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 or 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 if we wanted to make
a difference. That tool was a strong desire to
help people help pets. We stayed focused
and we made it work!
IMOM has no 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.
My heartfelt thanks go out to all
our volunteers and supporters. More than 1470 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
