Tempe-URGENT's Info...

| Size: | Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg) | Sex: | Male |
'Tempy' stands for temporary which he was given when he was saved him from animal control. He was found as a stray and all of the no kill shelters were full. We saved him from AC on December 22nd. He is now up to date on all of his shots & was recently neutered. Both the vet & the trainer who evaluated him believe him to be 14 months old. Tempy is very playful & sweet. He is also super friendly and happily greets everyone he meets! Tempy is both crate & house trained & has very good leash manners. Tempy is very treat motivated and eager to please. He knows his basic commands & is very smart. Tempy seems to have a high prey drive so he most likely will not do well in a house with cats. Like most strays, Tempy is a resource guarder. He will need training on this. His temporary mom & dad have been hand feeding him and he has been doing very well with this. He takes his food & treats very gently. However, to be safe, he should be in a family with older kids who know better than to try to play with his food. As far as other dogs go, Tempy has yet to be tested. He seems interested in other dogs but we will not know more until he is tested further. If you are interested in Tempy please call 484-515-4991 or email megochs@gmail.com for an application.

Rescue Group Info...
Please visit our website at www.OscarAnimalRescue.org
One Step Closer Animal Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are a smaller rescue group that focuses on animals in desperate situations. We rescue dogs and cats from shelter where they have no room and euthanaize due to space or no food. All of our animals we rescue are fully vetted and spayed/neutered, unless they are too young to be altered. They are all great animals very deserving of great homes. Our rescue was created through the desire to save more lives that all our members have. We all have a passion to save animals as well as a commitment to ensure great futures for all our animals we rescue.
Our dogs/cats are not first come/first serve. We place our dogs/cats with the home that is the best fit for them. Not all animals are good in all homes, whether it’s their personalities, nature, or breed. We base our decision on what’s best for the dog/cat and the family. Thanks for understanding!
Supplies we need:
Crates/Kennels (wire or plastic)
Paper Towels
Dog Bowls
Dog/Puppy Food (dry and canned)
Flea Medications (spray or monthly)
Leashes
Collars-all sizes
Dog Beds
Cleaning Supplies (bleach, pinesol, paper towels..etc.)
Plastic Gloves (medium and large)
Puppy Play Pens (aka X pens)
Dog Treats/Bones
Dog Toys/Chews
Garage Bags

YOU CAN HELP!
ADOPTING—For pets near you, check out: www.petfinder.com or www.adoptapet.com or www.dogsindanger.com
Don’t buy while others die. You’re new best friend is closer than you realize.
FOSTERING—You can take a dog or cat into your home for a period of time (1 week to a few months). You take care of them and give them the extra time they need until they find a home of their own. Many animals are very adoptable but are in high-kill shelters where they only have 3 days to find a home. Most just need more time to find their new family. This is a very rewarding experience to know YOU were the reason they are alive.
TRANSPORTING—These volunteer “legs” (usually 45 minutes to 1½ hour each way) are the difference between life and death for most animals. Many shelters down south put to sleep 250 dogs per week. It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. Many rescues up north have the room and can rescue these dogs; it’s just a matter of getting people/families to volunteer to drive a leg. Each leg varies according to area, availability of transporters, and rescues. How it works is a coordinator sets up a run sheet that they send out with a route on it, people volunteer for the leg in their area that best fits into their schedule or their hearts. If you want to sign up please go to: http://www.roadwarriors.350.com/Sign_up.htm
SUPPLY DRIVE—We collect old blankets, towels, sheets; small, medium & large dog collars, leashes; carriers/crates; dog food; dog beds; and monetary donations for vet bills (spay/neuter).
FUNDRAISING—We are always looking for people to help with events and even plan them.
Thousands of animals are saved each month by a network of rescuers who work together.
Please join us and help make a HUGE difference!
