K9 Kismet Dog Rescue

Based in Long Beach, CA our primary mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving, permanent homes for homeless dogs. K9 Kismet is an all-breed rescue.

We believe in compassionate rescues where we know the dog is on borrowed time and likely to be overlooked or deemed less adoptable due to age, health, emotional state or breed. We ensure all animals we take into our rescue, regardless of individual needs, are cared for with love and compassion for the duration of their lives.

Super senior K9 Kismet Missy is dressed to impress and ready to tippy-tap her way into the new year.

As another spin around the sun comes to a close, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank YOU, our fosters, volunteers, partners, donors, and advocates for your continued support. We would have never survived the rollercoaster ride known as 2024 without you. 🎢 🤪

Happy New Year, rescue family! We hope 2025 brings you each the opportunity to happy dance with the ones you love most.

If you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation to a charity before 2024 is a wrap, please consider our small but mighty organization. 🫶🏼

We’re hoping Missy starts to feel better very soon. How sweet it is for her to be in a foster home where she can be closely monitored and get the moral support she needs to heal.

Forever Fosters Missy and Cody have been needing some extra love in the form of vet visits and cuddles.

When we pulled Missy from the shelter earlier this month she had symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. X-rays done at her first vet appointment confirmed pneumonia. Her blood work looks really good for a 13-year-old gal, but her urinalysis showed she's also battling a urinary tract infection. We got her started on antibiotics for both infections and we are happy to report she is responding well to treatment.

Cody, our 5 lb blind 14-year-old senior, has also been battling a urinary track infection. He recently started a second course of antibiotics. Thankfully, treatment appears to be giving him some much needed relief.

With the help of donors like you, we’ve been able to give the gift of home to hundreds of dogs. For senior dogs like Missy and Cody, our Forever Foster Program takes it one step further, providing for a dog’s needs during his or her last chapter.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us cover the costs of our forever foster program.

story 💗

When we first met Tahoe at the shelter in the early Fall of 2021, he was a skittish, fearful senior. We knew he would need consistency in his routine and loads of patience if he was ever going to learn how to trust. In order to offer him that, we would need a foster who understood that Tahoe’s ability to truly put his guard down might take months, if not years. Because a patient person stepped forward, we were able to bring Tahoe into rescue.

When Tahoe was first brought home, he wanted to hide outside in the dirt, day and night. It was painful to watch and his foster mom had to fight the urge to coddle him, but she recognized that the best way to express her love to an insecure dog is to give him space and to be steadfast in her patience. On his own timeline, Tahoe ventured inside and onto his dog bed. As the weeks turned into months, he blossomed. Tahoe knew he was home. So did we. We made Tahoe a K9 Kismet Forever Foster so he could spend his golden years with his person.

Earlier this year Tahoe’s forever foster’s mother took ill. After several short cross-country trips, she made the decision to head to the east coast for an extended stay and she wanted to take Tahoe with her. With help of his foster mom and a long-time suporter, we were able to make that happen.

Last week Tahoe and his mom boarded a plane to start a new adventure together. A HUGE heartfelt thank you to the good folks for taking excellent care of our very precious cargo. Tahoe, made new friends, ate yummy snacks and enjoyed some spa time on the flight. A true red-list to A-list story!

With the help of donors like you, we’ve been able to offer hundreds of dogs a path out of the shelter. For dogs with special needs like Tahoe, our Forever Foster Program takes it one step further, providing for a dog’s needs during his or her last chapter.

If you feel inspired by Tahoe’s story and would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help with his care, please do:

Please join us in welcoming our newest pack member, Missy (LBACS ).

On 11/24/2024 this sweet senior was picked up as a stray in Long Beach, CA. When the team ran her microchip, they learned that she briefly stayed with them as a pup 12 years ago. Missy’s “owners” redeemed her back in 2012, but when the shelter reached out to them this time around they denied even knowing her. Leaving Missy, a 13-year-old with mobilty issues without a home for the holidays. 🤬

The shelter is a tough environment for any dog, but a cold, hard kennel floor is especially difficult for a 13 -year-old with medical needs (stiff gait, hindlimb weakness/ataxia, cutaneous masses and mild incontinence). If you follow us you know that senior dogs have always had a special place in our hearts. While Missy wasn’t a dog we had planned to feature in our Give the Gift of Home 12 Day focus, when the shelter put out a rescue plea for this lovely, vintage lady, we knew we wanted to help. First we’d needed to find her a long-term foster. As it would turn out, Missy was already working on that part. 😉

Thanks to a big-hearted shelter volunteer (and her family), Missy will have the opportunity to live out her days on a comfy bed in a warm home surrounded by people who love her.

