WHITE & RESCUE CALENDAR
Special pals is selling a 2017 Red, White & Rescue
Calendar, a project helping to fundraise for the
shelter. The Red, White & Rescue Calendar is a

animal lives.” Eight local agencies are represented in the 2017 Red, White & Rescue Calendar: Fort
Bend County Sheriff’s Office, Katy ISD Police Department, Fort Bend EMS, Katy Fire Department,
Richmond Police Department, Fulshear Police Department, Harris County Sheriff’s Office and
