BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Each week I pick a pet from one of our Animal Services Care Centers to highlight as our “Adoption Pick of the Week” and this week’s selection is Smooch.

Smooch is a neutered tri-colored “Hound Mix” male that is approximately 1 year old.

He is great around everyone and full of energy. Our team members have taken him to several events and he even ran with one of our employees in a 5k run last weekend.

He is extremely lovable and will make a great family pet.

Come see Smooch at our Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services South Animal Care Center as he would love to be home with his new family before Christmas.

To adopt “Smooch” please visit our website at Brevardsheriff.com or call our Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services South Care Center at (321) 253-6608.