Missy will see our vet next week for a full evaluation. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help us keep Missy comfortable, we would be very grateful.

This Giving Tuesday, we hope you will help us celebrate by making a donation to your favorite nonprofit (hint-hint ... you’re looking at their post 😉).

At K9 Kismet Dog Rescue, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving, permanent homes for dogs in shelters who are at-risk of euthanasia and dogs whose owners can no longer care for them. We step in to help dogs who are enduring inhumane living conditions or are likely to be overlooked at the shelter due to their age, health, emotional state, or breed. Our dedicated team of volunteers work hard to ensure that all the dogs we take into rescue, regardless of individual needs, are cared for with love and compassion for the duration of their lives.

As a 100% volunteer-run organization, every dollar we receive will go directly to the dogs we serve now and in the future.

Happy Thanksgiving from our pack to yours! 🫶🏼

Please join us in welcoming our newest pack member, Frankie.

In February of 2024, Frankie, his littermates, and both of his parents were surrendered to City of Long Beach Animal Care Services. Shortly after entering the shelter system, Giselle’s Legacy pulled Frankie and his family into rescue. When the pups were old enough to be separated from their mom, Frankie was sent to foster with a family in Colorado. Sadly, a short time later, Giselle’s Legacy stopped responding to fosters, leaving Frankie and many other dogs, without support.

[This post is about Frankie, specifically, so we’re going to keep the focus on him; however, we know you may have questions about Giselle’s Legacy and the dogs in their care. For that reason, we’re going to pin additional information about that in the comments.]

Frankie was born with hypospadias, a rare developmental defect that occurs when the urogenital folds don't fuse properly during fetal development. In more severe cases like Frankie's, the condition can also cause an underdeveloped p***s. Thanks to good Samaritans who stepped in to help and the generous supporter they secured, Frankie was able to receive treatment at Colorado State University (CSU). The surgical team removed Frankie's non-functioning genitalia, neutered him, and widened his narrow re**um. Fortunately, the initial surgery was successful, but Frankie may need additional treatment in the future to help address his mild urinary incontinence and lower his risk of urinary tract infections.

Frankie is a happy, friendly, adorable ten-month-old pittie pup. He gets along well with people of all ages and dogs of all sizes. He weighs 65 lbs, is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Frankie is currently in medical boarding in Colorado, receiving treatment for a UTI. We’re currently seeking a foster or adopter in the Boulder, Colorado area, or southern California. Please reach out to us for more information.

Donations to help with Frankie’s veterinary care would be greatly appreciated. ❤️‍🩹

📢 Mocha has been adopted!

🛣️ Her rescue journey took a longer route than many. In May 2023, Mocha, her littermates, their mom, and two adult male dogs were surrendered to Long Beach Animal Care Services. When tests confirmed the family had parvo, the shelter sent them offsite for life-saving treatment. Once cleared, the surviving dogs went to rescue partners and foster care through the shelter. When our good friends at Zoom Room Dog Training heard City of Long Beach Animal Care Services desperately needed fosters to help these pups, they stepped up. Mocha spent the next several months healing and gaining strength in their care. Then in August 2023, Mocha was adopted from the shelter at an offsite event. Sadly, that adoption was short-lived and Mocha found herself back in the shelter’s care in March 2024.

Upon her return, Mocha was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, entropion, and allergic dermatitis. In addition to that, we would later learn that the problematic growth protruding from her v***a was actually a bony structure due to her hermaphroditism. Mocha would go on to need two corrective surgeries. We were ready to take that road with her thanks to the long-term commitment from her fosters, Friends of Long Beach Animals for helping to fund some of her medical costs, and and for agreeing to take on the unique challenges of her case.

🫶 Mocha would fully heal and blossom into the happy-go-lucky girl we now know her to be. She stole the hearts of a big, amazing family who have vowed to love her forever and we couldn’t be happier about this match.

