BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – I am so happy for our “Save Me Saturday” pick from last week, Stash, who got adopted earlier this week and now has a forever family and home.

BCSO-STAR-180This week’s Sheriff’s Pick of the Week is Charlie, who is an amazing three-year old mix who has been in our Care Center for 29 days.

Unfortunately, Charlie was left in the gate box out front of the South Care Center.

Earlier this week, Charlie was with our team at the Bass Pro Dog Days event in Palm Bay and got along with every dog he came in contact with.

He was playing with a chihuahua for part of the morning and he interacts very well with kids.

In fact, Charlie was curled up with a little girl at the last Adoption Event and took a nap in her lap.

He would be a great dog for any family.

Charlie is very mellow and sweet. He’s a little guy and only weights about 45 lbs.

If you would like to visit Charlie or take him home as part of our Pajama Pup Program to see just how awesome he is please call our South Animal Care Center at 321-253-6608.
