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 told Princess Lula about all the generous people sharing her last video. If you haven’t seen it, please check it out. This smile will be a permanent fixture on her face if we can finally find a long-term foster or foster-to-adopter.

✔️5 years young
✔️spayed
✔️healthy
✔️good on leash
✔️house trained
✔️crate trained
✔️quick learner
✔️affectionate

💔She’s been enduring 18 months of limbo between the shelter and now boarding. She’s ready to start truly living again.

Want to meet this beautiful girl? Fill out a foster or adoption app and let’s get a meet-and-greet on the books.

Princess Lula lives for rainy days like this. Her rain-induced hops have been activated yet again! Lula is ALSO living for the day that she gets to have an actual home, and a special human to share happy moments like this with.

With the exception of a handful of weeks here and there, Lula has been living in a kennel since November of 2021. It started with being surrendered to a packed shelter where she spent many months in a small kennel with only a skylight to remind her of the outside world. Imagine the hopelessness that set in. When we pulled her into the rescue in June of 2022, it was out of desperation because she needed immediate reprieve. We acted hastily for the sake of her sanity and safety. Like many foster-based rescues, we rely on foster homes. We dared to hope that a long-term foster would show up for her, but they never did.

We made her a promise and haven’t been able to deliver. She needs a break and, quite frankly, so does our bank account. Boarding may be a vast improvement to that of a county shelter, but she was never supposed to put down roots in another facility.

So, let’s discuss: What’s this good girl gotta do to catch a break? Do we need to get some of those pre-recorded speech buttons that all the cool dogs are using these days? Do you want to hear it straight from her? She will wear out these buttons: 🔘HOME … 🔘WANT … 🔘NOW … 🔘PLEASE ❕

You don’t have to have a wide-open schedule for the next handful months to be a foster. We will work around your vacation schedule.

You don’t have to pay anything out of pocket to be a foster. We cover all expenses.

You don’t have to live in a big place with a backyard to be a foster. We want to remind you that right now Princess Lula lives in a confined space that makes all those “cozy” rentals out there look like Downton Abbey.

You don’t have to be a veteran foster or dog whisperer. We will provide all the training and support you’ll need.

Don’t make us go door-to-door with Princess Lula so she can repeatedly push a 🔘HELP button. Please help in any way you can.
