his rescue journey.

“I came into this room for a reason…!” 🫠

The one thing Clark never forgets is that he’s looking for an adopter. It’s tough out there for these seniors. After 6 months in the shelter and now 26 months in foster care, he can’t help feeling a little forgotten.
