What do you do when, ordinarily, you can afford to care for your dog but something tragic happens? Imagine your beloved dog gets hit by a car and lives but now needs surgery costing thousands of dollars you don’t have. Imagine there was a freak accident at the groomer where your dog inhaled water and needed critical, round the clock care at a specialty vet to clear the acute onset pneumonia… but you can’t afford it. Imagine your dog’s body is fighting itself creating crystals blocking the urethra and your dog can’t urinate, is in pain, and starts to crash – the vet tells you the treatment is more than you have in your bank account and requires up-front payment because it’s now an emergency. These dogs, when funds are available, become K9 Kismet Amigos. After the family has paid whatever they can, we step in and pay for ALL of the remaining medical care the dog needs without taking the decision of care away from the families. We don’t require them to sign the dog over to K9 Kismet. We don’t require them to pay back any of the medical care costs. We don’t require them to provide future volunteer support. The help comes with no strings attached.

When you’re in crisis mode just trying to save your beloved dog from death, money should not be a determining factor. When we can ease that burden, we do; allowing the family to focus their energy on loving their pet and giving the pet a fighting chance to live. This program is completely reliant on the tax deductible donations from supporters like you.
