Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is a nonprofit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving and caring for abandoned and stray animals, primarily in Ellis County and the surrounding areas in Texas. The organization focuses on rescuing homeless dogs from rural and urban environments, providing shelter, rehabilitation, and ultimately finding them permanent, loving homes.

History and Mission

Founded in honor of Tom Baker, who passed away in 2023, Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary was established to fulfill a vision of compassionate animal care inspired by a profound love of animals. The organization is committed to saving lives one animal at a time by rescuing, fostering, and offering sanctuary to dogs in need. Its mission centers on promoting responsible pet ownership and transforming lives through connection and care[5].

Programs and Services

Rescue

Flying B actively rescues stray and abandoned animals from the streets and rural areas of Ellis County and south Dallas-Fort Worth. The organization witnesses the frequent abandonment of pets in the country and provides these animals with immediate shelter and medical care until they can be rehomed.

Foster Program

In addition to direct rescue efforts, Flying B partners with other rescue groups to provide short-term foster homes for dogs on their way to adoption. They also support organizations that temporarily care for dogs in need of shelter.

Senior Sanctuary

Recognizing the special needs of senior dogs, especially those surrendered due to the cost or inconvenience of care, Flying B provides a loving sanctuary environment where older animals can live out their remaining years comfortably and happily.

Funding and Adoption

As a donation-based rescue, Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary does not receive public funding. Their adoption process includes a tax-deductible adoption fee designed to support the care and rehabilitation of their animals. Adoption fees vary, with dogs under seven years typically adopted for a fee of $400[2].

Partnerships and Impact

Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is a recognized partner of Best Friends Animal Society, joining a national network dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats in communities across the United States. Through collaboration, advocacy, and community engagement, Flying B contributes to increasing lifesaving efforts and promoting animal welfare throughout Texas[4].

Vision

The organization strives to build a future where every animal is valued and cherished, advocating for compassionate treatment and responsible pet ownership. Through rescue, foster care, and sanctuary programs, Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary transforms the lives of animals and inspires change within its community.
