Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE OASIS MISSION IS TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING OF ABUSED, NEGLECTED OR HOMELESS COMPANION ANIMALS, HORSES, AND OTHER PETS. WE DO THIS THROUGH OUR FIVE INITIATIVES: (1) REHABILITATE COMPANION ANIMALS FROM LOCAL SHELTERS & THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR ADOPTION; (2) PROVIDE A LOW-COST SPAY AND NEUTER PROGRAM; (3) PROVIDE SANCTUARY FOR ABUSED FARM ANIMALS - ESPECIALLY HORSES; (4) A HUMANE EDUCATION PROGRAM; AND (5) PROVIDE A PERMANENT, LOVING HOME FOR THOSE ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN TOO TRAUMATIZED OR ARE TOO DISABLED FOR ADOPTION.
THE OASIS MISSION IS TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING OF ABUSED, NEGLECTED OR HOMELESS COMPANION ANIMALS, HORSES, AND OTHER PETS.
STERILIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM IS RUN TO HUMANELY REDUCE UNWANTED ANIMAL POPULATIONS THROUGH SPAY AND NEUTER SURGERIES. 300 ANIMALS PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM IN 2019, MOST OF WHICH WERE STERILIZED BEFORE YEAR END. FROM THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION IN 2002 UNTIL 12/31/19, 6,929 ANIMALS WERE SPAYED OR NEUTERED, EFFECTIVELY AND HUMANELY PREVENTING THE BIRTHS OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS OR UNWANTED ANIMALS. THIS PROGRAM HAS 9 PARTICIPATING VET HOSPITALS AND CLINICS, AND OASIS PAYS THE ACTUAL (REDUCED COST) SURGERY INVOICES. REVENUE TOTALED $25,244, INCLUDING $5,000 IN GRANTS AND A GENEROUS $8,000 STOCK DONATION SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROGRAM. EXPENSES TOTALED $20,263 WHICH REPRESENTS $130 OF REFUNDS OF CO-PAYS, $35 FOR FORMS PRINTING, AND $20,098 OF PAYMENTS TO OUR PARTICIPATING VET HOSPITALS PERFORMING THE ACTUAL SURGERIES.
ANIMAL CARE & ADOPTION/FOSTER/RELOCATE PROGRAMS: BECAUSE THESE 2 PROGRAMS ARE THE MAIN ENDEAVORS OF THE ORGANIZATION, MOST OF THE MONEY USED FOR THEM COMES IN THROUGH OUR GENERAL ACCOUNT; $17,414 WAS SPECIFICALLY DONATED VIA INDIVIDUALS FOR ANIMAL CARE. IN 2019, ONLY 6 ANIMALS WERE SURRENDERED TO OASIS, MAINLY DUE TO THE IMPENDING RETIERMENT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ANIMAL CARE, THE ENSUING SEARCH FOR HER REPLACEMENT, AND THE ONGOING RENOVATIONS OF THE CAT COTTAGE. SINCE INCEPTION, OASIS CARED FOR 624 ANIMALS - MANY OF THEM VERY ILL WHEN THEY WERE SURRENDERED TO OASIS. AT THE END OF 2019, 18 WERE STILL WITH US, 11 OF WHICH ARE "PERMANENT RESIDENTS" AS THEY HAVE BEEN TOO TRAUMATIZED OR ARE TOO DISABLED TO BE ADOPTED OUT. ANIMALS INCLUDED: DOGS, CATS, HORSES (FROM DRAFTS TO PONIES), DONKEYS, DUCKS, GUINEA PIGS, SNAKES, HAMSTERS, A DOMESTIC TURKEY, FERRETS, A ROOSTER, AND GOATS AMONG OTHERS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES HEALTHY NUTRITION, EXCELLENT VET CARE, AND SOCIALIZATION WITH OTHERS OF THEIR SPECIES AS WELL AS WITH HUMANS. WE PROVIDE A NON-CAGED ENVIRONMENT FOR AS MANY ANIMALS AS WE CAN TO REDUCE STRESS AND ILLNESS; AND WE DO NOT EUTHANIZE ANY ANIMAL FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT END-OF-LIFE SUFFERING FOR WHICH WE CAN OFFER NO OTHER RELIEF. THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE INTIMATELY INTERTWINED AND CANNOT BE SPLIT FOR PURPOSES OF THIS FORM. THE FIGURE REPRESENTS ACTUAL ANIMAL CARE EXPENSE AND TOTAL PAYROLL ALLOCATED TO PROGRAM EXPENSE. THE GRANT FIGURE INCLUDES $2,000 FOR CONTINUED RENOVATION FOR OUR CAT COTTAGE.
