Meet Kismet, a resilient and loving French Bulldog with a story that pulls at the heartstrings. Though he's not a pug, Kismet captured our hearts the moment we met him at the shelter. Found as a stray, his past is a mystery, but it's likely he was used for breeding until he developed a spinal condition, leaving him paralyzed in his hind legs. When he was no longer considered "useful," he was abandoned, facing an uncertain future. Thankfully, Kismet's journey led him to us, where he's been given a second chance.
Despite his challenges, Kismet's spirit remains unbroken. He does not have use of his hind legs, but he's perfected a charming little hop to get around on his own, though he does have a wheelchair that he uses occasionally. This special boy has a heart full of love and a gentle, affectionate nature. Kismet adores the company of other dogs and is always ready for a snuggle. His unique light apricot fur and sweet, light eyes make him stand out, but it's his warm personality that truly shines.
Kismet does require some extra care, including having his bladder expressed several times a day, as he's unable to urinate on his own. He's incredibly patient and cooperative during the process, and our dedicated team is here to teach you everything you need to know if you're unfamiliar with this aspect of his care.
At around 4 years old, Kismet is looking for a home with someone who understands the commitment needed to care for a special needs dog or is willing to learn. He would thrive in a home where his person isn’t away for long periods. Kismet’s journey hasn’t been easy, but he’s ready to share his love and bring joy to a family that sees beyond his physical challenges and embraces the beautiful soul he is. Please inquire today to learn more about our friend, Kismet!

More about this rescue
Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
