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.

What's New at K9 kismet

Explore our social media to see the kinds of things we’re up to on the daily. We are constantly engaging with shelters, rescues, trainers, veterinarians, and even people in the community who just need help with their pets. It isn’t always easy, but it keeps us busy helping improve the world in our own little way…one dog at a time!

K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

📢 We’re happy to announce that Ezekiel is officially home!

Ezekiel’s happy ending is a direct result of an emergency medical foster and a long-term foster home flinging open their respective doors for an emaciated stray that arrived at the doorsteps of City of Long Beach Animal Care Services . With the shelter’s and fosters’ help during the first week of July, we were able to put together a plan to pull this nervous, hairless boy into rescue. Since then, he has healed from a URI, regained his sense of security, been neutered, fully vetted, and gotten back to a healthy weight, thanks to the nutritious meal donations we receive from Just Food For Dogs .

The long-term fosters decided to help Ezekiel in honor of their beloved Zia, a K9 Kismet alum whose life was tragically cut short by a rare auto-immune disease. As it goes sometimes, his fosters decided that Ezekiel (now named ⚡️Charlie⚡️) was the perfect addition to their pack and offered him permanent refuge alongside their two beautiful pups, Magi and Lucy.

Help us congratulate Charlie and his forever family by liking and commenting on this post! ♥️

Rescue is a team effort. As a foster-based rescue, we can’t offer a safety net to dogs needing rehabilitation without a home to put them in. If you’re inspired to be a part of a team that will never leave you hanging, fill out an application today.

You don’t have to take our word for it. Read first-hand accounts of what it’s like to partner with our small, but mighty rescue:

K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

🐾🏠Fosters make our work possible.

As a foster-based rescue, our primary need is short and long-term fosters. Fostering costs you nothing; we cover all expenses. We just ask you to provide a loving, temporary home for a dog in need of rescue while we work on getting them back on track to a forever home. 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.

In the foster application, you’ll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your expectations to us so that we can pair you with the right dog. Additionally, we’ll ask you to specify what level of commitment you’re able to make.

Join the team!

Fosters are the best people!

K9 Kismet -93- August 24 2019

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.

Panda3

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.
