Frequently asked questions

Why be a flight angel?

Being a Flight Angel with Morocco Flight Angels is an incredible way to help a Moroccan Beldi stray find its forever home in the United States. Morocco faces a critical stray dog crisis, with shelters and rescuers constantly overwhelmed. Every dog we transport off the streets means another can be saved from hardship. That said, being a Flight Angel is a vital and essential step in rescuing these precious animals! Please step up to save lives—the dogs (and their rescuers) need your support!

Is Morocco Flight Angels a Rescue Network?

No, Morocco Flight Angels works with rescuers in Morocco and the United States by pairing Beldi stray dogs in need with air travelers willing to transport them from Morocco to their new homes. Moroccan Flight Angels is not a rescue organization itself.

How Does it Work?

Once you complete the reservation form, if a Beldi stray dog requires transport to your destination, we’ll pair you with a rescuer. The rescuer will manage all reservation details and initiate a text chat to arrange a meeting at the airport, where they’ll hand over your charming flight companion, along with the necessary paperwork and pet carrier—typically 3.5 hours before your departure.

You will then check the animal in at the airline counter and the airline will tag the pet carrier. At security, you will remove the animal from the carrier and carry it through the metal detector. The carrier will need to go through the x-ray machine the same as any carry-on bag would.

When boarding the plane, the little buddy will need to be inside the carrier then placed under the seat* in front of you as a carry on. The animal must remain inside the carrier the entire flight. A volunteer or adopter will meet you at the airport to pick up your fur companion.

*Exit rows, bulkhead seats, and lie-flat seats in first class cannot accommodate pets.

Will I have to pay to be a Morocco Flight Angel?

No. The rescuer/ adopter will pay for the pet fee* and even make the reservation! They will also provide the pet carrier and other supplies so there is zero cost to you.

*Some airlines require payment at the time of pet reservation and others require payment at check-in counter. Either way, the rescuer/ adopter will pay the airline pet fee.

Am I guaranteed to be a Morocco Flight Angel?

No. We must have an adopter, rescue partner, or foster in your destination that can pick up the animal. You will only be contacted if you can be matched.

What if my flight has a layover?

Not a problem! This will give you an opportunity to let your flight buddy out to stretch and relieve itself (please use pee pads and not the pet relief areas).

If your layover is longer than 3 hours, your layover city could be the final destination for your flight buddy. You would need to exit the airport to meet the volunteer picking up the animal and then re-enter through security. We do not recommend leaving the airport with a layover less than 3 hours.

What if my flight is cancelled?

Unfortunately flight cancelations happen from time to time. We get it! If your flight is canceled, let your rescuer know so arrangements can be made to pick your flight buddy up. If you are able to care for your buddy for a few hours or overnight, even better! More likely than not, you’ll have a blast bonding and playing with your new bud and will create a unique, happy memory!

Why shouldn't my flight buddy use the pet relief area at the airport?

Airport pet relief areas are ok for older dogs with strong immune systems. However, for puppies that are growing and have not fully developed, pet relief areas could be life threatening as they’re full of germs and potential viruses and bacteria.

What if my buddy goes to the bathroom inside the carrier?

This is rare since they are on restricted food and water intake before traveling and most animals will never go to the bathroom inside their carriers. Additionally, pee pads are provided for relief while you wait to board your flight (please do NOT, do NOT, use the airport pet relief areas). However, an accident does happen on occasion. If it does, the carriers are absorbent and poop bags and potty pads are provided to use if needed. Most accidents can be addressed by the volunteer picking the fur baby up so you will not need to worry.

Do you fly buddies that are too large to fit inside a pet carrier in the cabin?

At this time, no. Unfortunately, larger dogs anything over 17 pounds must fly cargo which is a more complicated endeavor.

I found a stray animal I want to help. Can Morocco Flight Angels Take it?

Unfortunately, Morocco is riddled with homeless dogs and cats but Morocco Flight Angels is NOT a rescue and cannot take in animals. We recommend reaching out to rescuers in our assocation list but please be prepared to be told they cannot help as rescues are perpetually full! Additionally, do not bring your dog to a Moroccan city shelter as dogs die there. They are high kill shelters so dropping off a stray to a municipal shelter will almost guarantee its death!

If you are able to provide or arrange a forever home to your new fur friend, Moroccan dogs make the best family members! But please see to it it’s a FOREVER HOME and proceed to the following question on what to do next.

*Please note that some strays are actually someone’s pet that got away.

I fell in love with a stray what do I do?

Congratulations! This is a game changer for your sweet fur buddy! A couple of things we first must point out is that adopting a pet requires your full commitment and responsibility. Cute little puppies may grow up to be 60 pound dogs. Are you ok with that? You will need to commit the time, energy, have the proper home and family environment, and the financial resources to care for your pet.

*Please note that some strays are actually someone’s pet that got away.

If you are absolutely sure your animal does not belong to anyone else and you are fully committed to caring for it the entirety of its life, awesome! Next question would be: is the animal small enough to fit inside a pet travel carrier? If so, the travel process is rather simple, so here are some recommendations:

Morocco is a high risk country for Rabies. To bring the dog to the USA follow these directions.
