More time working from home gives pet owners more time with their four-legged companions. According to The Washington Post, beginning mid-March, “Shelters, nonprofit rescues, private breeders, pet stores—all reported more consumer demand than there were dogs and puppies to fill it.” And the team from Dog is My Copilot is working to ensure there is enough furry, four-legged-love to go around.

DIMC decreases the number of animals killed in shelters and increases shelter adoption by flying groups of animals to areas where they are more adoptable. DIMC works with established nonprofit animal rescue organizations to coordinate flights. By flying animals out of areas where they are at risk of euthanasia due to overpopulation problems, not only do the animal passengers find a furever family, but DIMC creates more space in the shelters for animals who would have otherwise been euthanized.
