A Different Kind of Foster
Dogs in our rescue who have terminal diagnoses or ongoing medical needs are welcomed into our Forever Foster program. These special foster families provide a loving home while K9 Kismet covers all medical care and supplies.
Together, we ensure each dog can live their remaining days in comfort, dignity, and peace.

Howie
Age 13 1/2 • Forever Foster • Joined K9 Kismet in 2026
We always knew Howie had a big heart.
We just didn’t know quite how big.
At around 13 1/2 years old, Howie is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves walks, car rides, dog friends and just about any adventure. He’s even been boating and thinks life on the water is pretty great.
Recently, we learned that Howie has a significantly enlarged heart. In fact, his vet told us it’s the biggest heart he’s ever seen.
That diagnosis changed Howie’s path, but it didn’t change Howie. He’ll remain with the foster family he already knows and loves as a K9 Kismet Forever Foster, while we continue to cover his medical care.
Howie is home, surrounded by love, and we’ll make sure his very big heart gets everything it needs.

A Quiet Commitment. A Big Impact.
Forever Fosters open their homes to dogs who need stability, patience, and medical support in their final chapter.
K9 Kismet covers all medical expenses, you provide the love, safety, and steady presence. It’s not always easy, but it is deeply meaningful. If you feel called to offer a senior dog comfort, dignity, and peace, we would love to talk with you.
