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 Vanessa at vnero323@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:

Max: 8 yr old chocolate male, neutered, docked tail and uncropped ears. 16", 15.3 lb. Fully vetted. Rescued from shelter.
Say hi to Max! Max's owner passed away and a relative dropped him off at a shelter. Max is diabetic and hadn't received insulin in at least a few days. His blood sugar was very high and he's very thin. Unfortunately, the diabetes took his sight too. He's on a strict insulin schedule and getting plenty of good, diabetic friendly grub now. Despite everything he's been through, Max is happy, funny, sweet, loving, and an all around good boy! He gets along with other dogs and cats too! Do you have room in your home and your heart for a sweet boy with some special needs?
Note: Max is located in Summerfield, FL - and we will not fly this boy.

Tommy: 8 yr old black & tan male, neutered, undocked tail and uncropped ears. 10 lb. Fully vetted. Rescued from shelter.
Tommy is an 8 year old special boy. He has exhibited that he WANTS attention. He will rub up against you wanting his head and back scratched. He's a very observant boy, he is very curious and alert. Due to his condition, long walks are not in his future, afternoon naps and laying in the sun are right up his alley!
Tommy was surrendered to the SPCA and had been in a shelter for over 3 months when IMPS picked him up. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, rabies, and dental. He has Kyphosis and Spondylolysis which has a severe effect on his spine.
From what we have observed so far, he is very shy around new people and surroundings. He currently has issues with people getting too close too soon and will growl. But as he gets more comfortable, he has started to come up to us, nudge us asking for human interaction, petting, back scratching and has even rolled over asking for belly rubs. He seems to prefer women over men. These behaviors might very well be from his containment with very little interaction. He is not fond of being picked up, which may be because of his spine issues and causes him pain.
Also to note, due to his condition, it is extremely recommended to not be around children, and very early observations show best a home without cats. He wants to be friends with other dogs his size as long as they are friendly towards him.
Tommy will need a dedicated pet parent to live out the rest of his life with who are patient and understanding to his needs. We would prefer someone who works at home or is retired so he can get the attention he needs.

Note: Tommy is located in Odessa, FL - and we will not fly this boy.
