Sheiba Chardonnay is
of Maine Coon breed and on October 26,
2001 was rescued from the Bay County
Humane Society and indoctrinated into
the Panama City Beach Police Department.
Sheiba is not only the Departments
Mascot but, a fulltime member of the
Department's Administrative
Division. Chief of Police Robert
Harding proposed a program within the
Department during a time when the Bay
County Humane Society had an over
abundance of orphaned dogs and cats and
was not really sure they could maintain
its then present status of care and
placement of these animals. The initial
proposal was to have the Department
adopt a needy animal, which might lead
the way for other local Law Enforcement
or Government Agencies to follow,
therefore assisting the humane society
in finding good homes for these animals.
On behalf of Chief Harding, the Panama
City Beach Police Department encourages
all local agencies as well as private
citizens to assist in this type of
program whether it be by donation of
time, a monetary donation or the
adoption of a needy animal. If anyone is
interested in developing such a program
as this please contact the Bay County
Humane Society.
