Dogs in Rehabilitation
These very special pups are currently receiving the medical care they need before becoming available for adoption.
These dogs are safe with K9 Kismet Dog Rescue and surrounded by people who are committed to their healing. While they are not yet ready for adoption, we are actively addressing their medical needs and giving them the time and support they deserve.
We will continue to share updates as their journeys unfold. If you would like to learn more about either dog or support their care, please contact us at info@k9kismet.org.
Meet Ronan
A Second Chance for a Social Butterfly
Ronan arrived at Long Beach Animal Care Services in December in heartbreaking condition, with old fractures, an infected mass, and visible signs of past trauma. Through it all, he remained friendly, affectionate, and full of joy.
Now safe in foster care, this social butterfly is finally getting the love and medical support he deserves.
His Rehabilitation Journey
Support Ronan’s Journey
An orthopedic consult confirmed that surgery is not an option due to old bone remodeling, but the good news is that Ronan is walking comfortably and living happily with medical support. He will likely need lifelong monitoring and dental care to keep him feeling his best.
Ronan’s journey will take time and resources, and your support makes that possible.
Meet Buttons
A Second Chance
At just six weeks old, Buttons was brought to a veterinary clinic with a heartbreaking request: euthanasia. Her back legs were not functioning properly, making her “unfit for sale.”
A compassionate advocate at the clinic refused to let her story end there. With the support of rescue partners and a foster stepping forward, Buttons was given the second chance she deserved, and K9 Kismet was honored to welcome her into our care.
Her Journey
Loved and Supported
Buttons may not move like other puppies. Her back legs do not carry her, and they may never. But what she lacks in mobility, she more than makes up for in joy and resilience. She wiggles. She snuggles. She shines in every way that matters.
She is now safe and receiving the specialized medical care she needs. We do not yet know what her future holds, but we do know this: she will be loved, she will be cared for, and she will never be valued by a price tag again.
