About Kismet D

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! If you're searching for a goofy, affectionate companion with a vibrant personality, Kismet might be your perfect match. This friendly girl absolutely adores her people, often acting like a living, breathing warm blanket and specializing in couch cuddles after a long day. But don't be fooled—beneath that snuggly exterior is a working-dog spirit just waiting to shine. Kismet thrived in doggy daycare and is eager for a "job," whether that's ongoing training, structured activities, or having a playful canine buddy by her side. She’s an expert protector, ready to alert you to any unusual sounds—sometimes even serenading when her loved ones leave the room. That means she’ll be happiest in a single-family home without shared walls where she won’t disturb neighbors. Kismet loves other dogs and would thrive with an active family or someone who values keeping their dog purposefully engaged. While she relishes downtime on the couch, too much can make her a bit restless, so finding the right balance is important! Kismet is still learning to master a few household habits, such as understanding that potty breaks are outdoor-only and resisting the urge to explore counters or shred tempting paper. She hasn’t tried a kennel yet, as she used to sleep alongside her human, but she’s adapting and learning daily. If you’re looking for a loving, hilariously silly, and fiercely loyal dog who wants to be part of everything you do—and maybe have a role to play—Kismet could be the destiny you’ve been waiting for. By the way, with a birthday on January 24, she's an Aquarius, which means she's usually clever, social, and loves novelty! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
