BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — This week’s “Sheriff’s Pick Of The Week” was supposed to be Tiger but before we could get him posted on FaceBook he was adopted by the Rosato Family of Melbourne.

While I was out riding my motorcycle earlier today I stopped by the South Animal Care Center to visit with our staff.

While there I was also visiting with Tiger as the Rosato family came in to adopt a dog.

We shared Tiger’s story with them and that she had been identified for this week’s “Sheriff’s Pick of the Week” and they decided to make her part of their incredible family.

Thank you to the Rosato family and to everyone else who adopts animals from our Animal Care Centers and from the other amazing Care Centers throughout Brevard County.
