Furry Friends

Meet Lucy

LOVED BY DALE & GAIL NAGEL

Lucy is a Labrador Retriever and turned five years old on her birthday, April 4. Spending time with people and being spoiled is what she enjoys the most. She grew up in Maryland, enjoys chasing squirrels (or anything that moves) and swimming in the pool. Lucy’s cousin, Jax (a chocolate lab) lives across the street and we play together whenever we can. When we’re in Naples, she likes to take long walks and enjoys meeting neighborhood friends. She loves to play in the dog park with many friends, where she is known for retrieving two balls at once. When Lucy is at home or in the car, she gets in trouble for barking. She is really scared of most things ... even small dogs. Luncy is good natured, smart, lovable and always hungry.

Jim DeCaro

MAINTENANCE MANAGER

Based in San Diego, CA, I’ve worked with Cisco Corporation’s systems team. Originally from Philadelphia, PA, I earned an associate degree in electronics from Pennco Tech and pursued additional studies at Temple University and Penn State University. After spending 26 years in San Diego, I relocated to Florida in May of 2022. I also lived in Durham, NY, for two years, managing a home improvement business. In my free time, I enjoy playing golf and pickleball, transitioning from a lifelong passion for hockey after retiring due to an injury.

Fish & Wildlife Foundation

The Fish & Wildlife Foundation in Florida, Inc. was formed on September 29, 1994, as a nonprofit organization to support the health and well-being of Florida’s fish and wildlife resources and their habits.

They are the citizen-support organization of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and work with a variety of other public and private organizations to achieve science-based conversation, research, education, and outdoor recreation goals. Their grantmaking traditionally focuses on providing outdoor education recreation opportunities for youth, combatting invasive species like lionfish, improving management of wildlife habits and fisheries, protecting Florida’s freshwater springs, and improving public access to hunting, fishing, and boating resources.

As a nonprofit organization, the Fish & Wildlife Foundation accepts charitable contributions toward these and other conversation programs in Florida and surrounding waters. For more information, visit wildlifeflorida.org/about-us
