Flagler Humane Society is a 501 (c)(3) corporation and has been in existence since 1980. We are Flagler County's only full service shelter taking in companion animals that have been abandoned, surrendered or in danger. We also are the Animal Control office for all of Flagler County except for Palm Coast. We do intake animals picked up by Palm Coast AC as well as the rest of Flagler County.
Our promise to every animal that comes through our doors is that we will give them the best possible opportunity to find a home through adoption, fostering, or transferring to a rescue group or other Shelter.
We do euthanize animals but only when there is not another option available to us or them. Most of our euthanasias are due to medical problems where it is the humane thing to do to end an animal's suffering or behavioral problems that mean that the animal is not adoptable.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.
