Karl's Kids Program, Inc.

Karl's Kids Program, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) public charity working with children on many topics ranging from safety issues to hobbies to enjoy with their family. The Program makes use of a child's love of animals especially dogs to educate and to entertain the children.

While our main focus in the Program is on the children, the Program also works in the Community on activities that encourage the education of individuals on the care and training of the family pet. We work with other groups to foster and make available for adoption suitable animals for a family pet. We believe that by helping pets, even those not going into a family with children, we are still staying with our original goal of protecting a child's safety by assisting owners of any pet being introduced into a community.

On the local home base area, Karl's Kids is an educational partner with the Putnam County, FL Office of Emergency Management ESF #17. Emergency Support Function #17 deals with safety of the county animals from mitigating to planning to preparing to response to recovery. By helping keep the family pets and livestock safe we help protect the families who own them and the communities in which these animals are located.

The Program makes use of various means to accomplish the goals of our projects and activities. We have web sites and forums, prepare training materials, talk to groups of children and adults, set up information booths, and disburse handouts. Our volunteers are active in many groups and are encouraged to participate in other charitable organizational activities and help on a local scale in their community.

Karl's Kids Program does not get involved in controversial situations and never promotes any one religious or political party view. We encourage a pride of country and of the family unit.
