My name is Gray, and that’s how life feels without you 😔
Found as a stray, I’ve been lost for quite a while. I’ve heard I’m friendly, but the shelter’s unfamiliar faces and noises are starting to stress me out.
I still hold onto hope that one day I’ll experience life outside the shelter, inside a loving home, with a kind soul like you.
But until then, I’ll keep waiting… although I may not be able to wait forever because I’m on the Urgent List. Can you help me?

Last week, cadets participated in the Professional Police Driving Course. They spent several hours in the classroom learning about emergency vehicle operations, including pursuit driving. Topics discussed included department policy, state law, and case laws related to police driving.
Following the classroom sessions, they proceeded to the police academy driving track to implement their newfound knowledge. This hands-on portion included navigating various cone courses, executing high-speed maneuvers, and practicing pursuit driving techniques.
While many patrol officers consider their vehicle their “mobile office,” this course is vital to teaching cadets how to maneuver a police unit safely and efficiently.

Beware –
Home improvement/repair scams become more frequent following Hurricanes.
As we recover from the effects of Hurricane Beryl, the La Porte Police Department is reaching out to residents and reminding them to remain alert and do their homework in checking the references and reliability of both interior and exterior home improvement contractors before entering into any type of a work agreement.
Contractor scams such as fencing upgrades, roof repair, and driveway paving are common along the Gulf Coast, particularly following major storms. That’s where unlicensed and the occasional out-of-town contractors find an avenue to march right in. Their crimes, frequently referred to as “scams”, are usually committed by organized groups of people migrating into the area from other parts of Texas or out of state.
When choosing any type of contractor or before having any type of work performed, insist on a written, detailed contract and ensure it contains the contractor’s registration number, insurance information, address, start and completion dates of the job, total amount to be paid, and a list of specifications and materials. Also, make sure your contractor applies for and obtains any applicable building permits. Regardless of the scenario, if you feel you are being scammed in any way, please call the police department immediately at 281-471-2141.
Members of Precinct 8 attended the funeral service for fallen Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Fernando Esqueda earlier today. It is very clear to all who never had the privilege of meeting him that he was truly a great man. For him to be taken in such a cowardly way has left a hole in the hearts of his family, fellow law enforcement officers and his many friends that will never be filled. Our thoughts continue to be with his family and the entire Harris County Sheriff’s Office during this unimaginable and difficult time. Thank you for your service Deputy Esqueda. We have the watch from here.
Congratulations to T. Isbell, B. Hinojosa, K. Diaz, A. Sanchez, and J. Salazar – Pasadena’s newest Police Service Officers!

Yesterday, Precinct 8 Deputy Jenkins rescued stranded motorists after they attempted to drive through a flooded roadway in the 500 block of Red Bluff Rd. Deputy Jenkins was able to pull the driver of the black sedan to safety moments before the rising floodwaters reached the windows.
Please pay attention to the weather in the coming days as storms are predicted for our area. Remember that your safety comes first.
❗️Never drive through flooded roads. Just 12 inches of water can carry away most cars.
❗️Avoid walking through floodwaters. It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock over an adult.
❗️Find alternative routes. Even if it delays you, it’s not worth the risk.

“Due to the damage left by Hurricane Beryl, the entire Houston solid waste market is experiencing higher volumes of trash out for collection. From refrigerator and freezer spoilage, to leaves and branches, the volume is immense for the time being. This increased volume is causing longer wait times at each and every landfill/ disposal site and delays the turnaround time dramatically. We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to get everyone recovered as quickly as possible. Our team is doing everything we can to manage the solution and ensure that all services are completed safely and efficiently. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. Thank you for your patience and support.”

S’More is currently in a temporary foster home and needs a new home ASAP. Check out what they said about her:
“Smore is as sweet as her name! She’s a big lap dog that’s very friendly with people, and has no issues with meeting strangers.
She loves cuddling, belly rubs, stuffed animals, and splashing in puddles. She’ll even run and play by herself in the backyard throwing toys around. It’s pretty cute to watch.
She also knows the commands sit and lay down, and she’s a decent leash walker as long as there’s no other dogs or cats around. She can be a really good dog for someone!”

