From Karma Rescue

Fundada en 2003, Karma Rescue es una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3) con la misión de poner fin a la eutanasia económica de las mascotas y prevenir el hacinamiento en los refugios brindando ayuda vital a familias de bajos ingresos y servicios gratuitos de esterilización/castración para personas de escasos recursos. sirvió a comunidades en todo Los Ángeles. La eutanasia económica es la desgarradora tendencia de los animales a ser entregados a refugios superpoblados y/o sacrificados porque sus dueños no pueden afrontar un gasto inesperado: más de medio millón de animales de compañía son sacrificados cada año. El enfoque de Karma es estratégico: en lugar de trabajar en áreas ya sobresaturadas con programas similares, Karma investiga y trabaja en códigos postales específicos que no reciben la misma atención y recursos necesarios que otras áreas de Los Ángeles.
