So proud of the team at our sister practice, Parkway Veterinary Emergency Clinic!

, AscendVets

There are so many people and organizations that the Polk County Sheriff’s Office would like to acknowledge and thank for their part in getting our K9 Ace the help he needed after he was shot by a suspect on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

Immediately after he was wounded, Ace was taken to Parkway Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Lakeland where his bleeding was stopped and he was stabilized by Dr. Oscar Aguayo and his team.

Once stabilized, Ace was picked up by Tampa General Hospital’s Aeromed helicopter with pilot Chad Loftin (Metro Aviation), Chief Flight Nurse Tracy Sanderson (TGH), and Flight Paramedic Kenny Switzer (TGH).

Aeromed transported Ace to Veterinary Medical Center at Lakewood Ranch in Bradenton to be cared for by Dr. Devon Diaz and his team.

Ace is a 7-year-old German Shepherd. He has been with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office since March of 2020.

He was shot in the front left leg. The bullet broke his leg and tore an artery which caused him to lose a lot of blood.

The PCSO is truly grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support from our community. We appreciate the support for our deputies involved last night, and of course for Ace and his well-being.

Many have reached out to the PCSO asking if there was anything they could do.

Polk Sheriff’s Charities, Inc. has an established K9 Fund that will be used to support K9 Ace’s care. For those who have asked how they can help, donations may be made directly to the K9 Fund through the link below. Once on the donation page, simply select “K9” from the dropdown menu.

The Wiltse Family Trust has already informed us that they intend to cover the cost for Ace’s care at Veterinary Medical Center the Lakewood Ranch AND the Trust has already committed to purchasing a new K9 to replace Ace now that he will have to retire.

Again, we sincerely appreciate the continued support, kindness, and generosity shown to our K9 Unit during this difficult time.

🐾✨ It's Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week! ✨🐾
This week, we're celebrating the incredible people who are often the first voice you hear and the first face you see when you walk through our doors — our amazing veterinary receptionists!
These dedicated team members do SO much more than answer phones and schedule appointments. They are the:
📋 Schedulers — juggling appointments, emergencies, and everything in between
💛 Comforters — calming anxious pet parents and nervous fur babies
📞 Communicators — relaying important medical information with care and accuracy
🌟 Problem Solvers — handling the unexpected with a smile every single day

They show up early, stay late, and give their hearts to every patient and client who comes through our clinic — all while keeping everything running like a well-oiled machine behind the scenes.

To our Client Care Specialists: You are seen. You are valued. You are so deeply appreciated. We could not do what we do without you!

💛Join us in celebrating and thanking them this week- Show them some love! 👇🐶🐱
