Your gift will be DOUBLED, our good friend Abba the dog is matching your gift up to $10,000. Your generosity will have twice the impact and help us provide more than 100 rescue flights at no charge to our partner shelters in 2023! We will be saving the lives of more than 5,000 dogs and cats. Our rescue flights are free of charge to our partner shelters and we have flown more than 25,000 dogs and cats who landed in HOMES, thanks to the support of donors like you. Will you support us today with a donation?
We just purchased a second airplane to transport twice as many adoptable pets from overcrowded shelters to new adoption partners across the US. To celebrate our new plane, the first $25,000 of gifts will be matched!
Your donation to Dog Is My CoPilot goes straight to work helping thousands of animals. For dogs and cats waiting in shelters to find families of their own, our expansion will change their life. Abba and her dad have generously stepped fowaard to match evey gift dollar-for-dollar- up to an incrediable $25,000! Please join us and make a lifesaving gift to help us stay ‘Wheels Up’.
It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the passing of our friend, Steve Coopersmith. Steve was an enthusiastic supporter of Dog Is My CoPilot from our inception. He lived his life being a part of the solution, having fostered and adopting many dogs during his all too brief time on this Earth. Steve accompanied me on rescue flights, pitching in as a part of the team, which he was. His beautiful wife, Karin, helps tremendously with the writing of hundreds of thank you notes for our donors.
Our hearts go out to Karin, family and friends as Steve will be sorely missed. Karen has asked that donations be made to Dog Is My CoPilot as a tribute to Steve. Donate online here >
We are a nonprofit committed to transporting animals from communities with overcrowded municipal shelters to animal adoption centers and families waiting to adopt a new pet.
We believe that collaboration with individual animal shelters and adoption organizations, which manage the placement of animals in their local communities, is key to saving more lives!
