SMART Team Works to Save Stray

Caroline Johnson, Annie Conrad, and Mike Lagana with SMART have worked for weeks to try and catch a stray dog that had been living in the woods for weeks possibly longer. The dog was in danger of being hurt and had been killing chickens; there was no luck in finding an owner.

The dog was then taken to East Coast Animal Hospital to be treated for…

Abandoned Dog, Slate, Needs Community Support and Assistance

Meet Slate, a dog who had been abandoned along a highway. Five individuals called the SMART "lost animal" county hotline when they saw the dog running on the highway.

Slate currently needs to be de-wormed, get him up to date on his vaccines, tackle the heart worms infesting his heart, and he will need a surgery so he can be neutered. If you want to help with raising funds for Slate's medical expenses, you can READ MORE here.

40th Anniversary Gala “A Look into the Flagler Humane Society’s History”

Where were you in 1982? Some of you may not have even been born yet. Some of you may have been wearing your Reebok high tops, listening to Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. 1982 brought us the opening of Epcot Center, the first episode of the David Letterman show and a little movie called ET. 1982 also brought something pretty special to Flagler County…..the opening of our shelter. Then called Flagler County Humane Society (The word “County” was removed from our name in the early 2000’s because it confused people who thought we were a government agency). Founded by a group of devoted animal…
