Many of us have had to deal with a lost pet, either because they got away accidentally

or they escaped from a fenced yard. We find ourselves wondering, “What do I do

now?” The first step when dealing with a lost pet is to check with your local humane

societies or animal control agencies. File a lost animal report with them, making sure

to mention any distinguishing marks or identifications. If your pet has a microchip,

call the company to report that the pet is missing.

However, you shouldn’t rely on animal control or the humane society alone. Spend

time walking where the animal was lost, and post notices around the area and in local

papers. Most lost pets don’t wander far and will be found within your neighborhood.

You can take precautions against losing your pet. Always check your fence for weak

spots. Make sure that your pet always wears a collar on with proper and current

identification, and put its collar back on immediately after a bath. Microchips are also

a great and permanent means of identifying a lost pet.

Upcoming Events: Freedom Cycles of Daytona presents the Freedom Ride and Chili

Cook-Off taking place on Sunday, February 16th starting at 8:30am. You can pre-

register at Freedom Cycles for the Cook-Off and the Ride. There is no cost to enter

into the Chili Cook-Off and a $10 donation for the ride. Each ride registration

includes 2 free beers. Music is provided by Frank Roberts. Freedom Cycles of

Daytona is located at 841 Ridgewood Ave in Holly Hill. For more information please

call 386-882-2453 or visit www.freedomcyclesofdaytona.com.

The Flagler Humane Society will be participating in the Career Fair at Flagler Palm

Coast High School on February 27th from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Representatives will

be onsite to talk about non-profit career opportunities with the junior and senior

students.

The FHS annual Bark and Bowl is scheduled for March 2nd from 6:00 PM to 9: 00

PM at Palm Coast Lanes. The event usually sells out, so get your tickets today!

Tickets can be purchased at the shelter, online, or at Palm Coast Lanes. Tickets are

$20 and include 3 games of bowling, shoe and ball rental, music with a DJ, and 1

beverage. For those that want to attend for the festivities but don’t want to participate

in the bowling, we are offering a $10 non-bowler ticket. The event is 50s-themed so

break out your best 50s attire!

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 or email

[email protected] for general questions, or email
