Outreach

Through our sponsorships with local and national organizations we are able to meet, work with and develop relationships with others who are passionate about similar causes.  And we’re given the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, our values, our beliefs and the views of the world in which we live.

Why give back to our community?  Because we care. 

Best Friends Animal Shelter
 Best Friends is working to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets.  The mission of Best friends is driven by the simple philosophy that kindness to animals helps build a better world for all of us.  The sanctuary, at the heart of the Southern Utah’s Golden Circle of national parks, is home, on any given day, to about 1,500 dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds and other animals.  And Best Friends reaches across the nation, helping humane groups, individual people and entire communities to set up spay/neuter, shelters, foster and adoption programs in their own neighborhoods, cities and states.

The work of Best Friends is supported entirely through the donations of their members and supporters.  Through the generous hearts and hands of people, Best Friends ensures that animals who come into their care will never again be alone, hungry, sick, afraid or in pain.  IMS donates a portion of its revenue to Best Friends and has since the company was founded.  We are Golden Circle members of the organization and operate a Friends of Best Friends pet network to help find homes for needy animals.  To learn more about Best Friends, visit www.bestfriends.org.
