🏡🐾 All They Need Is You: National Dog Day at the Plano Animal Shelter

Today, we’re celebrating with some four-legged friends at the Plano Animal Shelter who have plenty of love to give and are waiting for safe, loving homes! 💙

Members of our Digital Forensics Unit, M. Rotilie, W. Meyer, and A. Vigars took a break from analyzing digital evidence and spent some time playing, handing out treats, and getting to know these very deserving pups.

🐶Autumn (A218045) This 2-year-old German Shepherd mix is smart, obedient and incredibly affectionate. She knows how to sit, offers her paw, and happily climbs into your lap for some love. She enjoys playing but is equally happy settling down for pats. Autumn was surrendered by her family (but sadly never reclaimed) and is ready to find her forever home.

🐾Freckles (A218620) At about 11-months-old, this Catahoula mix is playful, friendly, and full of personality. He’s a smart young pup with an adorable head tilt that may just seal the adoption deal. Freckles was also surrendered by his family (but never reclaimed) and is ready for a fresh start.

🐝Honey (A218843) True to her name, Honey is one sweet girl! This 6-year-old Labrador Retriever-Pointer mix is housetrained and knows how to sit, lie down, and shake. She loves walks, does wonderfully with children, and enjoys an occasional “pork chomp” treat.

🐕Buggy (A219198) This 9-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix is a professional belly-rub enthusiast! Buggy loves toys, fetch, and occasionally turns a dropped ball into his own soccer game. He’s affectionate, easygoing, playful, and ready to be someone’s best buddy.

National Dog Day is a celebration, but for shelter dogs like these sweet dogs, finding a family is the real prize. 🏡❤️

The Plano Animal Shelter’s facility is open seven days a week from 9:00am to 6:00pm, with Saturday and Sunday hours from 10am to 4pm. You can learn more about their adoptable animals and their hours of operation via their webpage: PlanoAnimalShelter.org

Today is Fentanyl Awareness and Prevention Day.

Fentanyl is involved in more overdose deaths than any other drug in the U.S. Today we stand with families, first responders, and communities working to stop these preventable tragedies.

Just two milligrams—an amount small enough to fit on the tip of a pencil—can be deadly. This powerful synthetic opioid is often mixed into other drugs without a person’s knowledge, making it especially dangerous and unpredictable. Awareness, education, and prevention save lives.

Know the signs. Talk to your loved ones. Together, we can make a difference. Awareness saves lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.

🚔PLANO POLICE HERO CARD SERIES: TWO ROLES. ONE MISSION🕵️

Our Hero Card Series is expanding! We’re now featuring two different Hero Card styles, giving our team members a choice in how they’re represented. This week, Officer A. Wondwossen #2104 chose the Plano Blue Line Card, while Criminal Investigative Assistant Kaitlyn Rosales chose the Plano PD, Texas Card.

🚔Officer A. Wondwossen #2104 serves on 3rd Watch in our Patrol Division, where he is a respected member of his crew known for his professionalism, friendly personality, and commitment to growing as an officer.

His supervisor, Sergeant J. Pace, shared: “Officer Wondwossen demonstrates a desire to learn and grow as an officer and is always receptive to feedback. He does a fantastic job at treating crime victims with compassion and empathy.”

🔎 Criminal Investigative Assistant Kaitlyn Rosales works alongside our Juvenile and General Crimes detectives, providing valuable support that helps move cases forward. Her work behind the scenes is an important part of the investigative mission and our service to victims and families.

Her supervisor, Peyton Bradley, shared: “Kaitlyn is the ultimate team player in our unit. Her dedication to the job, outstanding work ethic, commitment to excellence, and ability to tackle tough tasks with a positive attitude makes a profound difference every single day, and we are incredibly lucky to have her on our team.”

Different roles. Different cards. One shared commitment to service. 💙 Whether responding to calls on patrol or supporting detectives as they investigate cases, both missions are essential to serving our community, supporting victims, and keeping Plano safe. We’re proud to feature Officer Wondwossen and Kaitlyn in our Plano PD Hero Card Series!

A special thank you to Shutterfly for partnering with the Plano Police Department by providing Officer Wondwossen and Kaitlyn with their own set of Hero Cards. Your support helps us continue building positive relationships with the community in which they serve.

🚲 E Bikes in Plano: Know Where You Can Ride

E bikes are becoming more popular around Plano, and we want riders to feel confident about where they can legally and safely enjoy them.

In Plano, Class 1, 2, and 3 ebikes are generally allowed on city streets, authorized park surfaces, and most sidewalks, unless a posted sign indicates otherwise. These bikes are treated much like traditional bicycles under Texas law, which means they can be a great option for getting around town.

However, pocket bikes and mini motorbikes are not allowed on public roads or sidewalks. These devices are only permitted on private property.

If you’re unsure whether a location is approved for riding, take a moment to look for posted signs or check the park’s rules. A little awareness goes a long way in keeping everyone safe.

Ride smart, stay aware, and enjoy Plano’s beautiful trails and parks.
