The Annenberg Foundation
​
Explore.org a
Direct Charitable 
Organization of
The Annenberg Foundation
While raising funds online in 2012 Charlie Annenberg of both
 the Annenberg Foundation and Dog Bless You heard about the efforts to supply as much of Colorado State as possible with Pet Oxygen Masks. They made possible a donation of 300 Pet Oxygen Masks kits to the state of Colorado! The donation was made in the name of explore.org a direct charitable cause of the Annenberg Foundation. The funds were distributed and product distributed that same year. A project that could have taken 12 months was over in 3. Colorado suffered many devastating fires that year 
and Firefighters everywhere were calling to receive their 
equipment. The join effort between the Annenberg and Emma Zen Foundations' made it possible for more than 450 kits total to be distributed to  Colorado State communities who were so appreciative after all the devastation they had recently faced. We remember the quote of one Captain in particular who said, "I was on automatic and handling all the situations well until I went onto a homes property where a number of dogs had been effected by the smoke. Some how my heart allows me to do my job but it broke with emotion when I saw lifeless puppies. The whole time I just keep thinking we aren't prepared to do this." Now we are he said with a smile in his voice. "It's a relief to know that as a human and as a Captain in the department, now I am prepared to attend to our extended families." This emotion and many like it were made possible by the grant donated on behalf the Annenberg Foundation and their direct charitable causes. (2012)

Gifted Funds
OSO means little Bear in Spanish and boy does he look like one! Oso is a Schipperke. Oso had the opportunity to live with David and Rose Smith. Oso was their heart, always there for them and their best bud. His life was long and healthy but in contrast to us humans never long enough. We here at the Emma Zen Foundation got to know and love Oso. He attended our yearly foundation / birthday parties and accompanied us at Lazy Dog a time or two also. After Oso had passed David and Rose needed to donate their RV for tax purposes but the donation laws for vehicles have changed. (See how to help) So they sold the vehicle out right and used 100% of the funds to donate towards Pet Oxygen Masks. This purchased over 
66 kits, this figured was exactly what was need to 
supply the entire COUNTY of Ventura! YEP, this lovable little friend is responsible for every single fire engine in the County of Ventura being equipped with the right equipment to help save pets lives! Now maybe we would never forgot Oso anyways, and maybe you will never know his name but if you live in the Ventura County area you are forever protected by this little soul with a mischievous expression! Our largest private donation. (2012) 
​Susan Disney Foundation
​
"Pyewacket" is
one reason Susan 
is a pet lover!
Susan Disney Foundation
I am on the Fresno CERT Team  
​(Community Emergency Response Team).  In emergencies we do light search and rescue, light fire suppression, and medical triage.  We respond to request from the  Fire  Department to assist them in many ways, including checking and installing smoke detectors in senior or low income housing etc, but primarily we rehabilitate the fire men and women on the fire line.  Fresno has a very hot climate and the temperature in the turn-out suits they wear can get up to 140 degree, so fire personnel risk heat exhaustion/stroke if they do not cool down.  We do the rehabilitating with all sorts 
of cooling devices (special cooling chairs, misting fans, shelter, and a lot of water, Gatorade and snacks).  We see the hard work and risks they take on any fire, whether it be commercial, residential or grass, to not only extinguish the fire but save people and animals.  Because we have many grass fires some of the animals can be livestock.   It is heartwarming to see a big fireman carrying out a  animal out of smoke and fire with loving, cradling arms as if it was a child.  But it is disturbing when the animal  succumbs to smoke inhalation only because they do not have the proper resuscitation equipment.   With budget cutbacks the fire department need all the help they can  get from the community, after all it is the community they protect and serve. They deserve nothing but the best. Susan Disney purchased all 42 kits needed to establish Pet Oxygen Masks kits for the city of Fresno, CA. Judge Susan Disney (2013)
