Flagler Humane Society volunteer Pam Moreland was injured in a car crash about a month ago, and is still in the hospital with several broken bones, said FHS Executive Director Amy Carotenuto.

A post on the nonprofit’s Facebook page on Oct. 16 asked the community to rally around “a member of the FHS family.” Over 100 people shared the post that told about how Pam Moreland, the mother of shelter “dog whisperer” Jason Moreland, is still recovering from the crash. “We’re kind of a big family here,” Carotenuto said. The shelter is encouraging those interested in donating to either mail or drop-off a check with the memo of “Jason’s mom” at the shelter, located at 1 Shelter Drive, Palm Coast. To donate online, send a message to the shelter’s Facebook page at “Flagler Humane.” FHS staff has raised about $400 personally for the family, Carotenuto said. Pam Moreland was an essential volunteer at the shelter during Hurricane Irma. Carotenuto said the Moreland family of Pam, Jason and his brother had shared the one car that was involved in the crash, meaning the brother lost his job. In the meantime, FHS staff is helping Jason Moreland get to and from work at the shelter. The donated money will be used for the family’s basic expenses, as the family went from three incomes to one after the crash. Call the humane society at 445-1814.
