{ SAVE OUR MANATEES } — Alaqua Animal Refuge, along with Florida Wildlife Federation is fighting to protect our beloved manatees. After a record breaking year with nearly 1,000 manatee deaths (more than any other year), we need to help give manatees greater protection by uplisting them to endangered species.

These incredibly graceful creatures play an important role in maintaining a healthy Florida ecosystem. Please help us take action today by supporting their uplisting from threatened to endangered, and help us protect them for the future.

{ FOSTER FRIDAY: PRINCESS FRANKIE } — Princess Frankie is a loving 14-year old cat who came to Alaqua a couple of months ago. When she first arrived, she was terrified and scared of people. Since then, she has blossomed in her foster home and is slowly coming out of her shell! Her foster mom let us know that Frankie is affectionate, housebroken, and likes to do things on her own time. She is a sucker for catnip and belly rubs and has grown a friendship with the golden retriever.

Ideally, Princess Frankie's future home would be with someone ready to settle down and enjoy life in the slow lane and allow her to enjoy her own space.

If you are looking for a loving, independent lady, let us know. We will be happy to set up a “meet and greet!” You can also learn more about Princess Frankie and fill out an adoption application here: https://alaqua.org/adopt/

{ ALAQUA WELCOMES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR } — Alaqua is proud to announce and welcome Jeff Jacob as its new Executive Director effective immediately. Jacob will be responsible for helping to lead the organization during an unprecedented growth period as Alaqua relocates to their permanent home, a multimillion-dollar facility with expanded programs and services.

Jacob was selected for this critical role from a nationwide search that garnered more than 50 applicants. A pivotal year for Alaqua, Jacob’s hire demonstrates the non-profit’s strong desire to partner with an individual whose passion and beliefs align with Alaqua’s mission and vision, and who can bring the necessary background and experience to oversee and manage the important day-to-day work of the Refuge, while at the same time growing programs, expanding Alaqua’s brand, and broadening horizons. The creation of this position represents a new era in the history of the 14-year old Refuge.

Alaqua Founder Laurie Hood will continue in her role as President to set and drive the vision for the Refuge while strengthening and expanding national partnerships and leadership roles with organizations such as Animal Welfare Action, the Humane Society of the United States, Florida Wildlife Federation, and the E.O Wilson Biophilia Center. She will continue to lead Alaqua’s advocacy efforts, rescue operations, coordination with governmental agencies in prosecuting animal cruelty offenders, and supporting their efforts in the judicial system.

{ HEALING ANIMALS WITH AN ANCIENT ART } — Jin Shin Jyutsu is a hands-on relaxation technique that has been primarily used with people for over 1,000 years. This ancient harmonizing art is also used with animals to help them relax and aid in healing. It increases communication and balances the mind, body, and spirit.

Alaqua practitioner Adele Leas spends time healing animals that come to us in this unique way, noting that the animals almost always respond profoundly to this non-verbal expression of compassion.

Adele is an internationally known teacher and advocate for using Jin Shin Jyutsu for all animals to help them heal and ultimately give them a second chance. To help Alaqua continue to expand its programs, please consider making a contribution today. You will be directly helping animals to heal. http://bit.ly/AlaquaDonate
