N.J. pets in need: June 10, 2019

Profile: One Step Closer Animal Rescue

One Step Closer Animal Rescue Inc. in Sparta is a nonprofit rescue organization that saves dogs and cats from desperate situations, with a major focus on rescuing pets from overcrowded shelters where animals are euthanized due to lack of space.

O.S.C.A.R. ensures that all pets it cares for receive proper veterinary attention and vaccinations, and that the animals are spayed/neutered. In addition, OSCAR helps the local community with strays, re-homing animals, taking in NJSPCA abuse cases, and running a trap/neuter/release program for feral cats.

The shelter at 155 Stanhope Sparta Road in Andover is open to the public by appointment only and only for persons with approved applications on file. O.S.C.A.R. makes appointments for potential adopters to meet pets either in its Bark Yard or one of its meeting rooms. There, people can spend as much time as they need in order to make the best match between a pet and its new home.

Shelter tours are also available by appointment. For more information, email oscarrescue@yahoo.com or call 973-810-2853.