Am I not enough? 💔
The shelter says I’m friendly, but everyone passes me by…
Once they see my cherry eye, they walk past me…
Once they find out I have flea allergy dermatitis, though it’s not contagious and just an allergic reaction, they walk past me…
Will I ever be good enough for a second chance? I’m on the Urgent List, so I’m afraid that I’ll never find out…
Can you help me before it’s too late?
With a Heavy Heart,
Sally

We can’t believe Sky has been in a foster home for over 100 days! 😲
While being fostered, she has made quite the impression. Check out what her foster family said about her:
“Sky is the sweetest, most playful pup you’ll ever meet! With a heart as big as her wagging tail, Sky adores squeaky toys and bones like they’re pure treasures. She loves to be outside, rain or shine, and is at her happiest when she’s running wild in an open field. When not nestled in a cozy corner with her favorite plushie or gnawing on a tasty bone, Sky seeks comfort in cuddles and gentle pats.
She is very timid at first, but once she warms up to you, she’s by your side forever. Sky would never hurt a fly, and her gentle demeanor and loving blue eyes make her a friend to anyone willing to share a bit of kindness and patience. I’m positive that her eyes tell a story I’ve been lucky enough to read!
Despite her shyness, Sky’s playful spirit shines through when she hops/gallops around when you come home from a long day, and her sweetness is apparent when she goes in for a big hug. She loves dog treats of all kind and is extremely intelligent. With only a few days of “sit” and “shake” training, she’s mastered these commands. We are now working on “come”, “place”, and more. Also, Sky is also close to being completely potty trained.
She loves to please and is very aware of her surroundings. She also does well around children of all ages. She would make a great addition to anyone’s home, but preferably a female household with another furry companion!”

This past Saturday, the Pasadena Police Department’s Fitness Team ran in the Karbach Brewing Co.’s Popsicle Dash 5k. The Pasadena Police Department prioritizes our personnel’s overall health, and the Fitness Team is just one of many ideas the Resiliency and Mentorship Program (RAMP) is implementing. The R.A.M.P. program is built around the five pillars of wellness. (mental, physical, social, financial, and spiritual)
By building a team to participate in local 5ks and fitness challenges, we are helping to build on the foundations of mental, physical, and social resiliency. Everyone runs at their own pace but celebrates their accomplishment together at the end! More races are on the horizon, and all P.P.D. employees are encouraged to participate.
Congrats to everyone who completed this 5k; Officers S. Benge, E. Gonzalez, and S. Mata; Sgt. D. Franklund, Sgt. A. Ontiveros, Lt. K. Bowman; Academy Coordinator A. Sanchez; PSO B. Rosales; and Record’s Clerk S. Sanchez. Next, the team will run the Watermelon Dash in August!

Can you help us find our way home? 😔
We were found at Crenshaw Park by nice citizens who were concerned that we were overheated
We’re now at the shelter and receiving great care, but we want to go home.
We’re both microchipped, but the shelter hasn’t had any luck getting in touch with our owner.
Please help us by sharing this post. We’re sad that we may never see our owner again 💔.

We are excited to announce a fantastic turnout due to the efforts of the Academy staff and members throughout the department!
We saw an overall increase of 87% in applicants for our Police Academy who passed the Civil Service and P.T. Tests. Not only did the passing rate increase, but our number of applicants increased from 648 in 2023 to 814 in 2024, a 25% increase!
This success reflects the growth our organization can experience by working together as a team, communicating effectively, and maintaining a positive attitude. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the Academy staff and many members of the Police Department. Personnel attended off-site recruiting events, organized rowing seminars and open houses, and created media for the public explaining the process, benefits, and long-term fulfillment of becoming a PPD cadet.
We will continue implementing unique events and ideas to maintain this increase and add to our team that proudly protects and serves the City of Pasadena, Texas.

Experiencing a power outage lasting several days can be challenging and stressful. However, maintaining calm and managing stress is essential to ensure everyone’s safety.
We must understand that our line workers (utility workers) are working non-stop to restore the power in our community. Some have traveled away from their families across state lines to help our community return to normalcy.
Their work already involves significant risks, including high-voltage electricity, working at heights, and handling heavy equipment. People in the community threatening or interfering only delays power restoration to those who need it. Ensuring their safety and security is paramount for operational continuity.
The Pasadena Police Department is committed to supporting and ensuring the safety of our line workers. We will take action against anyone who threatens their safety or interferes with their duties.

It is with profound sorrow that we extend our heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of Harris County Sheriff Deputy Fernando Esqueda.
The Pasadena Police Department stands in solidarity with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Know that you are not alone in your grief. Our community mourns with you, and our thoughts are with you, your family, and the entire Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Esqueda demonstrated courage, dedication, and selfless commitment to serving and protecting our community, and his actions reflect the highest values of law enforcement.
Our deepest sympathies are with you and all those who knew and loved our fallen brother in blue.
At only 28 years old, Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Fernando Esqueda was murdered in the line of duty. He died protecting our community, engaging with a violent and dangerous person.
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. – John 15:13
Deputy Esqueda, thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. You should still be here, brother. Your time on earth was cut short and you leave behind a void that cannot be filled. We’ll take the watch from here. Rest in peace.

