HAPPY NEW YEAR, Kismet Fam!!! It’s Chrissy and John here, easing into the first day of 2025 with full hearts (and very tired pups). There’s something so special about waking up on January 1st to quiet streets, clean slates, and that feeling of possibility you only get once a year. We hope today brings you a little pause, a little joy, and a little (or large) dog curled up somewhere nearby.
As December came to a close, it felt like the perfect final chapter to an unforgettable year. We kicked things off with Chewy Claus, a partnership rooted in generosity and giving pups the holiday magic they deserve. We adored watching this community show up by sharing, donating, and cheering on rescue pups. It truly reminded us just how special this pack really is.
Then came our first-ever 12 Days of Kismet, which felt so wonderful that we’re already committed to making it a holiday tradition. Each day featured a giveaway from us and some of our favorite brand partners, all meant to spread a little holiday joy. One of the highlights was a special day with Chewy, where we turned it into a mini toy-drive for the pups at Animal Haven. It was heart warming seeing all the pups so excited about their Nugs and new Chewy toys!
And we can’t forget the energy of our bicoastal Pack Walk with Fi. From LA to NYC, with sunshine or scarves, seeing both coasts show up reminded us why this community means so much to us. Those mornings, watching dogs tug their people toward new friends, are the moments we carry with us into the new year.
Through all of it, the chaos of the holidays, the giving, the gatherings, you constantly remind us why we started this company. Every message, every adoption update, every time you choose Kismet for your pup… it all adds up. And it all matters.
As we step into 2026, we’re grateful to build something meaningful with you, for every rescue partner we get to support, and for the love you pour into your pups and into this pack.
Wishing you a month of fresh starts, long walks, soft snoots, and all the warmth a new year can bring.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and snuggle-filled 2026 💛
— John & Chrissy
