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.

Chuck: What does a good boy need to do to find a forever family? Us: Excellent question, buddy. 🤔 This happy three-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix loves people and has done well with other dogs (cats are an unknown). He is crate-trained, house-trained, and easy on the leash. He is highly treat motivated, knows his basic commands, and is a quick learner. He enjoys hanging out with his people, playing with toys, hiking, and learning to swim. If you’re looking for an active, fun, affectionate dog (he’s also all about the cuddles), Chuck is the one for you. Want to meet Chuck in person? Pit Bull Appreciation Day 10am to 3pm Long Beach, CA Interested in adopting? Visit www.k9kismet.org today to fill out an application! Have questions?

🚨 URGENT COURTESY POST 🚨 Handsome Harlan is still looking for a forever home. This 5-6 month old male labrador/hound puppy was pulled out of a bad situation by a good Samaritan with the hopes of finding him a better life. The Good Samaritan can’t keep him much longer, so Harlan needs to find a new home ASAP. Here is what Harlan’s temporary guardian has to say about him… "He is sweet, gentle, and a very quick learner. He is good around small children and animals. He currently lives with an 8 year old child, a 7lb Yorker, and an elderly cat. He does great in many new and different situations as I have had to have him babysat often due to my heavy work schedule. He is housetrained. Enjoys walks, playing fetch, playing with toys, going to the beach, being around other people and animals. He does fantastic when he’s playing on his own in our yard and can keep himself entertained." Harlan is fully vaccinated and microchipped. He is not neutered yet, but his temporary guardian is willing to take care of that before he is rehomed. If you are interested in adopting Harlan, please message us here or email us at admin@k9kismet.org so we can put you in touch with his guardian. Harlan is a big baby who deserves a loving family. Please help us help Harlan find his forever home.
Where is Harlan?
This handsome pooch needs a hero! Please, someone, take Harlan home!

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.
