OSCAR'S FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT: Oscar’s Foundation dba Oscar’s Animal Rescue & Facilitation is a charitable organization operating as a facilitator for the welfare, protection, and benefit of animals in need requiring placement with foster/permanent families in a safe and loving environment (D20 - Animal Protection & Welfare). We operate with donations in accomplishing our goals, offering assistance of many types to those in need with animals and/or during the process of re-homing their animals for whatever reason while still in their possession, and/or we will place those animals in need with approved fosters available (offering assistance as needed), as well as temporarily house animals (as if our own), if needed (with space available adhering to municipal codes). In addition, we also place strays with our approved fosters until permanent loving environments are found and help them with various types of assistance in this process as well. Our ongoing mission is to reach animal lovers worldwide compassionate to our cause of saving as large a number as possible of stray & neglected animals caused by abuse, extreme weather conditions due to climate change, overpopulation, and numerous other factors and are the advocate in their corner to help facilitate this transition from being stray & neglected to that of ultimately residing within a permanent loving environment. Oscar’s Foundation will do what it takes to save animals in need. We function primarily to financially support our charitable work through our public programs.  Joseph C. Knudson, Director
