Meet Clark. If you’re looking for a dog who likes a good stroll around the neighborhood, but likes to power nap even more, this sweet eight-year-old is your guy. Imagine a dog who will completely submerge himself under the covers. If you can’t find him buried in a nest of his own making, Clark’s second favorite napping place is in a patch of sun. Be warned: If you have a favorite spot on the couch, make sure to get there before him, otherwise, you’ll be faced with a Clark who is sitting on the ground and staring up at you. That’s him politely but forcefully insinuating you must move if you love him. If you think you won’t give in, you just might after he turns away in a huff and lets out a grunt or two in protest. Oh, the drama. He’s lucky he’s so cute.
Give Clark a snuffle mat or a toy with a treat in it and he will light up. To say he’s treat-motivated is an understatement. It’s helped when it comes to his obedience training: Clark will impress you with his “sit,” “down,” “stay,” “come,” and “paw.” If you have a short attention span when playing fetch–good news!–so does he. He’s got about five “fetches” in him and then it’s “High-five, Human,” as he checks his watch and insists he’s “really gotta get back to chilling out.” Tolerant and gentle, he’s also good in the car, so if you’re looking for a Road Dog, Clark is right there with you.
Clark hasn’t been tested with cats, but has lived harmoniously with bunnies across two different foster homes. He’s currently an only-dog, but he’s lived with other dogs who are roughly his size in the past. When it comes to new dogs and humans, he prefers a formal introduction, but it doesn’t take long for him to start handing out the full body wags and kisses.
Clark is more than ready for his forever home. If you think he might be the one for you, fill out the application today! https://k9kismet.org/adoption-application/

More about this rescue
K9 Kismet Dog Rescue is a foster-based, volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Long Beach, CA. Founded in 2015, our dedicated team has helped to place hundreds of animals in loving, permanent homes.
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.
We strive to make a difference in the life of each dog we bring into our pack, and our commitment to each dog doesn’t end once they are adopted. We provide lifelong support to all K9 Kismet alumni should an emergency arise. Once a K9 Kismet Dog, always a K9 Kismet Dog. This isn’t a catch phrase; this is a core value.
