-care & placement made easy

-special needs animals accepted

-emotional support dog schooling

Oscar's Foundation, dba Oscar's Animal Rescue & Facilitation, not only benefits animals, but will benefit those struggling with depression/emotional difficulties by providing them a lifeline, as our work with rescues has recently expanded to include schooling (while in our care) in the area of emotional support & we will provide emotional support dogs free of charge, when available, for adoption to those in need.  This nonprofit animal rescue was started by the Director in September of 2022,  in response to the growing number of stray & neglected animals throughout the country & currently operates out of a temporary location.  To continue the work of the Foundation, there has been an ongoing search for a permanent location necessitated by growth, along with various existing zoning, permitting, & city ordinances.

PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN & JOIN IN OUR EFFORTS TO CONTINUE IN A PERMANENT LOCATION & PROVIDE A SAFE & LOVING ENVIRONMENT TO THOSE ANIMALS IN NEED, AS WELL AS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY/DEPRESSION WITH OUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG PROGRAM!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG COACHING PROGRAM AT OSCAR'S ANIMAL RESCUE...

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG PROGRAM & ULTIMATE PLACEMENT WITH THOSE BATTLING ANXIETY/DEPRESSION, ETC. (FREE OF CHARGE TO THOSE QUALIFIED)  

Emotional Support Animals Are NOT Service Animals
Our Emotional Support Dogs provide comfort to people with psychological disabilities:

We are in the initial trial phase of emotional support coaching for some of our rescues at the facility.  We have already graduated two dogs, Buddy & Paxil, as emotional support dogs (Buddy was placed last month & he & his new caregiver have already formed a healthy bond.  Paxil is a work in progress & already has a new forever home & caregiver lined up for placement within the next few days). 

While in our current temporary location, the program will continue for a trial period & once we are moved to a permanent location in 2023, the program will continue so long as during this trial period, results are favorable.

Dogs can provide emotional stability to most caregivers & for those with certain psychological disabilities, emotional support dogs can be critical to their health & well being.  Many professional therapists prescribe emotional support animals for their patients.

The companionship of a dog can help reduce anxiety & many times will provide a distraction from negative thoughts entering your mind.  In addition, many suffering from depression will find that caring for a dog provides a routine activity, that in many cases, alleviates many forms of depression.

Our coaching is based on personal experience.  The Director of Oscar's Foundation has battled depression for decades & finds activities involved with having a dog, as well as the love & devotion dogs many times exhibit toward their caregiver, provides a welcomed therapy to supplement any prescribed medications many of the times.

DISCLAIMER:  No medical advice is expressed or implied in the above.  Oscar's Animal Rescue merely provides a well behaved dog coached appropriately using personal experiences & as such does not certify the results.

ANIMALS PLACED BY OSCAR'S ANIMAL RESCUE & FACILITATION:

A FEW OF THE ANIMALS OSCAR'S ANIMAL RESCUE & FACILITATION RESCUED & PLACED IN THEIR FOREVER HOMES SINCE OPENING THEIR TEMPORARY LOCATION:https://www.gofundme.com/f/oscarsanimalrescuelandinfrastruc

We like to name the rescues we take in if they don't already have a name.  We always check for a chip, make sure they have all their shots, have them neutered, & bathe each one with a flea/tic shampoo before they are placed in their forever home.

Here are some of the animals we were able to get a pic of; Spencer took some of them & I took some of them (guess who took what...lol).  Some of the pics were taken here in our temporary location & some were taken elsewhere (on a walk, when we picked up a rescue, as we delivered a rescue to the custody of their new & forever caregiver, etc.).

This is Paxil, he is still with us completing his schooling in emotional support.

This is Silva, already in her forever home. 

This is Roadie, already in his forever home.

This is Littleone, already in her forever home.
This is Lady, already in her forever home.

This is Brownie, already in her forever home.

WHY WALKING YOUR DOG IS SO BENEFICIAL FOR YOU AND THEM! (Thank you Lauren Piandes...)

It’s Walk the Dog Month!


You might be thinking, “hang on, why would we have walk your dog month during one of the coldest months of the year?” While it might seem strange, it’s the perfect time to find extra inspiration to get out of the house and take your dog for an adventure in the colder weather.

ENJOY!

TRANSITIONING TO 2023!

Oscar's Animal Rescue & Facilitation is a cause I hold dear to my heart, with stray & neglected animals on the rise & the need to be addressed sooner than later; we are currently doing that in our temporary location & look forward to our permanent facility to address many concerns in 2023 with many additional programs planned.

JOIN IN OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE A SAFE & LOVING ENVIRONMENT TO THOSE ANIMALS IN NEED, AS WELL AS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY/DEPRESSION WITH OUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG PROGRAM CURRENTLY IN TRIALS...

UPDATE ON PLACEMENT OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG WITH NEW CAREGIVER

Oscar's Foundation benefits not only stray & neglected animals, but people battling Depression/Anxiety can benefit as well; the shelter recently coached one of our rescues in a trial two week course for emotional support & recently placed him (Buddy) with a young man battling Manic Depression/Bipolar Disorder. We are pleased to say both Buddy & his new caregiver have formed a strong & healthy bond in the 10 days they have been together. Once we move from our temporary to the permanent location, Emotional Support Dog coaching will be continued for a trial period & if results remain positive, will become a permanent part of the shelter.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE that will benefit those in need, your donation will directly assist in allowing Oscar's Foundation to continue this & all our work with rescues in a permanent location/facility in 2023.

TEMPORARY LOCATION PENDING RELOCATION TO PERMANENT FACILITY IN 2023

Many of you know we are operating currently out of 4212 N. Ann Arbor, Warr Acres, OK and have limited space; however, even with limited space we have taken in and re-homed many cats and dogs since we began operations and have used our climate controlled greenhouse in back as temporary residence for some of them (it is a very large greenhouse) and a few have stayed in our home temporarily. We haven't advertised this to the public as we desperately need to get into the permanent location so the next Phase of operations can begin and it is difficult to work on a permanent location and take in animals at the same time. We have no hours showing on our various sites as we cannot accommodate the rush that would put upon a temporary location; we are taking calls and referring many to other places when we just don't have any space here. WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE & APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING. We are getting there, it is just taking longer than we originally anticipated and wanted to update all of you on this "behind the scenes" activity that couldn't be avoided with the current situation.
