Founded in 2003, Karma Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to endeconomic euthanasiaof pets and prevent shelter overcrowding by providing life-saving aid to low-income families and free spay/neuter services to under-served communities throughout Los Angeles. Economic euthanasia is the heartbreaking trend of animals being surrendered to overcrowded shelters and/or put down because their owners cannot afford an unexpected expense -- over half a million companion animals are euthanized each year. Karma's approach is strategic -- rather than work in areas already oversaturated with similar programs, Karma researches and works in targeted zip codes that don't receive the same attention and necessary resources as other areas in Los Angeles.

Dog Foster Network started with a simple, personal truth: one person can only do so much. Our founder became a foster - and then a foster fail - and realized that the bottleneck wasn't love. It was access, visibility, and support.

Dogs were sitting in shelters and rescues, waiting for temporary homes that existed but couldn't be reached. Fosters wanted to help but didn't know where to start. We built DFN to close that gap.

Today we're actively growing our network of rescue partners and working to bring more exposure to dogs in need - because every dog deserves a safe place to land while they wait for their forever home.
