Our hearts are heavy today.

This morning in Porterville, Tulare County Sheriff’s Office deputies came under fire while serving an eviction notice. A detective who responded to assist was struck and, despite a courageous rescue effort, later passed away from his injuries.

This tragedy hits close to home. They are our neighbors, our partners, our extended family, and today we grieve alongside them. Please keep this deputy’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Pray for strength, for comfort, and for peace. And please keep all the officers still on scene in your prayers as they continue to face this dangerous and heartbreaking situation together.

Please see TCSO’ Press Release below:
TCSO Deputy Killed in the Line of Duty, Residents Urged to Shelter in Place

Sheriff Boudreaux is devastated to announce the loss of a Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Deputy, after he was shot and killed this morning in Porterville.

Around 10:20 a.m. on 4/9/26, TCSO Deputies were in the area Newcomb and Grand in Porterville serving an eviction notice, when 60-year-old David Morales opened fire on them, hitting one TCSO Deputy.

The Deputy was rushed to a local hospital, where we are heartbroken to confirm, he passed away. Right now, Deputies are still on scene, as Morales is outstanding and shots are still being fired. Sheriff Boudreaux wants to urge anyone in that area to shelter in place. All schools in the area are also lockdown.

Sheriff Boudreaux has met with the fallen Deputy’s family and offered his deepest condolences. All of us at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office are shocked and incredibly saddened by today’s tragic events. We ask that you keep our Deputy’s grieving family in your prayers.

Meet Paco! I had the pleasure of working with Paco yesterday and he is searching for an adopter! Paco is available through so please contact them for more info! He is neutered, vaccinated, and approx 1-2 years old. Good in the car, in a crate, and with other dogs of all sizes. Paco graduated from the Paws to Prison Training Program and has some basic obedience under his belt. Loves to play and seems good with kids. Share with anyone interested in a nice family dog in central California!

Yes!

A lot of dogs want you to know this -

Instead of a fancy collar and bed? They’d rather have a fenced in yard - even if it has to be small and home made - so they can have off leash time to dog and dig.

Instead of daily neighborhood walks? They’d rather you drive to a dirt road and put them on a 30ft line and let them zig zag and smell as long as they like

Instead of twice daily meals in a bowl? They’d rather have food through enrichment activities that stimulates their brain and their nose.

Instead of basic obedience training? They’d rather have purpose driven training that feeds their genetic make up and needs AND helps them survive and thrive in todays world.

Instead of a human wanting something from them? They’d love a human wanting to understand them better.

Instead of focusing on perfect “heels” and “stays”? They’d love to learn how to be resilient and less stressed and cope with the outside world and our expectations.

Instead of harsh punishments and corrections? They’d prefer proactive management and rewards for good decisions.

We can’t change everything about the lives our dogs are forced to live with us in, but we can make these kinds of changes and see a huge improvement in their quality of life and wellbeing.
