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.

On Wednesday, our sweet Arthur underwent surgery to remove several small masses and receive a full dental cleaning. As expected, his teeth were in pretty bad shape, and after a thorough examination, our vet discovered he had 11 teeth that needed to be extracted. Our little guy was a trooper, and we’re thrilled to report that the surgery went smoothly. Arthur is up and about, feeling good!

Thanks to your amazing support, we’ve raised $1,120 of the $1,500 needed for his surgery. If you’d like to help us with the remaining balance, a donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated. Remember, all donations are tax-deductible!

You do you, Isabel! 😍

It is the Frenchie. Definitely the Frenchie. Attitude and does not play well with others. The rest are friendly but the Frenchie is plotting which one to take out first. πŸ’―πŸ˜πŸ‘

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.

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.
