March 30, 2023 - Tulare County Sheriff's Office officials report that around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office HEART Unit went out to the homeless encampments along the Tule River to give them information about the flooding and incoming rain this week. They offered resource referrals, shelter locations and handed out blankets.

While at an encampment, deputies heard a dog yelping. They walked over to the river and noticed a dog had fallen in. TCSO Corporal Florence Cotton was able to rescue the dog and bring it to shore. The dog was not hurt and given back to the owner.

Thank you, Corporal Cotton!
