The Polk County Sheriff's Office would like to thank Dr. Nick Buchanan and his crew from Bonnie Brae Vet Hospital. We would also like to thank Riley Belue, Pam Waters, Lani Hasslebring, Nancy Phelps and Sarah McDonald for volunteering to ensure that the Spring 2026 Rabies Clinic held at the Sunny View Fire Department was a success.

There were over 83 animals vaccinated to not only safeguard our pets but also to enhance the safety of our community.

Lastly, we would like to extend our appreciation to our Animal Control Officers Patti Lovelace and Samantha Herrington as this event concluded "Animal Control Appreciation Week". We appreciate their dedication to the safety of both our county's animals and our community.
