OASIS SANCTUARY UPDATE
May 2009

Well folks, it is May and thanks to the love and compassion of our donors, Oasis Sanctuary is alive

Continuing to downsize.

Since our last update in February, Oasis has placed more dogs and cats into loving forever homes. Recently adopted were those critters that had some sort of issue, be they fear biters, housebreaking, or separation anxiety disorders.  Also adopted into loving homes were many cats who tested positive for FIV and FeLv, as well as a few sprayers.

Frank Zappa, our resident curmudgeonly goat is still here along with li’l Frankie the pygmy. Sadly, li’l Frankie’s life-long partner Jesse recently died of kidney failure. Though we have found a home for li’l Frankie, we have decided to keep him at Oasis until Frank Zappa finds a home.  At least they’ll keep each other company till such time.

Oasis continues to look for homes for the remaining critters.

Oasis property for sale

Though we are out of imminent danger of losing our property and not being able to support the daily needs of our sanctuary, the problem still looms in the not so distant future. Thanks to the huge generosity of a few last minute angels along with many kind-hearted individuals, Oasis is still able to help and care for the critters without compromise.  

As was said in the last update, Oasis needs to sell its current property in order to relocate to a more manageable facility closer to NYC.  That is still our goal. Below are the links to the properties that are for sale.

We need this to happen, otherwise the Oasis animals future will not be so friendly. We urge everyone to help us find a buyer for the Oasis property.  It is perfect for anyone who wants to have a sanctuary or rescue facility. There are ample buildings and property to realize the dream of helping animals. It is also perfect for an established animal organization or foundation as an investment opportunity.

We’ve had offers from individuals wanting to use it as a breeding kennel or hunting grounds but we will never allow that to happen. We feel that the sacred grounds of Oasis must not be used in any animal exploitation endeavor. Our rule of thumb is: “one can’t hurt in order to help”.  In other words, our ethical philosophy does not allow one animal to be hurt for the sake of another.  

The best-case scenario we can hope for is that another animal organization buys Oasis.  They would have a ready-made location to save animals and in turn Oasis will use the money from the sale to provide a place for our unadopted animals. It would be a win–win situation for the critters.  Please reach out to people or organizations that you think may be interested and ask them to look at the Oasis property.

Please help our animals

We are still in need of donations as well as food, blankets and medicine. We could also use a washing machine and dryer. Our truck broke down and we need to either fix it or get another one. We still have more than a few critters that need placement.  Please help us find them loving homes!

You can help keep Oasis and the animals stay safe by doing one or all of the following:

  1. Donate money
  2. Donate medicine
  3. Donate blankets
  4. Donate food
  5. Donate a pick-up truck
  6. Donate your time to help us find homes for the critters
  7. Help us find a buyer for our property

Thanks to all of you that have come to our rescue!

Sincerely,

For the critters,
Eddie Lama
