New Scam Style Alert

The admin team has noticed a new scam style in other online groups. While we haven’t seen it in our own, if you find rental postings like this out in the wild on other groups DO NOT CLICK THEM. I believe it is a phishing scam. A phishing is meant to steal your information which may include BANK ACCOUNT INFO, but I myself am not clicking on these links to find out.

The safer alternative if you are wary of any link is to do a Google Search the name of the home, property, business, or even website and see if you can find the link on your own. When in doubt take a screen shot message an admin or report to admin.

Please like, comment, and share so we can reach more people!

🪚🛠 URGENT - FOSTERS NEEDED🛠🪚
Construction has begun on our outside dog holding area. These pups desperately need a place to go for at least two days while we build and insulate their area. This insulation will be done on August 19th so the dogs will need to be picked up on August 18th and kept until the 20th or 21st to give plenty of time for the fumes to go away. Vacationers are welcome to join in on the fun of fostering a dog as well. All supplies will be provided. We have so many lovely dogs that would also love a break from the shelter. Please contact us to find out how you can help. 850-227-1103 or https://www.sjbhumanesociety.org/ and fill out an application.

Pictured here, friendly sea turtle viewing.💚

But in light of evidence of unfriendly viewing practices last night, we thought it would be a good time to remind our beach-goers of what to do should you be lucky enough to witness a momma sea turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs or emerging hatchlings making their way to the water:

🐢Keep your distance: Staying at least 50 feet away can prevent the turtle from leaving the beach before finishing its nest.

🐢Stay quiet: Avoid making noise.

🐢Keep your hands off: Don't touch the turtle or put other objects near it.

🐢Turn off lights: This includes cell phones, flashlights, and other light sources.

🐢Let hatchlings crawl: Allow them to make their own way to the ocean. Getting in their way can confuse them and prevent them from finding their way. The trip to the water also helps them learn their surroundings and for females to remember their home beach.

Give them space, leave no trace, and keep our sea turtles in the dark... it's up to all of us to help make this a successful nesting season.
