1. There are so many lovable pets waiting for their furrever home. There are dogs, puppies, cats, and even a guinea pig! Please visit the Riverhead area animal shelters for your new companion. (Riverhead Patch)
2. Advocates for the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center are asking the public to help them to persuade the Suffolk County Parks Department and the Suffolk County Legislature to rescind the agreement that allows hunters to traverse County land on their way to Henry's Hollow. Email: clerk.legislature@suffolkcountyny.gov, or write a letter to Clerk's Office, Suffolk County Legislature, P.O. Box 6100, Hauppauge, NY 11788, or call and leave an audio testimony at 631-853-3685; callers may leave a 3-minute message. (Patch)
3. Suffolk cops say a Suffolk police officer navigated ice on a rescue sled to bring a fawn trapped on Narrow Bay to safety on Sunday. SCPD Officer Robert King was able to reach the animal and lift it out of the 40-degree water and onto the sled. The fawn was towel-dried, wrapped in blankets, and then transported to an animal rescue center where it will be evaluated for medical treatment, police said. (Patch)

From our sponsor:

Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They’re chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond “Dry January.” We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we’ve since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the
perfect amount of zing. We're converts.

Enough of you took Betera up on their 15 percent discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they’ve extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly
recommended — try Betera here.
