This is the beginning of a new year – why not let this be the beginning of a whole

new life for a special homeless pet in need of a forever home. Adopting a

homeless pet is a rewarding experience and gives back to a community with so

many in need. Sometimes adopting can be a difficult experience due to some of

the animals having unknown backgrounds. FHS takes in all animals – strays and

ones from homes. Many of the animals are well behaved and have “house”

manners and then there are those that have never known what a house is. These

are the ones that when you finally get them acclimated to being a family pet are

so rewarding. Be a hero – adopt a shelter animal today.

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 flaglerhumanesociety.org/wish-list). You can also purchase items

via the Amazon.com link on the FHS website and ship them directly to the

shelter.

Outreach Adoption Events: 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! We are in need of more outreach volunteers so that

we can attend more events and get more animals seen. If you are interested,

please contact Katie DiPippo or Gary Langley at (386) 445-1814.

FHS has cats available for adoption at PetSmart on SR 100 in the Target

Shopping Complex. Adopt your next furry family member and get all the needed

supplies in one trip. Volunteers to help care for the cats are always needed and

appreciated.

Adoption Specials: Check out the FHS Facebook and look for the Pet of the

Week! This adoptable pet will have a reduced adoption fee for the week. Don’t

miss out on adopting your next furry friend.

Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: Join us for the 10th Annual Spay-Ghetti Dinner

and Silent Auction on February 22. Tickets are on sale now at the shelter for $30

per person. Start with the cash bar at 5 pm and party until 10:30 pm. A great

night of food, dancing with Debbie Owen and Tony T, and silent auction items.

This event usually sells out early so don’t delay in getting your table reserved.

Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized

spay and neuter programs for members of the community that need to have their

pets or community pets sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814, email

info@flaglerhumanesociety.org or pitbull@flaglerhumanesociety.org for

questions.

FHS has a limited amount FREE spay/neuters for Pitbulls and Pitbull mixes.

Call for more information and to book your appointment today.

FHS also offers a “Pet Food Pantry” for those that are in need of assistance.

Please call and speak to Christina Miller for the application process and

qualifications.

Remember Healy? This lovely little tortoiseshell cat, who grew up in

the Shelter since arriving in March, finally found

her forever home when she was adopted the week

following her being the Featured Pet. We love

happy endings!

personality. Come and meet this all

The nonprofit Baiata Bird Sanctuary at Nature Scapes was dedicated last year in memory of Nature Scapes owner Mary Lou Baiata, who was part of the founding committee for the Birds of a Feather Fest. The sanctuary provides a beautiful home for about 10 exotic birds including blue-fronted Amazon parrots, an orange-winged Amazon parrot, Moluccan (salmon-crested) Cockatoo, African gray parrots and a yellow-naped Amazon parrot. Volunteers care for the birds, and the sanctuary conducts classes for area children to learn about birds. The sanctuary will be open for free public tours from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.

“Because Mary Lou was a bird-lover, over the years people started leaving their birds with her if they could no longer care for them,” said her longtime friend Sandi Cipolloni, president of the sanctuary’s Board of Directors.

Registration is still open for the Birds of a Feather Fest – a weekend filled with birding field trips, classes, speakers, and non-birding family activities from which to choose. The keynote speakers include internationally known birder Greg Miller, whose story was the subject of The Big Year motion picture starring Jack Black; former President of Florida Audubon Society and environmental policy expert Clay Henderson; and avid birders Joe and Judy Dziak, who have been monitoring an eagle pair at Princess Place Preserve in Palm Coast for the past 18 years.

For a complete schedule and to register, visit www.birdingfest.com.

Sponsors include the Flagler County Tourist Development Council, Hilton Garden Inn (host hotel), Flagler County, Palm Coast Observer, The Home Depot, Bright House, and Top Birding Tours.

Please join us for the first Birds of a Feather Fest – Fun for the Whole Flock! For more information, contact Festival Director Jason Giraulo at 386-986-2484 or jgiraulo@palmcoastgov.com.
