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.

K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

Meet Popcorn (aka Poppy) – a 2.5-year-old lovebug with a smile as big as her heart. She first caught attention when she was picked up as a stray—with her head stuck in an empty snack jug. It was a snack-tastrophe that perfectly captured her goofy charm and passion for all things yummy. Since that unforgettable moment, Popcorn has become the ultimate underdog success story.

Popcorn spent six long months in the shelter, waiting and hoping. Even after developing a limp, she never lost her spark. She needed two major knee surgeries (bilateral TPLO) to walk and play without pain. Thanks to the incredible support of her fosters, Friends of Long Beach Animals, Dr. Courtney Campbell, the team at Stitches Veterinary Surgery, and generous donors, Popcorn was able to receive the care she needed. Now fully healed, she is ready for her next big chapter: a forever home.

A few reasons to love Popcorn:

⭐️ Super affectionate and snuggly

⭐️ Smart, playful, and treat-motivated

⭐️ Learns new things quickly

⭐️ Good with other dogs

⭐️ House-trained & crate-trained

⭐️ Silly in all the best ways

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, fun-loving sidekick, Popcorn might be your perfect match. To learn more and apply to adopt visit: www.k9kismet.org

🐰Earlier this month, the Easter Bunny made a special appearance at Zoom Room Dog Training, and he did not disappoint. The photos speak for themselves!

We’re so grateful for the support we received through Zoom Room Long Beach’s donation drive❣️ Every dollar contributed helps us rescue and care for dogs still searching for their forever families. Additional thanks to those who also supported our friends at City of Long Beach Animal Care Services with much-needed shelter supplies. Your generosity makes a real difference for dogs in need throughout our community.

Here’s to happy tails and hoppy endings! 🐾🏡

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.

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.
