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.

We love October because it’s National Pit Bull Awareness Month! It’s hard to find a breed of dog that is more affectionate, tolerant, and loyal. #IYKYK …and if you don’t know, you’re missing out.
These dog's are lovely wee souls, its the bad owner's who give the breed a bad name, sadly.❤️❤️🏴

We are thrilled to announce our girl Idgie Furgood has been ADOPTED! Idgie, now known as Ouzo, already had a relationship with her adopters because they’ve been fans since she first entered the shelter system. Her adopters wanted Ouzo to be a part of their family from the start, but they needed help integrating her into their existing pack. After several successful pack walks and supervised time in their yard, Ouzo’s adopters were ready to make it official. A big thank you to Ouzo’s fosters for stepping up to give her a safe place when she needed one most. Saying YES! to fostering gave her the #secondchance she needed to live her best life with her forever family. Happy life, little one! We love you! Interested in helping a dog like Ouzo? Please consider becoming a K9 Kismet foster. To learn more, please visit: www.k9kismet.org/foster
