Time To Celebrate!

December 4, 2017

We had a great week celebrating #GivingTuesday and would like to thank everyone who gave their time and donations to us and so many other wonderful animal rescue organziations! We appreciate all the love and support given individually and the businesses who help make our animal rescue flights possible! Every act of kindness, big or small, makes a difference. When everyone gets together for an important cause, there can be amazing results, like the results we received during our Five-Year Anniversary fundraiser.

On August 2^nd, we announced we’ve been operational for five years. To celebrate, we started a fundraising campaign to save 1,000 more animal lives this year. Originally, our goal was to raise $25,000, but with everyone’s donations, large and small, we received a total of $31,280. With the funds and everyone’s support, we were able to save more abandoned animals this year and have been able to save a total of 8,037 lives in the last five years!

Giving Tuesday was influential for us and we appreciate the support given so we can continue to fly more animals to safety, but another day celebrated this week was National Mutt Day. It is a day where we get to celebrate mixed breed dogs and help save them from homelessness. Even though it isn’t National Mutt Day anymore, we encourage everyone to visit their local shelter and consider adopting an adorable mutt.

Adoption Update:

“My Sweet Piper cabe by way of the Dog Is My CoPilot to Montana and I’m so glad she did! We were destined to find each other. We adopted three rescue dogs from the Humane Society of Western Montana. Two lab mixes, Timber and Derby. One miniature pinscher mix, Piper, who came via DIMCP!”

Thank you- Chelsea Argo & Family

#GivingTuesday

November 26, 2017

After all the shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, DIMC is participating in the global movement Giving Tuesday which was started to encourage everyone to give to charities and back to their community. Giving Tuesday is powered through social media by using #GivingTuesday on Twitter and Facebook to help bring more people together and motivate them to give their time, donations, and voice this holiday season. Please help us celebrate this global movement by giving what you can so we can continue to fly and transport more animals to safety where they will find their forever homes.

To help us this season, you can donate at www.dogcopilot2.wpengine.com/donate or follow us on social media. Any amount you are willing to give helps us continue to save animals from being euthanized. If you are unable to donate, you can help us raise awareness for the animals who need our help by following and interacting with DIMC through social media.

Another way you can help us continue saving lives is through Paw Packz. If you are still looking for gifts this holiday season, visit www.pawpackz.com and check out their bottle cap magnet sets and singles with images supporting animal rescue and the DIMC logo. Paw Packz will donate 20% of their sales, making it a fun way to contribute while getting a cute gift for your friends or family!

You could also give by finishing all of your other holiday shopping on www.smileamazon.com and selecting DIMC as your charitable organization. Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchases so you will be able to get all of your holiday purchases done while donating at the same time.

Tis’ the season of giving and whether you give through donations, your holiday shopping, or getting involved on social media, it makes a difference. By getting involved with this movement and DIMC, you can help save animal lives. If you would like to learn more about Giving Tuesday, please visit http://www.givingtuesday.org/.

Adoption Update!

Lucky was flown on one of our rescue flights and here is a note from Lucky’s new mom and dad!

“I love this little dog. He was on the flight to Eureka, MT from Phoenix, AZ. We are pretty blessed to have him, he is a great dog!”

So Much to Be Thankful For!

November 19, 2017

With the holiday season right around the corner, we are reminded of all the things we are thankful for. We would not be able to accomplish everything without our supporters who help make our flights possible. We are also thankful for our wonderful partners who help give these animals a second chance at a better life.

Lastly, we are grateful for all the people who open their homes and adopt these homeless dogs and cats. Without everyone, animals like this cute, young poodle mix would not find their forever home.

Due to overcrowding, this dog was among 50 animals to be transported out of the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control shelter in Phoenix, Arizona. Once the animals were counted and getting ready to depart, it was discovered this dog was going to be DIMC’s 8,000^thpassenger. Judy Zimet, Co-Founder and Board Member of DIMC, then gave him his name Phoenix. This name symbolizes where he came from, but also how he was given the opportunity to start a new life. Phoenix was delivered to the Humane Society of Western Montana where he found a loving family to foster him. A few days later, they decided to adopt him, and he found his forever home.

This holiday season, we encourage everyone to get involved with their local shelter or DIMC to help animals get their chance at starting a new life, like Phoenix did. If you have an opening in your home, please consider adopting from your local shelter. If you cannot adopt, think about fostering an animal until someone can adopt them. If you cannot do either, then please reach out to see if there is any way you can volunteer. We understand that life gets busy, so if you aren’t able to do any of those, please donate to your local shelter or DIMC. Anything you can give makes a difference in these animals’ lives and would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, thank you to all our supporters and partners that help us accomplish so much! We would not have been able to do it without you and we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