In Remembrance of Officer J.D. Ginn:
On July 10, 1991, Pasadena Police Motorcycle Officer J.D. Ginn responded to a residence after observing smoke billowing from a fenced-in backyard. The mentally disturbed homeowner confronted Officer Ginn, and during an exchange of gunfire, Officer Ginn was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was 29 years of age.
We will always remember Officer Ginn’s ultimate sacrifice to uphold the Oath he swore to protect and serve his community. We tragically lost Officer Ginn 33 years ago today, and although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.
Please keep his family, friends, and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers today as we remember the courageous life he lived.

Residents in the area are advised to prepare for storm surge flooding, damaging winds, heavy rain, and potential power outages. Evacuations may be necessary, and it is important to follow‼️⚠️Citizen Advisory – Hurricane Beryl: ⚠️‼️
Beryl is strengthening to a likely Category 2 at landfall on Texas coast early Monday.

which you are staying and the name of the county or parish in which
it resides. Listen for these locations in local news updates. Pay

Manchas is a senior dog who was surrendered by his owner and has spent his whole life outdoors. Now, in the shelter, he is starting to show signs of struggling with the new environment. The Pasadena Animal Shelter shared his story on Facebook in hopes of finding him a loving forever home where he can live out his golden years in comfort and care. Despite the sadness of being surrendered, Manchas still has a lot of love to give and is in need of a kind-hearted individual or family to provide him with the love and care he deserves in his old age. Let’s share his story and help him find a new home where he can be happy and loved.

Celebratory gunfire and fireworks are dangerous and they are illegal in the City of Pasadena, Texas. Fireworks and loud noises can be particularly stressful for the elderly, veterans, and especially pets. Please, be mindful and respectful of others, and, just don’t do it.
Together, we can ensure that our community enjoys the Fourth of July holiday safely and peacefully.
A sweet treat from the Superintendent’s Office right before the holiday!!
On the Fourth of July, many animals become so frightened by the noise and commotion of fireworks that they run from otherwise familiar environments and people, and sadly become lost. They may also suffer devastating or even fatal health effects from the stress. The sudden bright flashes and sounds can cause wild animals to run into roadways, resulting in more car accidents than normal.
Remember, fireworks are illegal in the City of La Porte. It is illegal to possess, transport, ignite, or sell fireworks in the City of La Porte. The La Porte Police Department asks for the entire community’s help in making sure everyone can celebrate the Fourth of July safely. For more information regarding holiday safety, please contact the LPPD at 281-471-2141 and follow us on Facebook at @LaPortePoliceDepartment.
We are so proud of our students from CTHS that traveled out of state for TAFE and Skills USA to compete in a national contest. Thank you to their instructors for preparing them for this experience and for giving up time during the summer to attend.
Come meet our new residents, thanks to the Shelter Dog Swap Initiative with the City of Baytown Animal Services! 🐶

We believe this initiative will boost the chances for all of these dogs to find forever families ❤️️.

Meet our Foster Spotlight Cleo, and her foster parent Julie! ✨
Julie says, “Cleo is such a love bug! She loves people, she’s very playful, and she will keep you entertained with her energetic personality. When she’s sleepy, she loves to curl up and cuddle with her person for a nap. This kitty would love to be your one and only, and she’s ready to shower you with all her love and attention.
I foster because I love animals and have a soft spot for cats. Fostering makes a difference in the lives of the animals who depend on us. I found Cleo in my backyard and she was such a friendly cat from the start. She came right up to me purring, rubbing up against me, and wanting love. I never fostered before, but I wanted to help Cleo find the forever home she deserves.”
✨ We thank our PAWsome foster Julie for fostering Cleo and helping her find a forever home!

For more than 50 years, Pasadena Independent School District’s Richey Elementary has pushed to excel in all forms of curriculum, inclusion, and innovation. In the attempt to expand their campus opportunities, the motivation to have a new track to complement their playground was their next goal.
“It started as a simple conversation that turned into a discussion about creating more health and wellness for student activities and parents to stay active in the Northside of Pasadena,” said Noel Becerra, Counselor at Richey Elementary School. With the idea of implementing a track on Richey’s campus, the need for funding became apparent. Richey Elementary School

Our 2024 Pasadena PD Kids Camp was a huge success, and we are thrilled to share this video highlighting some of the amazing moments from this year’s camp.
As we worked hand in hand with our community, we created unforgettable experiences ranging from exciting activities to meaningful interactions with first responders.

