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.

• @carson_dogs4u Ivy #A5540199 🥰🥰❤️💔

Heartbreakingly she spent 15 months at LBACS only to be finally redlisted, adopted & then somehow arrived at Carson ACC shortly thereafter on March 15th. The request to transport her back was denied by LBACS due to their continued overcapacity. We’re desperately networking for her. This girl had clearly not had the best life initially, spent over a year at LBACS, had one brief moment out of the shetler only to end up at another shelter.

Ivy A5540199 (INTACT) greeted the runner with a relaxed body, soft eyes, a neutral tail wag and an open mouth with a soft pant. She was easy to remove and strongly pulled on leash. In the catch pen when she was introduced to the dogs her body was tense, her eyes were focused, her mouth was closed and her tail was stiff. She was muzzled prior to entering the yard for the safety of the dogs. She entered and was tense during the greetings. Her body was forward and stiff, her eyes were focused, her mouth was closed and her tail was stiff. When one of the dogs approached her and sniffed her she pinned him to the floor and ground. The handlers quickly intervened and she walked away. She explored the yard but would tense up anytime any dog passed by her. She removed her muzzle and was removed from the yard. Overall Ivy was selective of the dogs and does not have a playstyle at this time.

BEHAVIORALLY OK FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION, MIDDLE SCHOOL AGED (REC), NO OTHER DOGS (REQ)💖

Foster

Join our team of volunteers to help us train, rehabilitate, and foster the most needy animals. Every dog fostered provides the opportunity to rescue another. We provide the food and medical assistance; you provide the love and care!

Adopt

Provide a forever home for one of our wonderful dogs. From the moment we pull a dog off the streets or from the shelter, our dream is for them to end up with a loving family of their own. Rescue pets make the best pets!
