One of the things I loved most about serving as your 2nd Ward City Councilwoman from 2008 through October 2025 was the incredible friendships I made along the way.
One of my favorite people is Billy—better known to many of us as “Flag Man.”
If you want to meet someone who truly loves our country, you need to meet Billy. 🇺🇸
You can usually find him proudly standing along the road, waving his American flags at passing cars. No matter the weather or the day, Billy is there with a smile on his face, enthusiastically waving to everyone who drives by. It’s impossible not to smile back.
About a month ago, I stopped to check on him and asked how he was doing. With the biggest grin on his face, he told me he was doing great. When I asked why he was so happy, he couldn’t wait to tell me that his favorite day of the year was coming—the Fourth of July. He went on and on about celebrating America’s 250th birthday and how proud he is to be an American.
Tonight, I saw him again. I honked, rolled down my window, and Billy was in one of his talkative moods, so I pulled over. We had another wonderful conversation, laughed together, and I finally got to take his picture.
Billy is always smiling. He’s always positive. He loves waving at every car that passes by, and his love for our country is contagious.
As I drove away, I couldn’t help but think about how people like Billy make our community so special. In a world that often feels rushed and divided, he reminds me to slow down, appreciate the little things, find joy in each day, and never lose pride in the country we call home.
Thank you, Billy, for your friendship, your infectious smile, and for reminding all of us that kindness, gratitude, and patriotism never go out of style. Keep waving those flags—you brighten more days than you’ll ever know. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 ... See MoreSee Less

🐾 Please Come Reclaim Your Furbaby! 🐾
Just look at all of these lost dogs that are still waiting for their families to come find them.
We have ZERO… let us repeat… ZERO open kennels. Every kennel is full, and we desperately need these sweet pups reunited with their humans.
If one of these dogs is yours, please come reclaim them today! We are open until 5:00 PM. If you can’t make it before then, please call us as soon as possible so we can make other arrangements.
Worried about reclaim fees? Please don’t let that keep you from bringing your dog home. We understand that times can be tough, and we’re happy to work with you. Our priority is getting these beloved pets safely back where they belong—with their families.
Please share this post so we can help reunite these sweet furbabies with their people. Every share could make the difference. ❤️🐶

🐾 Behind the Shelter Doors… Before We Open at 10:00 AM 🐾
Have you ever wondered what happens before our doors open each morning?
Our first Animal Control Officer arrives at 6:30 AM, followed shortly after by our Director. Additional Animal Control Officers begin arriving between 7:30 and 10:00 AM, and our dispatch team starts coming in at 8:00 AM.
Before the public even walks through our doors, the day is already in full swing. Kennels are cleaned, dogs are walked and given potty breaks, fresh food and water are provided, floors are mopped, voicemail messages are checked, and officers begin responding to calls as soon as a truck is available. From that moment on, it’s nonstop.
But caring for our shelter pets is about so much more than the basics.
Our team makes time every day for enrichment because every animal deserves love, comfort, and hope while they wait for a family. Some dogs enjoy relaxing on the couch in our Meet & Greet room, others get to run and play in our outdoor play yard, and of course there are treats, belly rubs, and plenty of attention along the way.
In our cat room, cats and kittens are fed, their kennels are cleaned, they receive treats, toys, and lots of cuddles to help them feel safe and loved.
Most people never see what happens behind the scenes, but every member of our team works tirelessly to ensure the animals in our care are healthy, comfortable, and know they are loved.
It can be exhausting. It can be overwhelming. But one thing never changes…
Our commitment to giving every animal the care, compassion, and second chance they deserve. ❤️🐾
