I may be moving but I’ll never be out of rescue. It’s in my soul. Had this pup fixed and now off the streets and to safety. ♥️

PLEASE, If you're a citizen of Glenn Heights, take an hour out of your day and attend the city council meeting. Let the city know how important the Animal Shelter is to your community. Let them know how necessary it is to build a new, functioning shelter for the homeless animals that are over populating your city streets. Let them know how imperative it is to have at least 2 knowledgeable ACO's at the shelter so it runs smoothly, and the animals are able to be taken care of, and the shelter duties are able to be completed. There are to many balls getting dropped, and things are getting swept under the rug that need to be addressed. The shelter is being treated as an after thought, and it's not ok.

The standing sewage behind the shelter, and the mold growing on the walls and the ceiling inside the shelter building are both health risks for people and animals. If the city refuses to do anything about this, the health department will need to be notified. This is a very toxic situation. We have been made aware by citizens visiting the shelter for meet and greets that they were very concerned by the conditions they had witnessed and had planned to reach out to the media for help. They felt it was so bad that it could lead to serious health problems, even death if people and animals were exposed to it for a lengthy period of time.

This is not how we want our shelter to be portrayed. We want people to walk in and feel a sense of warmth, home, love... We want the animals to feel the same thing while in the care of our city shelter. Right now that is not what's going on. Monica does her best, but she is only 1 person. There's only so much she can do on the schedule, budget, location, and rules she is given. We need to stand behind her and be her army! Without our support she has nothing.

It's almost time to vote for new city council members. It has been made very clear that out of the 6 city council members only 1 of those members supports the animal shelter and making things better! 1 member has a heart when it comes to homeless animals, animals who have been failed by their irresponsible owners, and giving them a safe place to stay until a home or reputable rescue can be found. 1 council member out of 6! It's time to make some changes! You have the ability to shake things up and get a whole new council. You need to be in the know. You have new people running who have the same goals as we do when it comes to the shelter. People who want to see change, and who will make those changes happen! All you have to do is vote!!! Do your research on the new candidates. We will keep you updated.

In order to be a top notch, progressive, city, you need to build, and grow in all areas. The police have a brand new police station (yet for some reason the shelter is still storing a bunch of their stuff so we still can't utilize all of the space we desperately need for animals). The community has a brand new community center for all to enjoy. The city is constantly having parties and community events to bring the citizens together, yet for some reason the shelter is still being ignored.

We really need your support at these meetings. PLEASE, we aren't asking for you to spend your day there, just an hour. Community involvement is key to making things happen in your area. There's only so much we can do, we need you to lock it in! We are all in this together. Thank you as always for being part of our little village. 🐾💕

We are over the moon to announce a new initiative we're launching to address the animal overpopulation crisis we're facing in Ellis County and in Texas in general. We have started a campaign to raise $7500 to reserve a full day of Dehart Veterinary Services in Ennis. When we reach our goal, we will be able to spay/neuter up to 100 pets!

We aren't going to rescue or rehome our way out of this mess - we need to Snip It in the Bud! We are also looking for corporate sponsors so please share this with your employer and co-workers!

Go to www.flyingbrescue.org/community to donate to this campaign.

I’m a sucker for the shepherds. This beautiful Belgian Malinois is still in need. I will pledge to have her spayed.

How is this beautiful girl still in the shelter?

😭 Sweet Lucy needs a home after losing her owner to cancer.

🆘 These two boys were found after being dumped by the lake in Quinlan. There is no animal control there… the finder (a rescue friend of mine) cannot keep them. She got them off the streets so they won’t be run over or shot, but they need a place to go by Tuesday. I’ll gladly help with vetting. Please…. Does anyone have room for these two? 💔

Ellis County Animal Rescue will be closing. All donated items will be donated to other wonderful local rescues and shelters. Thank you all for your support for helping these animals. I have big changes in my personal life, and will be moving. My children come first, and this is the best for us.
I will continue to support other rescues and shelters.
Every animal I have rescued is special. It has been an unbelievable amount of work, sometimes with much joy, sometimes with much sadness.
I will miss my funny farm so much.
In moving, of course I will be taking my sanctuary pets. They have a forever home with me.
The Photos are just some of the wonderful rescues I’ve had come through my doors. I feel so fortunate that we could do so much to help them. Please consider fostering, adopting and donating to other local rescues so they can continue to help so many animals!

SAFE ♥️ Little pup is in need! 🆘

07/30/2024

We could tell you how sweet he is but why dont you see for yourself. Becuase once you meet him he will definitely win you over with his charm. He is vaccinated and chipped though, his owner never picked him up from the shelter. This guy is short and stocky and loves to go on walks. He loves his blankets and playing with his buddies. If you would like to give him a chance please contact the Glenn Heights Animal Shelter at 214-837-9255 or visit at 550 E Bear Creek Glenn Heights TX 75154.

This little guy needs a place to go asap!

Look at this adorable blue eyed pup! Blizzard (Blizz) is at the Glenn Heights Animal Shelter desperately looking for a rescue or home. Please consider saving this boy!

07/26/2024

Little dogs! Both are under 10lbs. They need a hero ❤️

PUPDATE: adopted together!! ♥️

😔 Where are your tissues? 😢

These 2 adorable little babes found themselves as strays. One (older male) was estimated to be about 4-5 years old. He was scanned for a chip and thankfully he had one! 🎉 he had been missing for 10 YEARS so we now believe he’s about 12 years old!!! We asked if they wanted to come get him - but they said NO THEY CANT GET HIM AND THEY HOPE HE FINDS A GOOD HOME! 😔😭 His friend is a younger female (possibly a daughter or just a companion) who seems to be about 2-3 years young. She follows him everywhere and they wanted to share a kennel even when we tried to separate them so they are kenneled together. This shelter can be a scary place when you’re alone and can’t see.

We are looking for a rescue or foster or adoptive home for these 2! We would LOVE to see them go together but understand that may not be possible. Please contact us today if you would like to meet these 2! We are naming them Johnny and June!

Adopted!!!! ♥️
Gwen has been completely vetted and ready to adopt! I hate that she had to return to the crowded shelter. Someone needs this sweetheart!

This beautiful female Malinois is available for rescue, foster or adoption now!
