Green Team:

Staff attended a regularly scheduled business meeting of the Flagler Audubon Society. The purpose was to promote

and seek volunteers the February 6-8 Birds of a Feather Festival. In addition, staff also assisted in the promotion of the

event at the Wings and Wildflowers festival in Lake County on Saturday.

During two separate events, staff hosted inspections of Linear

Park and Long Creek Nature Preserve (LCNP). The first event

hosted Florida Communities Trust staff to inspect both parks for

grant compliance. The other event was focused on LCNP and

hosted Florida Department Environmental Protection (DEP)

regulatory staff. The purpose of this meeting was to seek

guidance on mangrove management and to identify best

management practices for landscape maintenance. DEP is

assisting City staff with taking a proactive approach with the

recruitment of mangroves along City shorelines. Three species

of mangroves (red, white and black) are known to Florida and

dually known to exist in our region with black mangroves being

most prominent.

Palm Coast Parkway 6-Laning

Make sure your pet has proper identification at all times. Dogs can run off from after

being given a bath and their owners forgot to put their collar back on. Many pets have old

or outdated information on their tags and microchips. This causes the pet to not be able to

be returned home. Be sure to keep your pets information updated and collars on at all

times if not microchipped.

New FHS hours: Monday – Saturday from 10am-5pm and NOW Sundays from 11am-

4pm.

Donation Opportunities: “Doghouse Donation Boxes” are found at all the fire stations

in Flagler County. You can drop off donations anytime at your nearest fire station. FHS

appreciates all donations, especially those from our Wish List (available at

link on the FHS website and ship them directly to the shelter.

Successful Outreach Adoption Events: We meet a lot of nice people at the 2014

Creekside Festival this past weekend. FHS had adoptable pets onsite and they were

grateful for the day out in the fresh air!

FHS was also in Jacksonville at the fairgrounds this past weekend for the Mega Adoption

Event. We were onsite with at least 60 adoptable pets per day. FHS were fortunate that 52

dogs and cats were able to find forever loving homes. These events are life savers!!!

Don’t forget that FHS have volunteers and adoptable pets at the Farmer’s Market in

Flagler Beach every Friday and at PetSmart in Palm Coast every Sunday. Come and see

Howard and his crew to adopt your next furry family member!

Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: We hope to see you at this month’s “Howl-O-Ween”

9pm. We have added an extra HOUR of fun! You can get advance tickets at Turtle Shack

Café. Tickets are a $10 donation and include appetizers and a sangria or beer. Don’t

forget to dress yourself and your pet in your best Halloween Costume to be eligible to

Information on events to benefit our homeless

animals can be found on our website,

Katie and Bella

Katie is a 7 year old spayed

female beagle and Bella is an 8

year old spayed female beagle.

They are housemates that came in

to the shelter as owner surrenders.

They were given up because of

landlord issues. They would love

to be adopted together as they

have grown fond of each other

over the years. They are sweet

and loving girls that are no

trouble at all. They would love a

forever home as they are not the

type to thrive in a shelter

environment. Come and meet

these sweeties today!
