Sponsorships...

The face of rescue has changed dramatically since IMPS began in 1998, especially over the past 8-10 years. Shelters adopt more pets directly to the public, and have partnerships with large organizations to get healthy adoptable pets out of shelters. Often rescue gets called when a dog is deemed medically or behaviorally unadoptable. Our veterinary costs are rising and we struggle to keep adoptions fees reasonable. We attempted to manage this with policy changes to minimize negative cash flows, but can no longer do it with policy alone. We're in desperate need of sponsors for emergency sick or injured rescues; multi-dog breeder or hoarder busts; and returned seniors. If it's in your heart to give but fostering isn't something you can do, sponsoring a dog is the same as being there for them!

Community support: We've heard from a few donors that they like to support their local region's efforts. The best way to do that is to pick an IMPS dog in your region and ask for your donation to be credited toward him/her. How this works: Regional Coordinators are responsible to oversee the adoption donations, costs and expenses for all the dogs in their region, and this directly lowers their costs and expenses. Donations in excess of cost on one minpin helps offset costs for another where we may not be so lucky. Contact your region's RC or contact Diane at impsdiane@gmail.com to ensure your donation is credited to a minpin in your preferred area.

HERE ARE SOME SWEETHEARTS THAT NEED YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW:

Rambunctious Rowdy NEEDS your help...

Rowdy was being a rambunctious youngster on the very day of his adoption, and ate some plastic canvas that caused tears in his intestines and pancreas. Vomiting plastic and blood, he was returned and rushed to Vet ER. His emergency surgery cost over $4,000. Sections of the intestine and pancreas were removed but not before fecal matter had leaked into the abdominal cavity. Rowdy then suffered thru 2 types of gut bacterial infection. He's a strong boy with a lot of heart and came thru it just fine - in fact, we think he'll be going to his furever home soon!! We would be incredibly grateful for some help with his vet bills, which are being carried by a volunteer. Please click HERE to donate, and be sure to mention Rowdy's tag number 28697.

Ensuring Happy and Comfortable Golden Years

IMPS makes a life-long commitment to every dog we rescue... and we WILL stand by that. When one of our own is returned and needs care, there is little or no way to recover their costs.

Prissy was returned at 10 years old, depressed from being confined a little too much and seriously overweight. She went on a diet, got active and quickly dropped the pounds, but sadly, not before she developed diabetes. Today Prissy walks the trails every single morning with her foster dad and fur-siblings. Her diabetes is under control with daily insulin shots and quarterly blood sugar monitoring, which cost about $800/year. Today, we'd like to thank Bob, Maria and Diane for sponsoring a substantial portion of her testing and diabetic supplies so far. It is through their generosity that we've been able to provide Prissy a normal and happy life in her golden years. Please join them in ensuring her comfort: click HERE to donate for her care, and be sure to mention Prissy's tag number 27670.

Sweet little Lulu was rescued from a shelter where she was surrendered by a breeder at 5 years old. She is sweet and tiny, good-natured and well trained, a healthy tiny girl for her age. Under our lifelong commitment to every dog we rescue, she was returned to IMPS in 2017 at 14 years old, through no fault of her own. We had her examined by a vet, and brought vaccines, tests and preventatives up to date. IMPS placed her in a loving home with no adoption fee and a contract to share her core medical costs for the rest of her life. We have no way to recover these costs. Would you find it in your heart to sponsor this girl for her remaining time on this side of the bridge? Sponsorship is not a contract or commitment, it is whatever you choose to contribute. Please click HERE to donate, be sure to mention Lulu and her tag #26982, and forward your PayPal receipt or a brief notice to impsdiane@gmail.com to have it credited to little Lulu from Florida!

Jake was rescued from a shelter where he was turned in by his owner at 6 months old because he turned out to be the consummate escape artist! He is good-natured and tiny, now a healthy senior. Under our lifelong commitment to every dog we rescue, he was returned to IMPS in 2017 at 10 years old because his adopter went into assisted living. He was vetted and placed in a loving home with no adoption fee and a contract to share his core medical costs for the rest of his life. We have no way to recover these costs. Would you help us secure his golden years through sponsorship? Sponsorship is not a contract or commitment, it is whatever you choose to contribute. Please click HERE to donate, be sure to mention Jake and his tag #28208, and forward your PayPal receipt or a brief notice to impsdiane@gmail.com to have it credited to little Jake from Oregon!

Remy is a very sweet 10 yr old gentleman who has been adopted and returned to IMPS twice since his first time in rescue with us, through no fault of his own. His medical issues were expensive to diagnose, complicated by living with heavy smokers, and no one wanted him. Remy is blind in one eye and has hypo-thyroidism - his thyroid function was too slow and allowed him to accumulate ttoo much weight. He also had a weak bladder from age and dribbled urine. His medical costs are high from diagnostic testing to rule out potential causes, determine causes, treatment, and required blood tests every six months. He is now on lifetime meds. Help us continue to provide Remy a normal and happy life, ensuring his comfort in his golden years. We thank AnnMarie, Charlie and Linda for managing all this care, stabilizing him, and chipping in. Please click HERE to donate, and be sure to mention Remy's tag number 30208. Forward your PayPal receipt or a brief notice to impsdiane@gmail.com to have it credited to Remy, originally from Massachusetts!
