Kismet Creek Farm Holds First Ever Adoption Event Ste. Anne Fire Department Receives Grant Funds

The Ste. Anne Fire Department was a recipient of a Community Fire Department Grant, part of the 2023 Ag Days Gives Back 50/50 draw proceeds.

The $2,000 they were awarded will go towards the purchase of grain rescue equipment and air bags, which are used to lift heavy items in the event of an accident with entrapment.

In a first ever of its kind for the rescue farm, Kismet Creek decided to host an adoption event for 8 puppies in need of good homes.

Karl Schoenrock, owner of Kismet Creek Farm, received a call from a woman that needed some help re-homing these puppies.

“I told her, I only take in livestock, when I can but the least I could do was offer my party room to her to hold this event,” said Schoenrock.

“When I heard how stressed she was with all of these adorable beauties, I knew I had to help somehow.”

“She lives in Vita, so this made it easier for her to meet people at one place at one time,” he added “The plus though, was seeing how happy everyone who adopted a pup was, they definitely made my day.”

Even though the event was a huge success, and all the puppies found their fur-ever homes, Schoenrock believes that if he is to host future events it would be in partnership with a proper rescue.

“This is not something I want to do all the time, it just happened that my party room was not booked that day,” he explained. “In the future, I would only be more open to having a registered rescue who would hold the event at the farm.”
