The Karen Hartwig Foundation is a non-profit animal rescue organization established to provide financial assistance to help keep animals out of shelters.Specifically, the Karen Hartwig Foundation will focus its efforts on developing and implementing programs that help keep companion animals out of shelters, thereby reducing animal suffering.We have designed three programs that we believe will help achieve this goal:1. Guardian Angel Fund – enables individuals to retain ownership of their pets and not surrender to shelters, through provision of financial assistance2. Posse Assistance Fund – provides financial assistance to like-minded animal rescue organizations with the infrastructure in place to carry out activities consistent with our mission of keeping animals out of shelters3. Online Resource Center – access to resources and tools that help pet owners resolve behavioral issues rather than surrender their pet to a shelter
