As summer begins, our team at Dog Is My CoPilot continues to fly at full capacity, transporting shelter pets from overcrowded communities to areas where loving families are waiting to adopt.
This month marks my birthday, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than helping save more lives. Right now, every gift is being matched dollar for dollar—up to $50,000—thanks to a generous supporter and his dog, Abba.
Hello from the cockpit! Every flight represents a second chance for the animals on board and for the communities working so hard to save them. It’s been a busy few months for our team.
It’s been a busy start to 2026! So far, we’ve completed 20 flights and transported nearly 1,000 animals to safety. Every flight represents dozens of lives given another chance, dogs and cats moving from overcrowded shelters to communities where families are waiting to welcome them home.
As we’ve been busy with flight missions across the country, we wanted to take a moment to share a quick update on what you have helped make possible. Our team has been flying two aircraft, completing dozens of lifesaving missions, and helping hundreds of dogs and cats reach safety and loving homes nationwide.
As 2025 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible year we’ve had at Dog Is My CoPilot and it’s all thanks to our extraordinary pilots, team members, shelter and rescue partners, and generous supporters like you.
On Saturday, October 4th, the Driggs Reed Memorial Airport was buzzing with joy as a Dog Is My CoPilot (DIMC) rescue flight landed carrying more than 60 dogs. The plane’s arrival marked a special celebration, DIMC received a $40,000 gift from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, the Vodka for Dog People, to support El Paso transport flights and DIMC’s Pilot Training Program.
As the seasons change, we wanted to take a moment to share an update from Dog Is My CoPilot (DIMC). It’s been a busy year, and we’ll be flying through the winter, thanks to our incredible team, our rescue and shelter partners, and supporters like YOU!
At Dog Is My CoPilot, every flight we take is a mission of love and last month was no exception. While we were responding to the catastrophic floods in Central Texas, helping move shelter pets out of harm’s way, we also celebrated a major milestone: flying our 40,000th passenger to safety.
We’re proud to once again partner with the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole for Old Bill’s Fun Run, and this year, our hearts are full of gratitude for the local heroes making it all possible.
