mission statement
"Helping people
help pets". To better the lives of sick, injured
and abused companion animals. We are dedicated to insure
that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because
their caretaker is financially challenged.
To educate on the importance of spay
and neuter in relation the proven health risks for animals
who have not been spayed or neutered.
The advancements made in veterinary
medicine is astounding. New procedures are being
discovered more frequently than ever. Our companions
are living longer, healthier lives than might have been
possible a decade ago.
These advancements come with a hefty
price tag. Veterinarians have to charge according
to the service they provide. A very large portion
of the public cannot afford to take advantage of this
new technology. Simply stated -- they don't have
the money. Their companion either continues to suffer,
or they die. It shouldn't be that way.
This is where IMOM and other organizations
come in. We will always do everything we can to
help remove the money barrier standing between your companion
and their health.
Since IMOM was founded in 1998 a small
group of dedicated volunteers have worked tirelessly to
achieve seemingly impossible goals. IMOM had no
mentors -- no other organizations to pattern ourselves
after. No one was doing what we wanted to do for
sick, injured and abused companion animals. We had to
turn our focus to the one tool we all possessed.
That tool was a strong desire to help people help pets.
We stayed focused and we made it work!
IMOM has no corporate sponsors. Our
funds have always came from private donors. Ordinary
people who are willing to reach out and give someone's
pet the chance they deserve to live a long, healthy life.
I suppose that makes them not so ordinary after all!
In the Fall of 2008 we received our
first grant! We are very appreciative of PetSmart
Charities for their trust in IMOM. Grant money will
be used for life threatening emergencies.
Our grant money was spent in a matter of weeks.
Every pet helped was in a life threatening crisis.
There were 16 companion animals helped. Our grant
was for $10,000. You can see the grant report on
our financials page.
My heartfelt thanks go out to all
our volunteers and supporters. More than 1660 companion
animals are alive and pain free today because of you.
You have made my dream a reality.
For the animals,
Jacki Hadra - IMOM Founder
