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.

EMERGENCY TEXT FROM BEAN: URGENT!!! New foster mom forgot breakfast. She keeps mumbling something about ‘an ultrasound’ but IDK what that has to do with ME STARVING. I’m weak. I’m fading. I saw a squirrel and didn’t even care. Please send snacks. Or a lawyer. Or both. Bean is hangry, and only slightly dramatic, because she had to skip breakfast so she could have an ultrasound this afternoon. The bill is $650. Can you chip in a dollar to help us with Bean’s medical expenses (and maybe a fry or two)?

Remember Arthur? 👑 When his legs began to falter, his spirit didn’t. And neither did his mom. She made sure that even as his body slowed, his heart stayed full of joy, freedom, and adventure. He is still learning his way, but with her love and a brand-new chariot, Arthur is moving forward with grace, curiosity, and that same royal charm we all adore. Loving a senior dog means embracing every stage with unwavering devotion. Arthur’s mom is that kind of love. We are cheering you on, Arthur. 🛞💖 #K9KismetArthur #k9kismetalumni
The K9 Kismet Team will be @lbanimalcare this Friday for their Foster the 4th Kick-Off Open House Event! If you’ve been thinking about fostering, now’s the time. Stop by, say "hi", meet some amazing dogs, ask questions, sign up to help! Hope to see you there! Long Beach Animal Care Services 7700 E Spring St. Date: Friday, June 20th Reposted from @lbanimalcare – The Fourth of July is right around the corner! While it’s a time of celebration for us, with vacations, BBQs, and fireworks, it can be terrifying for our furry friends. 😢 Every year, shelters see a huge increase in lost and frightened dogs due to fireworks and holiday commotion. Our shelter is already preparing for the influx, and we need your help to make room by temporarily placing some of our long-stay dogs into loving foster homes. 🏡 We’re asking for a short, 4-week foster commitment. LBACS will provide all medical care and basic supplies, you just provide the love and a safe space. 🎉 Join us for our Foster the Fourth Kick-Off Event! ⏰ 4 PM – 7 PM Come browse our dogs available for foster and get matched with a temporary best friend! Be ready to take a pup home that same day. 🐾 Can’t make the open house? We’re also offering appointment-only foster match days: 🐶 Tuesday, June 24th and Tuesday, July 1st 11 AM – 2 PM Have questions? Contact us at petfoster@longbeach.gov Let’s work together to make space, reduce stress, and keep tails wagging this Fourth of July. Thank you for being a hero to shelter pets! ❤️🐾

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.
