Mission Statement
One Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.) in Sparta, New Jersey, is a non-profit rescue organization that saves dogs and cats from desperate situations. We rescue pets from overcrowded shelters where animals are euthanized due to lack of space. O.S.C.A.R. volunteers care for these pets in our network of foster homes where they receive the loving care they deserve. We ensure that all pets in our care receive the proper veterinary attention and vaccinations, and that the animals are spayed/neutered. All of O.S.C.A.R.'s dogs and cats are great animals that deserve loving homes. Our Rescue was created through the desire to save the lives of innocent animals. All of our members are volunteers who have a strong passion to save as many dogs and cats as we can, as well as a commitment to ensure great futures for all of the pets we rescue.
About This Cause
One Step Closer Animal Rescue, Inc. was started because its volunteers saw they could do so much more to help animals. Many times we get asked how we got into rescue work. Our rescue’s founders started off with dog walking at a local shelter, then fostering and fundraising, then took the big leap into starting a rescue. We always felt we had the drive and passion to work hard to save as many lives as we could; we just needed to start a rescue to do so. When we started the rescue we were able to save 3 dogs a month, now we rescue 5-10 dogs a week and hope, with gaining more volunteers, we can increase that number in future years. Most of our volunteers dedicate many hours each week to these homeless animals. It was important to us, to be an all-volunteer group. We want all donators to know that every dollar is spent on the animals, we do not pay salaries. This rescue is our lives and we take pride in the work that we do. Why we do it...All of our volunteers feel strongly about doing everything we can to save dogs from being put to sleep in shelters due to space issues. IMAGINE going into a shelter knowing that the majority of the animals are being put to sleep that day. IMAGINE looking at their faces, running your hands down the cages and the dogs trying to get your attention by kissing your hand and giving paw. IMAGINE knowing you only have space for 3 dogs and you are the only chance these dogs have before being put to sleep and breathing their last breath. O.S.C.A.R. will continue to do everything we can to make a difference in the animal’s lives that we rescue. It is beyond heart breaking to have to make these hard decisions. We take comfort in knowing we are doing everything we possibly can.
