REUNITE LOST PETS WITH THEIR FAMILIES
Santa Rosa County Animal Services (SRCAS) is proudly joining forces with Petco Love, a national nonprofit organization working to lead and inspire change for pets – and animal welfare organizations across the country, on a shared mission to help reunite lost pets with their families should they ever go missing, through Petco Love Lost. Sadly, according to industry statistics, one in every three pets will go missing in their lifetime.
Petco Love Lost is a free, easy-to-use lost-and-found tool that unifies lost and found pet listings from across the country— including posts from thousands of animal welfare organizations, Nextdoor, and Neighbors by Ring—into one searchable database. The platform uses photo-matching AI to help reunite pets by comparing images of lost pets with those of found pets. Accessible to both animal welfare organizations and the general public, Petco Love Lost allows anyone who has lost or found a pet to upload a photo and instantly search for possible matches in nearby shelters or in the community. Features include a scrollable list of pets currently in SRCAS's care and an interactive map that displays lost and found reports, shelter pets, and community posts from Neighbors and Nextdoor—all conveniently viewable on SRCAS’s website.

UWF CENTER FOR CYBERSECURITY HIGHLIGHTS CYBERSKILLS2WORK PROGRAM IMPACT ON CAPITOL HILL
On June 24, the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity hosted a showcase for the National Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program, CyberSkills2Work, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The Showcase highlighted the program’s success and impact to legislators and federal partners. “CyberSkills2Work started in 2020 as a vision to address the national cybersecurity workforce challenge holistically,” said Dr. Eman El-Sheikh, associate vice president, UWF Center for Cybersecurity. “Today, we are proud to highlight that the program has prepared more than 3,500 transitioning military, veterans and first responders for cybersecurity and AI work roles at no cost to them. In addition, we have built the framework for a scalable national program that strengthens our cyber workforce and national security for the future. We are truly grateful for the support of our legislators, federal, employer, and academic partners to make CyberSkills2Work successful.”
Legislators and their staff from across the nation attended the showcase and met with the CyberSkills2Work team, including Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL), Congressman Jimmy Patronis (FL), Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN), Congressman Brad Finstad (MN) , and Senator Mike Rounds (SD).
El-Sheikh presented an overview of the program and shared the impact it has made since its establishment, and was joined by the academic coalition team and program alumni. Keynote remarks were also given by Mark Gorak, Principal Director, DoD Chief Information Officer, Resources and Analy -
sis, Director, Cyber Academic Engagement Office; and RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, Senior Director, Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation, Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Other coalition members in attendance include Dakota State University, Eastern New Mexico University – Ruidoso, Florida International University, Metro State University, Cyber Florida at the University of South Florida, University of Texas at San Antonio, and Columbus State University.
The National Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program is an innovative, nationally scalable solution for significantly expanding the cybersecurity workforce. Funded by the NSA National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) Program and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), CyberSkills2Work.org prepares eligible participants for cybersecurity and AI work roles at no cost through instructor-led training, industry certifications, hands-on skills development, and career development support. Over the past five years, the coalition of 10+ NCAE-C institutions led by the University of West Florida has offered 85 educational pathways that prepare for 17 industry certifications, 15 DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF) and 15 NICE work roles, and trained 3,500 transitioning military, first responders and veterans for rewarding cybersecurity careers.

“We work tirelessly for pets in our care, and that includes helping lost pets get home and back to their families where they belong,” said Santa Rosa County Animal Services Chief Randy Lambert. “There’s nothing more rewarding than reuniting families with their beloved pets and with Petco Love Lost, we’re confident it can lead to many more happy reunions, right here in Santa Rosa County.”
“We know that one in three pets goes missing in their lifetime, an estimated 10 million pets each year, and we’re not ok with that,” said Petco Love President Susanne Kogut. “That gives us 10 million reasons why we created Petco Love Lost, because we believe nothing is more important than keeping people and pets together for a lifetime of love. Together with Santa Rosa County Animal Services, our goal is to unite
