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.

Shelter ReFURB

We recently purchased a 6 acre piece of property in Andover, NJ to be used as a “no-kill” shelter. The property has an existing building with 40 dog kennels and a free roaming cat room. However, the building has been vacant for several years and has fallen into disrepair. It's going to take time, money, and a lot of hard work to get it up and running.

Read more about the "Shelter ReFURB."

We realize how important it is for kids to learn how to help animals and that there are animals in need in their community. We have different ways to help, all of which benefit the rescue. Kids learn the value of setting goals and feeling like they are making a difference.

JULY 2016

MANY thanks again to our good friend, Paige! This is the FOURTH YEAR that Paige has made this generous donation.

"For Paige's 12th birthday, she asked our family to bring donations once again for her favorite organization, One Step Closer Animal Rescue. This is the 4th year that she has asked, on her own, for these donations. As her parents, we are proud of her commitment to animal rescue, support, and education. Her genuine love for animals goes beyond taking care of and loving her own pets; she volunteers her time helping OSCAR, and she values the life of every living creature she comes across.

Paige is pictured with two out of three of our own OSCAR rescues: Sawyer (formerly Rayland) and Denver (formerly Blair). Willow (formerly Happy) was being camera shy!"

We'd like to thank Intervale School Troop 6175 in Parsipanny NJ for donating supplies and a gift card! We truly appreciate it. Thank you, girls, for helping the animals. We couldn't do what we do here at OSCAR without help from animal lovers like you! O.S.C.A.R.

Dottie's Story!

This is a true rescue story of a courageous puppy and her fight for life! We first met Dottie on April 16, 2014 As a young pup, Dottie was used as a bait dog in Paterson, NJ. With lots of vet care and love from O.S.C.A.R. fosters and volunteers, Dottie was nurtured back to health. WE were all overjoyed when she was adopted in January 2015.
