SNIP IT IN THE BUD
Flying B Rescue remains committed to the health and welfare of the animals in Ellis County. We’ve partnered with Dehart Veterinary Services to provide the valuable spay/neuter and wellness services our community needs to start making a real dent in the animal overpopulation crisis we’re facing.
​
Generally, basic spay and neuter services cost less than $150 at a low-cost provider, but we understand that can still be a stretch for some families. When pets aren’t spayed or neutered, accidental litters happen—and before long, the problem multiplies.
​
To help prevent that cycle, we’re offering free spay/neuter vouchers for Ellis County residents who need financial assistance to get their pets fixed.
If cost has been the barrier, we’re here to help. Fixing your pet protects their health and is one of the most important steps we can take together to reduce unwanted litters in our community.
​
