The little rescue with a big heart
K9 Kismet believes in the ideology of quality over quantity. Our primary mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving, permanent homes for homeless dogs; primarily dogs in shelters at-risk of euthanasia and dogs whose owners can no longer care for them. We believe in compassionate rescues where we know the dog is on borrowed time and likely to be overlooked or deemed less adoptable due to age, health, emotional state or breed. We ensure all animals we take into our rescue, regardless of individual needs, are cared for with love and compassion for the duration of their lives. Our secondary mission is to help pets stay in their homes by offering pet owners assistance, when funds allow, with medical care, food and other supplies.

Today’s 12 Days of Giving: Forever Home Edition Spotlight goes to #specialneeds senior Travis Barker! Travis Barker is a brave little man who has been on the mend since coming into the shelter in early June. He has overcome obstacles due to neglect, but his spirit remains intact. Travis Barker is blind and deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying his leisurely, daily strolls and his spurts of happy, playful episodes that have him rolling around in his blankets. He loves his naps almost as much as he loves cuddling with people. He’s affectionate and is happiest when he’s sitting on the couch snuggled up to someone. Travis Barker seems to appreciate every kindness shown to him. He’s a daily reminder of how resilient dogs really are. Travis Barker is looking for a forever family that will be patient with him as he learns to navigate his new surroundings. This special needs boy is currently being fostered and is available for meet-and-greets by appointment. Name: Travis Barker Stray Intake: 6/10/23 Age: 12 years Available for adoption at Long Beach Animal Care Services Long Beach, CA 90815 For more information email: AnimalRescue@longbeach.gov
Heading there to drop off a load of blankets for the pups !!! I’ll stop by him and give’em some love.
Today’s 12 Days of Giving: Forever Home Edition Spotlight goes to Flintstone! Flintstone is a senior fellow who steals the hearts of everyone who meets him. You’ve been warned. He’s a "stop to the smell the roses" kind of guy who is looking for someone to cuddle up to. His foster says he’s a "love bug who just wants to love and be loved." Playful, curious, praise- and treat-motivated, Flintstone would make a wonderful addition to any home … without a cat. Somewhere in his past life, a cat did him wrong so he’s on edge around them. At least, that’s the working theory. He may not be good around cats, but he makes up for it by being good in the car. If you need a road dog, Flintstone wants to meet you. He’s currently being fostered and is available for meet-and-greets by appointment. Name: Flintstone Shelter Intake: 9/24/23 Age: 10 years @lbanimalcare Available for adoption at Long Beach Animal Care Services Long Beach, CA 90815 For more information email: dogfoster@longbeach.gov #12daysofgiving #petsarefamily #adoptashelterdog #untilthesheltersareempty #doitfordiesel
