<div>On February 11, 2026, our world changed in a matter of minutes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/animal-shelter-fire-crews-battling-step-closer-rescue-andover-nj/18587580/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">devastating fire</a> tore through our One Step Closer Animal Rescue (OSCAR) shelter in Andover, NJ. The building that has been a safe haven for so many dogs suffered catastrophic damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most heartbreakingly, three of our beloved dogs lost their lives in the fire. We are grieving them deeply. They were not just animals in our care. They were part of our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the time of the fire, we were caring for approximately 40 dogs. Thanks to the heroic efforts of first responders, volunteers, and partner rescues, many dogs were safely evacuated and transported to emergency foster homes and veterinary facilities. Some are being treated for injuries. All are shaken. So are we.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But OSCAR is not giving up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We’re Facing Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, we are managing:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Emergency veterinary bills for injured and smoke-exposed dogs
</li>
<li>Food, bedding, crates, and medical supplies for displaced animals
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our shelter building is currently uninhabitable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have always operated with heart, grit, and the support of this community. Now we need you more than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Donation Helps</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will go directly toward:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Emergency medical care and rehabilitation
</li>
<li>Temporary housing, foster support, and daily care supplies
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar makes an impact. There is no donation too small.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>OSCAR exists for dogs who have nowhere else to go — the overlooked, the surrendered, the ones who just need time and love to shine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fire may have damaged our building, but it will not destroy our mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We owe it to the dogs we lost.
</div>
<div>We owe it to the dogs still in our care.
</div>
<div>And we owe it to every future dog who will need us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Please Donate &amp; Share</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please consider making a donation today. And if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, we will continue saving lives.
</div>
<div>With your support, we will honor the dogs we lost by moving forward — stronger and more determined than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with OSCAR. ❤️
</div>
