ABOUT
About Veterinary Mission of Mercy
Veterinary Mission of Mercy (VMOM) is a faith-inspired nonprofit dedicated to providing free, compassionate veterinary care for animals belonging to U.S. Veterans, Active Duty service members, and their families.
Inspired by the compassion of Mother Teresa and the sacred dignity of all creation, VMOM was founded on the belief that serving animals in need uplifts and honors their owners, especially those who have served our nation.
Founded by Dr. Anthony C. Bostick, a U.S. Army veteran and veterinarian, and joined in leadership by Dr. Howard Gobble, a veterinarian with decades of service in both civilian and military veterinary medicine, VMOM is led by a team of veterans who continue their service by caring for the animals that support fellow Veterans and Active Duty families.
Our mission extends to pets, farm animals, and working animals that provide companionship, food security, and livelihood for Veterans and Active Duty families.
Through Veterinary Mission Outreach Events held in donated community spaces, at military locations, and in rural venues, we bring veterinary care directly to Veterans and Active Duty service members without judgment, paperwork barriers, or cost—ensuring that no animal suffers due to poverty or hardship.