We are grateful to everyone who made this event possible, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, dedicated first responder agencies, and the excellent staff of PISD for providing a fantastic home base for our campers. We look forward to many more years of community engagement and summer fun!

Listen, It’s a brave new dating world out there and “meeting” people on the internet is handy, and becoming the norm. With that, there are some general rules you ought to follow when courting the love of your life and soul-mate.
1. Stop sending nekid photos of yourself – For the love of all that is just, STOP DOING THIS.
2. Your friend doesn’t really know a Nigerian prince.
3. If you’ve set a time and place to actually meet your forever, and then you get a call saying they’ve been kidnapped and you need to fork over money – bells should be ringing in your head.

He’s doing amazing in his foster home. Check out what they said about him:
“Buddy is the most snuggly dog and is so sweet. He definitely wants to be around people! We have four kids ranging from age eight to teens, and he is amazing with all of them!
When he first arrived, he was a little nervous, but he is getting a lot of love and snuggles and has probably had the best sleep he has had in a long time! He slept all night in his new crate as well with zero issues.
He will be a difficult one to let go to another family, but he is also so sweet, well behaved, and he is a good fit for so many!!!”
➡️ Want to meet Buddy? Contact us today and adopt for free in the month of June!

This week, the 86th Police cadets received Crisis Intervention Training. This training provides cadets with the key concepts, safety techniques, and communication skills for peace officers to use when they respond to individuals in a severe mental health crisis. It covers the legal aspects of mental health commitments, liability issues, mental disorders, and mental disabilities. Through lectures and hands-on role-playing scenarios, the cadets were able to understand indicators of mental illness, documenting the interpersonal relations necessary to work with the mentally ill, their families, and the mental health system intervention strategies for dealing with low and high-risk situations.

Here is another case in our series featuring incidents involving the discharge of firearms and the excellent police work done by our officers:
A Pasadena Police Department officer was informed of a firearm discharge in the vicinity of W. Harris and Shaver St. that had occurred earlier in the day; he was also aware of previous discharge of firearm calls from the area and learned of two male subjects walking in the area, believed to be carrying a firearm.
The officer, knowing all this information, took a proactive approach and staged near the area where the discharges of firearms had been reported to the police. The officer called for additional units to assist. As they waited, they eventually observed several subjects matching the description walking towards a wooded area. Shortly after, several officers heard two gunshots sound come from the direction of the wooded area. The officers then observed one of the subjects running from the wooded area onto the streets.
Officers detained all suspects and one of the subjects admitted to shooting the firearm, and to having purchased the gun illegally.
After a thorough investigation, officers found a 9mm handgun with an extended magazine and two AK-style pistols.
The suspect was arrested for Discharge of a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.
The Pasadena Police Department views the discharge of firearms as a severe threat and takes immediate action against reckless behavior. Officers often take the initiative and use information from previous calls to formulate a strategy to locate those who threaten our community.
This is just another example of the outstanding job our patrol officers do on a regular basis to ensure the safety of those we serve.

LPPD Touts Safety as Priority for July 4th Holiday
The La Porte Police Department (LPPD) will be stepping up safety efforts for the Fourth of July holiday and weekend. Citizens may see officers on bicycles and utility task vehicles (UTV) throughout the holiday period. Several officers will work the 4th of July Parade that takes place on Thursday, July 4.
As a reminder, the possession and use of fireworks in the city limits are illegal per La Porte municipal ordinance Sec. 38-167. Citizens who chose to violate this ordinance are subject to a fine and/or confiscation of their fireworks. LPPD asks for cooperation in reducing the illegal use of fireworks. The Department’s response to citizen calls about the illegal discharge of fireworks can prevent them from performing other police activities and can also slow emergency response times. Fireworks can also cause anxiety issues for pets and elevate the risk of fire.
The La Porte Police Department asks for the entire community’s help in making sure everyone can celebrate the Fourth of July safely. For more information regarding holiday safety, please contact the LPPD at 281-471-2141 and follow us on Facebook at @LaPortePoliceDepartment.
This past Saturday, over 240 eager applicants showed up to take the Pasadena Police Department’s Civil Service Exam, which is the first step in the process of becoming a police officer in Pasadena.

