What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
TEAM O2
Fundraising for Pet Oxygen Masks for first responders.
TEAM Aid
TEAM Aid will provide Pet First Aid kits to the members of the National Disaster Search & Rescue Foundation. This human/dog teams are deployed during every US and International diseaser. They utilize their time and lives to save ours. We will be providing equipment and training for them to help their own canines during search and rescue deployments.
Team Bark
Pet Bark is a dual effort between the Emma Zen Foundation and BarkCODE pet ID tags to supply those pets in shelters with immediate identification. Even though pets are chipped in many shelters many pets get lost and returned before people have the time to register their IDs. With BarkCODE fewer pets will be returned to shelters and will find their way back to their new homes!
Team Read
Educational books for children to learn more about pets in shelters, pet care & pet awareness.
Team Pig
The Food Train is a direct charitable program of the Emma Zen Foundation. Raising funds to feed and house pets that have been saved from laboratory testing, mainly hogs and mini pigs.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our immediate goal is to see one Pet Oxygen Masks kit on every front line vehicle in Southern California, then all of CA.
Our larger aim is to make sure we have a represent in every state to help us establish kits in their state.
Our future goal is to make it mandatory for all first responder vehicles to carry life saving equipment for pets!
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We raise funds through grants and public donations so that we may supply fire fighters all over the United States with the proper pet life saving equipment and training.
We are constantly applying for grants and other funds. We now have 5 major fundraiser a year.
We started a method by which others may learn to cover their city, county or state so we can saturate the US in a more calculated fashion.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our grant history is available at http://www.emmazenfoundation.org/grant-history.html
We are a group of very persistent pet lovers and all those that come aboard tend to have that same passion to keep pets safe!
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In our first six months of operation as a non-profit in 2011 (July - December) our revenue exceeded $12,000 producing more than 160 kits available for distribution. We passed these figures in the first three months of 2012 by years end our generated funds topped 86,000.00 In 2012. We covered four of Southern California's largest counties including Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County and Riverside / Cal Fire County Fire Departments and distributed over 1,146 Pet Oxygen Mask kits in 2012. Our administration fees for 2 years running have only been approximately 9.5%. In 2013 we showed more good results! These figures put us over 2,500 Pet Oxygen Masks kit donated line with our continuing low admin considerations.
We supplied over 400 kits in the State of Colorado allowing their State Senator to pass the fist bill on OPT IN ER CARE for PETS on Emergency Scenes. This is now the practices we are trying to establish in the State of California.
