The memorial garden at the Palm Harbor Golf Course got the finishing touch this past week with the installation of a
bronze plaque donated by Norma Kendrick. The design for the garden was done by the Community Development
Department. The Public Works Department selected a coquina boulder, set the plaque in place, and installed it at the
corner of the landscaped flagpole area in front of the clubhouse. The plaque reads, “Golfers and Friends are
Memories Forever”. The garden includes three memorial benches, landscaping, and pavers around the flagpole
remembering current and past golfers who have graced our home course and now have a place of reflection and
remembrance. If you are interested in having a paver inscribed in the name of a golfer you know, please contact the
Palm Harbor Golf Course at 986-4653.

The Flagler Humane Society is striving to put a dent in the pet overpopulation issue
in Flagler County. We have obtained grants that allow us to offer low cost surgeries
for many pet owners, and pitbull or pitbull mix dogs can be spayed or neutered for
free as well as receive a free rabies vaccine and a microchip. Residents of Flagler
Beach with feral cats can have them sterilized, vaccinated for rabies, and ear notched
for free as well. Those with feral or community cats in other parts of the county can
get a $25 certificate for spay/neuter, rabies vaccine, and ear notch. If your pets don’t
fall within one of our grant programs, FHS offers a subsidized spay/neuter certificate
with reduced prices. Don’t let money be the reason that your pet is not sterilized.
Donation Opportunity: 100 Realty donated “Doghouse Donation Boxes” that were
placed at all the fire stations in Flagler County. If you can’t make it to the shelter,
donations can be dropped off 24/7 at your nearest fire station. We appreciate any and
all donations that we receive, especially those from our Wish List (available at
flaglerhumanesociety.org/wish-list). Purchases can be made through Amazon.com via
the FHS website and sent directly to the shelter.
Upcoming Events: The FHS monthly Yappy Hour is coming up on Thursday, April
24th
from 6 pm – 9 pm. It will be held at Canfield’s Bistro located at the Palm Harbor
Golf Club. The $10 donation includes a sampler from Canfield’s Bistro, house
cocktail or draft, fun dog and human games, and a beautiful view with good
company. Don’t miss out!
The FHS 9th
annual Spayghetti Dinner and Silent Auction is scheduled for April 5th
.
Tickets are on sale now at the shelter or can be purchased through the FHS website.
Tickets are $30 and includes a cash bar, dinner, and dancing. Entertainment will be
provided by Debbi Owen and Tony T. This event usually sells out so don’t miss your
opportunity to get your tickets!
Upcoming Outreach Events: Don’t forget that we have adoptable pets at the
Farmer’s Market in Flagler Beach every Friday and at PetSmart on Sundays. Come
out and meet all the furry friends that FHS volunteer Howard Tessler brings for
adoption!
Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized or
FREE 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
[email protected] for general questions, or email
[email protected] for grant-specific questions.
Do you have a favorite family recipe that you are proud of and would like to share
with others? The 1st annual FHS cookbook would love to include your recipe. Check
the FHS website for more information on how to submit a recipe. Only the first 150
recipes submitted will be included in the cookbook. Recipe submitters will also have
the opportunity to include a photo of their pet for a small fee.

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!
Adoption specialist:
Danielle Camic
(All adoptions and outreach)
Information on events to benefit our
homeless animals can be found on our
website, www.flaglerhumanesociety.org.
SABER
Saber is a beautiful 2 year old
neutered male American
Bulldog. He is a big lovable
goofball. He was left behind
when his family left and had to
be brought to the humane
society for adoption. He is
super sweet and loves to give
hugs. He enjoys walks but
does need some basic leash
training because he is so
strong. He is looking for a
family to love ALL of him.
Come and meet this gentle
giant today.