A special shout-out goes to Just Food For Dogs for supplying Mocha’s nutritious food free of charge through ❕Their continued support of our pack members means we can provide healthy meals while reserving funds for supplies and medical rehabilitation. Rescue truly is a team effort. 💕

👏 Help us congratulate Mocha and her new pack by liking, sharing, or commenting on this post! We can’t continue to do the hard work without supporters like you getting the word out.

Sometimes you just gotta curl up with some sun rays and go on a staycation.

Clark has been looking for a home since he was brought to the city shelter on December 1, 2021. He’s been with the rescue since May 26, 2022. Want to see us rescue more dogs? Help us find homes for the ones we have.

Please share this sleepy now-9.5-year-old Clark with your network. Three foster homes later (not counting the many relief foster homes he’s been shuffled into over the past 2.5 years), he’d like his next home to be HIS home. Help us get Clark settled so he can officially unpack his suitcase. 🧳

Visit the website for Clark’s bio and to submit an app to meet him. Seniors need love too.

We want every dog we take into rescue to have the opportunity to live their best life. Whether they need help to fine tune their skills and build confidence (Ellie) or a temporary safe place to crash while we look for a long-term foster or adopter (Levi), we are committed to providing the support our pack members need to thrive.

Levi and Ellie are in the best of hands with trainer but board & train can be costly (especially when two dogs are there at the same time). Thankfully, one of our supporters has generously offered a dollar-for-dollar donation match challenge to help us raise needed funds.

Over the next five days, every dollar donated (up to $1k) will be doubled! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us fulfill the promises we made to Levi & Ellie.

On October 25, 2022, a bonded pair of senior dogs with mobility issues named Roger and Freddy met a kind couple who agreed to be their forever fosters. This act of selflessness allowed us to save the lives of a bonded pair who needed a lifeline out of the crowded shelter, and needed it fast. From that day on, “the babies,”—as their foster parents called them—knew love and comfort in ways we can’t imagine they truly knew in their previous home. (After all, they were picked up by animal control officers in an abandoned industrial lot that’s located ten miles south of where their microchips were registered.) Like most rescue dogs who have been given a new lease on life, they knew it. They lived indoors on cushy beds, ate the best food around (thanks to @justfoodfordogs donating their daily nutrition), enjoyed the peaceful tranquility of a private backyard, and were afforded the love and patience that comes with being a cherished family member. We had to bid farewell to Roger (aka: Gramps) in May of 2024, and now Freddy (aka: Poncho) after he experienced a sharp decline in his health and mobility. Fortunately, we were able to do that in his happy place, at home alongside his two favorite people as he got to experience the decadence of chocolate cake. Thank you to all who have donated time and/or funds to the rescue so we may continue to offer seniors the dignified last chapter we desperately wish they all could have. Rest in love, Freddy. 🤍 #k9kismetfreddy #seniordog #sheltersurvivor #rescuedogsofinstagram #foreverfoster #bondedpair #fosteringsaveslives #restinlove

Meet Dupree. Give him the gift of home this holiday season by adopting, fostering, or (if you are part of a rescue organization with an open spot) bringing him into your pack. Let’s work together to find Dupree the loving home he truly deserves. Dupree is a three-year-old male Alaskan Malamute mix who was found the evening of 5/11/24 in LB. The streets were unkind to him. He needed to be patched up by the shelter’s medical team because it seemed like this friendly guy may have encountered other dogs that weren’t so interested in playing nice. Dupree is an incredibly sweet dog with all kinds of personality. He loves playing with his toys, but he’s also a bit of a planner: At one point, Dupree will decide it’s time to start inspecting the perimeter of the yard for a place to stash his prized possession. With meticulous care, he’ll tuck it into the gravel or dirt. After all, Future Dupree is gonna wanna play with that and he’d hate to disappoint him. People love Dupree’s expressive face and he loves the people. He also enjoys long walks and hanging with his dog friends. If Dupree speaks to you and you’re in a position to foster until he is fully decompressed and adopted, we want to hear from you! As a reminder, fostering is free and you’ll receive the training support and education you’ll need to succeed as a foster. If you’ve been considering fostering a dog in need, now is the time. Let us know you’d be willing to open your heart and home to this dog in need by submitting a foster application through our website. https://www.k9kismet.org. Always a big supporter of the community’s dogs, @zoomroomlb in Long Beach, California is sponsoring Dupree’s adoption fee, and offering adopters a free assessment, and one free private training session! In addition to that, we are teaming up with @friendsoflongbeachanimals to send him home with a care package, complete with a collar, leash, bed, blanket, Kong, treats, and poop bags. Name: Dupree