The Police Academy is set to start in November of this year, and we wish the applicants the best of luck on their journey to becoming Pasadena Police Officers.
If you missed the opportunity to take the Civil Service Exam, we will be hosting another exam in Spring 2025.

Several witnesses contacted Pasadena P.D. dispatch to report that they heard several gunshots and saw muzzle flashes coming from a white truck that was parked in the 6000 blk. of Fairmont Pkwy.
A witness recorded a video of the suspect, the suspect vehicle, and the license plate before the suspect drove away.
As Dispatch relayed this information to responding officers, the suspect vehicle was observed driving in the 5800 blk. of Fairmont Pkwy., and a traffic stop was initiated.
After a thorough investigation, a 9mm handgun and several shell casings were recovered, and the suspect was arrested for discharging a firearm.
We are grateful for the action that these witnesses took by keeping a safe distance from the suspect and contacting the Police Department.
With your help and trust in our ability to protect you and your families, we were able to locate the suspect and prevent harm to our community.

It’s National Foster A Pet Month, and we’re spotlighting Jill who is fostering Rosa! ✨
Jill says, “I foster because I feel that I really make a difference. It’s a pretty short-term commitment but with a huge payout at the end.
I’ve watched my fosters go from scared and untrusting to joyful, playful, well-mannered cuddle bugs in a month. It’s so rewarding to see the transformation, and my fosters have gone to the most amazing loving furever families!
My current foster, Rosa, is probably one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs I’ve fostered. She’s not even a year but has spent almost her whole life in the shelter.
She’s the complete package — playful, affectionate, and smart. Be prepared for daily kisses and a lifetime of love if you adopt this sweet girl!”
✨ We thank our PAWsome foster Jill for helping prepare Rosa for her forever home!

The Pasadena Police Department was honored to participate in joint training with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Harris County Precinct 8 Constable’s Office, an active attack/shooter scenario.
These collaborative trainings are crucial for active attack/shooter events, as they train first responders in the immediate area to respond quickly, take action, and coordinate with other law enforcement agencies to provide medical tactical aid and rapid evacuation.
Organized efforts like joint training are vital to our mission to enhance public safety and minimize casualties in an active shooter event. Our commitment to continuous training is crucial to this cause.
On June 22, 2024 at approximately 10:59 PM, Precinct 8 Deputy Atluri with Constable Phil Sandlin’s was traveling westbound in the 10500 block of the S Sam Houston Pkwy E when he observed a white Chevrolet Camaro approaching behind him at a high rate of speed. The vehicle passed Deputy Atluri and proceeded to drive recklessly, making several unsafe lane changes and ultimately sideswiping another vehicle. The suspect vehicle failed to stop and accelerated to a higher rate of speed. Deputy Atluri caught up to the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop in the 9500 block of the S Sam Houston Pkwy. Upon making contact with the driver, Deputy Atluri observed a small child passenger in the backseat. The driver, identified as 30 year old Joe Angel Lopez, displayed multiple signs of intoxication. Deputy Atluri proceeded to administer the Standardized Field Sobriety Test and determined Lopez was unable to operate a vehicle safely.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for felony Driving While Intoxicated with Child Under 15 Years of Age and Fail to Stop and Give Information. Lopez was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bonds was set at $2,600 total.
Evening shift patrol officers responded to a call regarding the discharge of a firearm.
Witnesses reported seeing the suspect raising his arm while holding a firearm and discharging multiple rounds.
Officers made contact with the suspect, and he admitted to firing his weapon. During the investigation, officers located the firearm and several shell casings.
The suspect was arrested and charged for the reckless act of discharging a firearm.
Using a phone while driving is extremely dangerous. Distracted driving can lead to serious accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. It’s crucial to stay focused on the road and avoid using any devices while driving.
Here are a few tips to help you avoid distracted driving:
* Put Your Phone Away: Keep your phone out of reach to avoid the temptation to check it.
* Use Hands-Free Devices: If you need to take calls, use hands-free devices or Bluetooth.
* Set Up Before You Drive: Set your GPS, music, or any other needs before you start driving.
* Pull Over Safely: If you must use your phone, pull over safely to the side of the road.
* Stay Focused: Keep your attention on driving and the road ahead.
Remember, no message or call is worth risking your life or the lives of others. Stay safe and drive responsibly.

