Paperwork is coming along:

It's getting there, but still so much left to do before the fun starts...

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

A new organization is being started by two animal lovers who consider animals as important in this society as their caregivers.

MISSION STATEMENT:   To reach animal lovers worldwide compassionate to our cause of saving as large a number as possible of stray and neglected animals caused by abuse, extreme weather conditions due to climate change, overpopulation, and numerous other factors.  These poor animals need an advocate in their corner to help facilitate the transition from being stray and neglected to that of ultimately residing within a permanent loving environment.  Our organization will do just that; we will be that facilitator who can make this happen, as well as provide temporary care when needed, if possible with existing space, and/or provide a workable alternative solution when needed.  We will have no unnecessary levels of bureaucracy and will operate with a hands-on approach taken to reach our goals.  

PRINCIPALS:  Joseph C. Knudson – author, advocate, & businessman,
                                                                67 years of age

                     Spencer B. Aiello – advocate & hands-on leader,
                                                            57 years of age

ORGANIZATION NAME:  Oscar’s Animal Rescue & Facilitation  (paperwork in process for all aspects of the business, including licensing)

WHO IS OSCAR?  Oscar is a loving member of the Knudson/Aiello family who was rescued 11 years ago by Joe & Spencer.  He pretty much runs the place and is rewarded with plenty of love, hugs, kisses, and dog biscuits; he has also been known to enjoy a pancake or two on Saturday mornings.  He is in the photos above.

PRINCIPALS EXPERIENCE IN ANIMAL RESCUE & CARE:

1.
Lived almost a decade on 5 wooded acres in the country and as a pastime, rescued  many, many animals of all sizes, shapes, and kind.  Joe was diagnosed with cancer during this period and his illness eventually forced a move back to the city; however, all animals were either placed in loving homes or moved to the city with Joe &
Spencer.  Joe has since recovered and has been cancer free now for over 15 years and both Joe & Spencer desire to find the right parcel of land in the country suitable for running Oscar’s Animal Rescue & Facilitation, as well as put in place the necessary infrastructure on the land to successfully operate the business.  The time is now and they feel they can rescue thousands of animals during their remaining lifetime and eventually pass the business on to family.

2.
They also cared for wild deer and raccoons on land they purchased adjacent to their retirement home at Grand Lake upon Joe’s retirement several years ago and resided there for 3 years prior to a move back to the Oklahoma City area to be close to their grandson Atlas. 

3.
In the 30 years Joe & Spencer have been together, they have continually enjoyed the presence of pets in their home and have successfully nurtured each of them to a long and healthy life.  When their current dog Oscar was having problems with his hind legs, they took him to the vet who performed two successful surgeries to correct the problem. 

4.
Spencer has worked in the pet care industry as well, which will prove invaluable. 

 IN SUMMARY:  The timing is right for Joe & Spencer to
                          continue forward with all preparations for
                          a successful launch of Oscar’s Animal
                          Rescue & Facilitation, a desperately needed
                          organization for animals in need, and both
                          the animals & Joe & Spencer need you right

                          along with them with love and encouragement.