Meet Downtown. Give him the gift of home this holiday season by adopting, fostering, or (if you are part of a rescue organization with an open spot) bringing him into your pack. Let’s work together to find Downtown the loving home he truly deserves. Downtown was shy and nervous when he first arrived at the shelter, but with a little TLC and some help from other dogs in his playgroup, his puppy side quickly came out. Fortunately, this handsome guy is extremely friendly and cuddly since he has the kind of soft coat that makes it hard to stop petting him once you start. Downtown loves playing with toys almost as much as he loves hanging with people and other dogs. He’s a smart, young dog who knows his basics and quickly learns new cues and commands. This sweet boy is more than ready for his forever home. If Downtown speaks to you and you’re in a position to foster until he is fully decompressed and adopted, we want to hear from you! As a reminder, fostering is free! Our friend and trainer @robertvillaneda has generously offered to provide the training support and education you’ll need to succeed as a foster. So, if you’ve been considering fostering a dog in need and enjoy learning new things, now is the time! Let us know you’d be willing to open your heart and home to this dog in need by submitting a foster application through our website. https://www.k9kismet.org.

Meet Lillybrook. Give her the gift of home this holiday season by adopting, fostering, or (if you are part of a rescue organization with an open spot) bringing her into your pack. Let’s work together to find Lillybrook the loving home she truly deserves. Lillybrook was picked up as a stray on 10/28/24. She had significant road rash and large lacerations to her left shoulder, leg, torso, and underbelly on intake. Lillybrook recovered at the shelter and was adopted out on 11/16/2024. Just two days after being adopted, Lillybrook was picked up again by Animal Control Officers. Shockingly, she had new, more significant lacerations upon intake the second time. Long story short, this girl needs a win. Lillybrook has clearly been through the ringer, but she is a happy, resilient little pup. This smart girl knows her basics, makes excellent eye contact, likes to play with toys, and loves people. Due to her injuries, she hasn’t been able to participate in play groups but when she sees another dog she lights up and seems eager to play. If Lillybrook speaks to you and you’re in a position to foster until she is fully rehabilitated and adopted, we want to hear from you! As a reminder, fostering is free! We cover all expenses. We also provide the training support and education you’ll need to succeed. Let us know you’d be willing to open your heart and home to this dog in need by submitting a foster application through our website: www.k9kismet.org.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some heroes get married on a Saturday and drive out to pick up their new foster dog on a Monday. 💞 That's right, folks. Our boy Levi has scored himself an AMAZING foster home! A HUGE heartfelt thank you to @robertvillaneda for taking Levi in when he needed refuge. With Robert's help, Levi had the opportunity to fine tune his skills. He’s is more than ready to get back into a home and be someone’s beloved family member. To learn more about Levi or any of our other amazing adoptable dogs, visit: www.k9kismet.org/adoptable-dogs Interested in becoming a K9 Kismet foster?

In August, Ellie joined our pack after being shot in the head. One of the most traumatic events imaginable. Thanks to a medical foster stepping up to offer her a safe place to recover, Ellie was able to receive the surgery she desperately needed. Now that her physical wounds have healed, it's time to help her become her most confident and secure self. Over the next four weeks, Ellie will be working with trainer @robertvillaneda to learn the skills she needs to thrive. We are currently seeking a long-term foster or adopter who will support Ellie after she completes her program. Fostering/adopting Ellie will come with the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with one of the best trainers in the state (at no cost to you). In addition, our friends @larpbo are donating three free group classes to ensure Ellie's success as she transitions into her new home. If you live in the Southern California area and would like to learn more about Ellie or apply to foster/adopt, please visit www.k9kismet.org or email us at [email protected]. The good folks @friendsoflongbeachanimals have graciously offered to sponsor the first two weeks of Ellie's four-week-program. We are hoping our supporters will help us raise funds needed for the rest. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today to help Ellie live her best life! She deserves our full support.