As July 4th approaches, we hope you consider your family’s and neighbor’s safety.
There are responsible and safe ways to celebrate holidays, but discharging a firearm and igniting fireworks in your backyard is not suggested.
You can attend a legal, family-friendly event at our Annual 4th Fest.
Attending The City of Pasadena’s 4th Fest can save you money because you don’t have to purchase hundreds of dollars of fireworks, and later pay fines when Officers observe you igniting them.
Not to mention spending the night in our municipal jail, or a nearby hospital from injuries you could receive from the fireworks.
Think twice. Make the right decision.
We’re gearing up for our Volunteer Day this Saturday and we need your help! 🐾

It was a Mardi Gras in Galveston on our last night at the TCCE conference. It’s been great but we sure do miss our Pasadena Chamber family!
Our police dispatchers receive multiple accidental 911 calls from children using deactivated cell phones. To help prevent accidental 911 calls from deactivated cell phones used by children, we suggest the following:
📱Teach your child about the importance of 911 and when it should be used. Emphasize that 911 is for emergencies only.
📱Monitor your child’s use of the deactivated phone to ensure they are not making unintended emergency calls.
By taking these steps, you can help reduce the number of accidental 911 calls, ensuring that 911 emergency services phone lines are available for actual emergencies.

Jasper is a lovable long-stay dog at the Pasadena Animal Shelter, but the reason for his extended stay remains unknown. Despite this, he is a friendly and hopeful dog who is eager to bring love and joy into someone’s life. All Jasper needs is a chance to show his loving nature and playful personality. If given the opportunity, Jasper could make a wonderful companion for anyone willing to give him a chance. Help Jasper find his forever home and give him the chance he deserves to bring happiness into someone’s life.
Adopt or foster for FREE. If you foster, food, a crate, and supplies are provided!
Email [email protected] to place a foster/rescue hold, or if you have any questions.With the Fourth of July quickly approaching, The Pasadena Police Department wants to ensure everyone enjoys the festivities safely and responsibly.
We’d like to remind our community about the dangers of celebratory gunfire and illegal fireworks. While it may seem like harmless fun, these activities can have serious consequences, putting the lives of our loved ones and neighbors at risk. Stray bullets and fireworks-related accidents can cause injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will share several incidents involving individuals who chose to recklessly discharge a firearm and the outcome of their actions.
If you witness anyone discharging a firearm or igniting fireworks, please report it to us immediately.
We also ask that you leave a comment if you have witnessed this illegal activity in your neighborhood in the past so that we can pass this information along to our patrol supervisors and assign additional manpower to specific areas with higher reports of this activity.
The 2024 Ambassador Retreat was an amazing day of development, laughs, and connections! Our Ambassadors are an amazing group of volunteers that assist with member engagement by doing outreach calls, attending ribbon cuttings, and visiting members.
Thank you to our amazing Sponsors for the Retreat:

Elijah is a long-stay puppy at the Pasadena Animal Shelter, and it is unclear why he has not been adopted yet. Despite this, he is described as very sweet, people-friendly, and dog-friendly. The shelter believes that Elijah deserves a second chance at finding a loving forever home. His kind nature and friendly demeanor make him a perfect companion for anyone looking to adopt a furry friend. The shelter is hopeful that someone will step forward to give Elijah the loving home he deserves.

🐾 The Pasadena Police Department K9 Division participated in a K9 Operator Course with Menger Public Safety. Several local agencies also participated in this training!
This class focused on understanding and implementing K9s into SWAT operations, including an overview of K9 team benefits and pitfalls.
A variety of real-world techniques were covered, including barricaded suspect situations, structure clearing, K9 threshold evaluations, less-lethal options, and implementation of K9 into operational planning.
Handlers and K9s were recognized for their performance, and Pasadena PD K9 Jax was awarded the Top Dog award! 🐾
Why doesn’t anyone want me? 😔
I’ve been at the shelter for over 60 days. That’s 60 days of waiting, hoping, and watching as so many faces pass me by.
I got lost and was found as a stray, but I’d do anything to be loved again. The shelter staff even tell me that I’m friendly.
All I need is a chance, but I’m now on the Urgent List because of the high number of intakes. Can you help me?
With a Hopeful Heart,
Anabel

There’s no such thing as a typical day when you’re on patrol! Deputy Thornburg responded to a call of a kitten on the main lanes in the 3100 block of the E Sam Houston Pkwy. Deputy Thornburg was able to capture the kitten and place him in the front seat of his patrol car. While driving it to safety, the kitten climbed up into the dashboard where it got stuck. Deputy Thornburg saved the day again and was able to pull the kitten out. Deputy Atluri took the kitten home where it will be loved and cared for!
