Dear Friends,

You may have already heard the sad news that the Folke Peterson Wildlife Center is closing.

Our Board of Directors has made the painful decision to close the Center due to financial reasons. The closure, which includes moving more than 350 animals to other appropriate facilities, is estimated to take up to four weeks.


FPWC is funded primarily through foundation grants, which have decreased dramatically since the recent stock market upset left foundations with less to give.


For assistance with injured wildlife in Palm Beach County, the public is asked to call Busch Wildlife Sanctuary at 561-575-3399. In Broward County please call the Wildlife Care Center at 954-524-4302.
Thank you for your support and friendship!

Sincerely,

Heather Landstrom
Executive Director

Here is some video from Village Veterinary Annual Microchip Clinic. This was my second year attending. Every pet that showed up for a microchip is a pet saved. A wonderful event our community should be proud of.

Military Working Dogs have played a vital role in our nation's history from world war two to present. During the Vietnam War canine soldiers and their handlers are estimated to have prevented as many as 10,000 deaths. Up until 2000 these dogs were euthanized at the end of their service. These are highly trained four footed soldiers with duties such as Sentries, Scout, Booby Trap, Tunnel, Mine and Tracker.

In 200o public law 106-446 was passed allowing the adoption of DoD canines.

Local Filmmaker, Cyndi Lenz catches up with the folks from the Space Coast War Dog Association at the 23nd Annual Floirda Vietnam and All Veterans Reunion at Wickham Park in Melbourne, Florida
