Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary

What Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary does

Flying B Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 99-1449646) founded in December 2023 by Carolyn Taylor (Baker) in memory of her late husband Tom Baker. The organization is headquartered outside Ennis, Texas, approximately 30 minutes south of Downtown Dallas, and operates primarily in Ellis County and the southern Dallas-Fort Worth area — a rural region of approximately 800 square miles with zero existing shelter infrastructure. Flying B rescues abandoned, stray, and surrendered dogs, provides foster care through a community network, operates a permanent senior dog sanctuary for dogs unlikely to be adopted, and runs a 'Snip It in the Bud' spay/neuter voucher program in partnership with Noah's Paws. The organization also coordinates large-scale emergency responses to animal cruelty and hoarding cases alongside partners including Ferris Animal Services, American Humane, and RedRover.

The organization's core programs consist of: a Dog Rescue & Adoption program, a Foster Care Program that also supports owners in crisis, a Senior Sanctuary for end-of-life dog care, and the Snip It in the Bud spay/neuter prevention program. Flying B recently purchased a five-acre property intended to become a permanent Animal Welfare Campus shared with Ferris Animal Services, featuring climate-controlled barns, mama dog cottages, a training center, cat space, healing center, and adoption center. The organization employs 1-10 people, uses ShelterLuv for adoption processing, and supports out-of-state transport via Pilots N Paws and other animal transport partners.

The revenue model is donation-driven, with public contributions accepted via GiveButter, Zelle, gift cards, and wish lists. Supplementary revenue is generated through adoption fees ranging from $275-$575 per dog (covering medical care, vaccinations, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter), a $150 refundable puppy spay/neuter deposit, and merchandise sales via the Bonfire platform and Amazon Shop. Marketing relies on organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), content on flyingbrescue.org, community events, and word-of-mouth through volunteer and adopter networks.
