Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Parcipates In SPCA Dog Stroll Event
BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA – I had the honor of being the Grand Marshall at the SPCA Dog Stroll while walking one of our newest K-9 members, “Titan” of our Corrections K-9 Unit.
The event was held at Sand Point Park in Titusville to bring awareness about having healthy pets and also to support the SPCA who does an amazing job at finding forever homes for animals in our community.
Our Animal Services Team also brought some of our adoptable animals to the event that was set up with many of the animal business partners throughout our community.
And of course we brought “Koda” another member of our K-9 Team as he is always a crowd favorite.
I would like to thank the volunteers and members of our agency who were at the event, everyone from our community that came out to support the event, and Patrick Fox of the SPCA for not only holding the event but for asking our agency to participate.
