Help Get Justice For Oscar

Donation protected
On the evening of June 9, 2025, Oscar — a gentle and loyal 8-year-old husky — was out on his daily walk with his mom when he was viciously attacked from behind by two unleashed dogs in their neighbourhood. What should have been a peaceful, everyday moment turned into a heartbreaking tragedy in a neighbourhood that prides itself on being dog-friendly and safe for families.

Oscar wasn’t just a pet. He was a cherished member of a Filipino family of four from the Hamilton Mountain area — a source of unconditional love, comfort, and joy. His presence filled their home with warmth, and his sudden, violent loss has left a void that words can’t describe.

This GoFundMe has been created to support Oscar’s family with:

  • Recovering vet bills

  • Funding legal fees as they pursue justice and accountability for what happened

  • Advocating for safer, stricter leash enforcement policies so no other family has to suffer this kind of loss

Oscar’s life mattered. No one should have to fear walking their dog. No family should have to endure this kind of pain. Your support (whether through a donation or simply by sharing this page) means the world.

This could have been any dog. It could have been a small child. When dangerous animals are left uncontrolled, lives are at risk. Oscar deserved more time, more love, and more walks under the sun. Justice must be served — not just for Oscar, but for the safety of every family in our community.

Together, we can stand for Oscar. We can help his family heal, seek accountability, and make sure his story leads to real change.

Thank you for your compassion, your support, and for helping us honour Oscar’s memory.
