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

Levi is an accomplished cuddler. If there’s a lap, he will find a way to be on it. This former emaciated stray turned healthy snuggle king is a part-time ball enthusiast and a full-time good boy. Levi is versatile. Whether it’s napping like a rock, enjoying car rides, or joining you for a walk or Netflix binge, he is always ready for his close-up! Levi is house & crate trained and has done well with other dogs (after proper intros). He could share the spotlight with another easy-going dog or be a solo act. He has experience with both roles.

BONUS: Levi trained with the renowned @robertvillaneda which means when you adopt him, you’ll receive a personalized training session with one of California’s best. Score!

Want to make this superstar a part of your family? Apply to adopt at: www.k9kismet.org.

When you realize it’s Monday but you’re still in weekend mode.

Over the past few months, Popcorn has spent a lot of time in her crate (rocking the cone life) while recovering from bilateral TPLO surgeries. After a glowing check-up, she’s finally cone-free and loving her newfound freedom—but she hasn’t lost her passion for lounging!

Popcorn is just about ready to start accepting adoption applications. This sweet, 2.5 year old, dog-friendly gal is as lovable as they come, so if you’re looking to add a new member to your family, you might want to get ahead of the game. To learn more about Popcorn and apply to adopt, please visit: www.k9kismet.org/adoptable-dogs

If you’re in the Long Beach/LA/OC area (or nearby), and you have space in your heart and home to help a dog like Popcorn heal and get ready for their forever home, please consider fostering for K9 Kismet. Fostering costs you nothing—we cover ALL expenses. We just ask for a loving, temporary home while we work together to help these dogs find their forever families. Whether you’re a seasoned foster or a first-timer looking to get started, we’d love to hear from you!

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.

Panda3

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.
