Animal Control
The Palm Coast Animal Control Division provides assistance and education to residents for the benefit of their pets. By licensing dogs and cats residing in the City, Palm Coast Animal Control officers have the ability to reunite lost pets with their owners, avoiding stress for both the pet and their owner.

Low-Cost Options
Flagler Humane Society routinely offers low-cost vaccination clinics, affordable wellness visits, and budget-friendly spay and neuter services. While it’s wise to establish a relationship with a local veterinarian for consistent, long-term care, there are additional community options available to help support your pet’s health.
Lost and Found Animals
If you’ve found an animal wearing a collar with an affixed Palm Coast license tag, please click on the Lost and Found button to find contact information for the owner by entering the animals tag number. If an owner cannot be located, or if you’ve lost your own animal, click on the same Lost and Found button to search for existing posts. You can also create a post if one doesn’t already exist.
Wildlife
Palm Coast Animal Control does not trap, relocate or remove wildlife. If we find wildlife in one of our traps, we release the animal on-site. Reports of nuisance or sick wildlife can be made to Florida Fish and Wildlife, or you may want to call a licensed trapper. If you experience an emergency involving wildlife, you can either call 911 or Flagler County Sheriff's Office Dispatch at (386) 313-4911. There is an agricultural deputy, who may be able to help.
You may see a fawn laying in your plant bed or around your property. To protect them from predators, female deer will limit contact, but will eventually return to nurse them. Fawns have no scent and excellent camouflage, which is what also helps to keep them safe. Just keep your distance and admire them from afar.
