As a dog lover, owner, and a NJ certified Animal Cruelty Investigator, the concept of relocating endangered dogs from kill shelters to non- kill shelters and forever homes was beyond appealing, and Matt Kiener too was smitten. The need for puppy transports grew so much, Matt and I started a 501c3, FlyPups Inc. to better serve these desperate dogs. As a founding member I have served on the board of directors, and long to contribute more as a pilot.
FlyPups is dedicated to transporting dogs from desperate situations to non-kill shelters where they can be nurtured and prepared for adoption. The utilization of aircraft to transport dogs decreases the travel time in some cases from days on the road to hours in the air. Often the dogs being transported, while safe to travel, have been through circumstances rendering them fragile and the stresses of a lengthy road trip could compromise their physical and emotional health. Our desire is to deliver these dogs safely and efficiently to those shelters prepared to welcome them as they begin their new lives.
FlyPups, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization comprised of volunteers, and is funded solely by donations.
