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.

Clark’s celebrating today’s suture removal by having us throw that satellite-dish-sized cone into the nearest burn pit. (🤫 Don’t tell him that there’s no such ecologically unfriendly pit. It’ll be in storage for the next unwitting victim.) Even better than vanquished sutures are biopsy results that decree Clark is in the clear. His lumps were of the lipoma (benign fatty mass) and the could-be-worse, very low grade mast cell variety. With clear margins in the bag, Clark is free to be carefree again. #k9kismetclark #sutureremoval #rescuedog #seniorpittie #rescuedogsofinstagram

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.
