TAIL Receives Critical Donation from $OSCAR Community to Support Nearly 400 Aspins

Team Aspin of Iloilo (TAIL), a non-governmental organization dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and advocating for local Filipino dogs, affectionately known as aspins, has received a timely and impactful donation from the global $OSCAR Token community. This support is directed specifically toward providing food for the nearly 400 aspins currently under TAIL’s care — over 200 of which live at the “Home of TAIL,” the personal residence of the founder, with the remainder looked after by volunteers across the region.

The donation comes as part of the $OSCAR community’s broader philanthropic effort to deliver one million meals to abandoned dogs globally, a campaign already in motion and supported through strategic partnerships and grassroots collaborations. TAIL joins a growing network of beneficiaries, including international partners such as K9 Rescue in Ukraine.

“Their support is a game-changer, directly enabling us to feed nearly 400 aspins who depend on us daily,” said Ma. Guia Matunding, Founder of TAIL. “With over 200 dogs residing at our personal home, which we call the ‘Home of TAIL,’ and many others being cared for by our dedicated volunteers in their own residences, this donation from the $OSCAR Token community directly addresses one of our most pressing needs: providing consistent, nutritious meals.”

This collaboration beautifully exemplifies how a global digital community can unite with a local organization for a common, compassionate goal.”

The $OSCAR Token project is a decentralized, community-driven cryptocurrency initiative committed to charitable causes — with a primary focus on supporting abandoned dogs. The group’s core belief is that as little as $0.50 can feed a dog, and they prioritize direct, transparent donations to trusted rescues like TAIL.

RYU, the pseudonymous lead of the $OSCAR Token community, emphasized the importance of direct impact:

“We are incredibly proud to support the vital work of Team Aspin of Iloilo. Our mission at $OSCAR is to make a tangible impact on the lives of abandoned dogs worldwide, and seeing our community’s efforts directly provide hundreds of meals to aspins in the Philippines is truly rewarding. This is exactly the kind of direct, impactful support we aim to facilitate.”

The donation will have an immediate and lasting impact, allowing TAIL to strengthen its core programs:

• Consistent Feeding: Ensures that hundreds of rescued aspins receive the regular nutrition they need to recover and thrive.

• Expanded Rescue Operations: Frees up resources to respond to urgent calls for rescues of stray, injured, or abused dogs.

• Improved Veterinary Care: Supports treatments, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services essential to long-term canine health.

• Enhanced Foster Program: Eases the burden on foster homes by covering food needs, allowing volunteers to focus on rehabilitation and care.

• Community Education: Empowers TAIL to continue outreach on responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

TAIL emphasized that partnerships like this are not only life-saving but also proof that meaningful impact can happen when local action meets global support.
