The little rescue with a big heart

Our primary mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving, permanent homes for homeless dogs, specifically dogs in shelters at-risk of euthanasia and dogs whose owners can no longer care for them. We believe in compassionate rescue when the dog is enduring inhumane living conditions or likely to be deemed less adoptable due to age, health, emotional state, or breed. We ensure that all the dogs we take into our rescue, regardless of individual needs, are cared for with love and compassion for the duration of their lives.

K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

Meet Lorelei. Give her the gift of home this holiday season by adopting, fostering, or (if you are part of a rescue organization with an open spot) bringing her into your pack. Let’s work together to find Lorelei the loving home she truly deserves.

Lorelei is a beautiful 2.5-year-old, spayed female GSD-Siberian Husky mix. She presents as timid and skittish in her kennel, but once outside of it, she warms up to people rather quickly. Unfortunately, most people walking through the shelter aren’t going to know that about her since she typically does her best to hide in the shadows. Little does she know, that light-colored eye betrays her every time.

While in a temp foster home, Lorelei proved she can seamlessly transition from playful fun to relaxed cuddles. Lorelei spent time in a home with kids and was a great companion. Once she feels comfortable, Lorelei’s a quick learner and takes direction well. At the shelter, she is a doggie playgroup favorite. She would do well as a member of a pack that is also active and playful.

If Lorelei speaks to you and you’re in a position to foster until she is fully decompressed and adopted, we want to hear from you! As a reminder, fostering is free! We cover all expenses. We also provide the training support and education you’ll need to succeed. Let us know you’d be willing to open your heart and home to this dog in need by submitting a foster application through our website: www.k9kismet.org.

Always a big supporter of the community’s dogs, @zoomroomlb in Long Beach, California is sponsoring Lorelei’s adoption fee, and offering adopters a free assessment, and one free private training session! In addition to that, we are teaming up with @friendsoflongbeachanimals to send her home with a care package, complete with a collar, leash, bed, blanket, Kong, treats, and poop bags.

🎉Update: Lorelei was adopted today! ❤️‍🩹

🙏🙏

Please join us in welcoming our newest pack member, Missy (LBACS #A476755).

On 11/24/2024 this sweet senior was picked up as a stray in Long Beach, CA. When the team @lbanimalcare ran her microchip, they learned that she briefly stayed with them as a pup 12 years ago. Missy’s “owners” redeemed her back in 2012, but when the shelter reached out to them this time around they denied even knowing her. Leaving Missy, a 13-year-old with mobilty issues without a home for the holidays. 🤬

The shelter is a tough environment for any dog, but a cold, hard kennel floor is especially difficult for a 13 -year-old with medical needs (stiff gait, hindlimb weakness/ataxia, cutaneous masses and mild incontinence). If you follow us you know that senior dogs have always had a special place in our hearts. While Missy wasn’t a dog we had planned to feature in our Give the Gift of Home 12 Day focus, when the shelter put out a rescue plea for this lovely, vintage lady, we knew we wanted to help. First we’d needed to find her a long-term foster. As it would turn out, Missy was already working on that part. 😉

Thanks to a big-hearted shelter volunteer (and her family), Missy will have the opportunity to live out her days on a comfy bed in a warm home surrounded by people who love her.

Missy will see our vet next week for a full evaluation. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help us keep Missy comfortable, we would be very grateful.

Foster

As a foster-based rescue, our primary need is short and long-term fosters. Fostering costs you nothing; we cover all expenses. Whether you’re a seasoned foster who can handle some of our toughest cases, or a first-timer looking to ease into the process, we want to hear from you.

Adopt

By providing a forever home for a dog in rescue, you're helping to free up a foster home, which allows us to help another dog in need. The dogs in our care are fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered (unless medically waived), microchipped, and receive regular wellness exams, preventative treatment, specialty care as needed. If you’re interested in meeting a K9 Kismet pack member, please fill out the adoption application to begin the process.

donate

As a 100% volunteer-run organization, your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the dogs in our care. It provides funds for everything from life saving surgeries to ID tags. Every dollar has purpose and is put to work for the dogs we serve. Help us say yes to the next dog in need.
