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.

At K9 Kismet, we believe every dog deserves a chance—whether big or small, we love them all! Meet #K9KismetAlumni Tori, one of our favorite success stories. Now known as @theroyaltori on Instagram, Tori’s journey from shelter survivor to happy pup is truly inspiring. Three years ago, Tori was found as a stray by Long Beach animal control officers—matted, dirty, and unable to walk. Her exam revealed that she had multiple pelvic fractures. Tori needed immediate surgery, followed by strict crate rest and careful supervision for many weeks. The shelter put out a plea for rescue support, and thanks to a compassionate foster stepping up, we were able to answer their call for help. At K9 Kismet, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving, forever homes for at-risk dogs like Tori. But we can’t do it alone—we rely on foster homes to make these transformations possible. You can help too! Fostering is 100% free—K9 Kismet covers all expenses. We just ask that you provide the love and care the dog needs while we work together to find their perfect forever home. If you live in Long Beach, California (or surrounding cities) and you’re interested in fostering a dog in need, we would love to hear from you!

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.
