Ivy is officially in her forever home! If you’re new to her story, in 2022, we were introduced to Ivy and her seven nine-week-old pups who lived outdoors in someone’s backyard—hot, dirty, and flea-infested. The pups lived on top of each other for about 22 hours a day in a single crate and Momma Ivy spent the majority of her day trying to hide from an unaltered male who repeatedly tried to mate with her. Ivy and her pups needed a rescue to step up to keep them from entering the shelter system. With the help of our supporters, we agreed to be that rescue.

Eventually, Ivy and all seven of her pups found loving foster-to-adopt homes. Sadly, in March of this year, Ivy’s world was turned upside down when her adoptive mom unexpectedly passed away. Our hearts broke when we heard the news. The world lost an amazing human, and in one fell swoop, Ivy lost her best friend and the only real home she had ever known. Once a K9 Kismet dog, always a K9 Kismet dog, so we jumped into action to bring Ivy back into the fold. We knew she’d need a safe place to begin healing (and fast). Thankfully our friend and trainer @robertvillaneda agreed to make a spot for her at his facility while we got to work looking for a long-term foster.

In May, our friend @sphinxx72921 referred a new foster to us. The potential foster’s dog had recently passed away and she was looking to honor his memory by fostering another dog in need. After meeting with Ivy, we knew she would be the perfect pairing.

Over the last 6 weeks, Ivy’s foster mom has helped to heal Ivy’s heart while, in turn, having her heart healed as well. Together we worked to make sure Ivy would be ready for her perfect forever home. Then, somewhere along the way, Ivy’s foster mom realized she'd already found one.

Please join us in congratulating Ivy! If Ivy’s story inspires you to short/long-term foster, we want to hear from you! Remember, fostering costs you nothing and you’ll have the full support of the K9 Kismet team.
