BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Each week I select one of the incredible animals from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Care Centers as our “Sheriff’s Pick of the Week” and this week’s pick is Tucker.
Tucker is approximately 9 months old and is a boxer mix.
He is energetic and extremely smart. He plays well with other dogs and has been around cats.
Although he is a little shy when he first meets you he is a very lovable pet.
Tucker was part of our Paws and Stripes program and has learned basic obedience and walks well on a leash.
Tucker is a true success story as he was rescued as a puppy from a dog fighting ring and is ready to find a forever and loving home.
Tucker is available at the South Animal Care Center and is going to make a family a great pet.
To learn more about Tucker and all the other incredible animals in our Care Centers that are available for adoption please visit our website at Brevardsheriff.com or contact our South Animal Care Center at 321-253-6608.
