Flew The Coop ® is a charitable initiative that works in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to support non-profit partners dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and providing emergency assistance to pets in crisis.

Founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Christopher N. Harding, Flew The Coop ® was inspired by his passion for dogs and his life-changing animal adoption experience. Flew The Coop ® is named in gratitude and appreciation of Cooper, whose 2019 adoption forever changed Harding’s life and continues to inspire him today.  Check out CNN.

Current nonprofit partners include Animal HavenDogs & Cats of AntiguaKentucky Humane Society and The SATO Project, among others.
