OSCAR'S FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT: Oscar’s Foundation dba Oscar’s Animal Rescue & Facilitation is a "VERIFIED" 501 (c)(3) PUBLIC Non-profit Charitable Organization for the welfare, protection, care, & benefit of stray/neglected animals in need requiring placement with foster/permanent families in a safe & loving environment (D20 - Animal Protection & Welfare). We operate with Public Donations (tax deductible) to our Public Charitable Programs in accomplishing our goals, offering assistance of many types through these various programs for the welfare of these stray/neglected animals taken in & placed with our approved foster parents in our network, until permanent loving environments are found. 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, & numerous other factors, & 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, as well as assist qualified pet owners, financially strapped, with expenses of pet ownership in order their pets can remain in their homes rather than be surrendered & possibly face euthanasia.   Joseph C.
