NATIONAL DOG DAY - WORKING DOGS & WAITING DOGS
Today we celebrate the four-legged friends who make our lives just a little bit better!
Here at TPD, we may be a little biased. Our police K9s are more than partners, they help protect our officers, locate those who need help, assist in investigations, keep our community safe, and, when the work is done, remind us that sometimes the best thing in life is a ball, a treat, and a good belly rub.
But National Dog Day is about all dogs, mixed breeds, purebreds, working dogs, service dogs, family pets, and those still waiting to find their furever homes.
That’s why today we also want to recognize the work of the SPCA of Brevard Adoption Center and the dogs in our community still waiting for someone to take them home. Pictured are Brooks, Carlisle, Felicity, and Sasquatch, who are just a few of the available dogs at SPCA of Brevard Adoption Center that are available for adoption. Check out their website for the full listing of available dogs (and animals) available for adoption. https://www.spcabrevard.com/adopt
Whether they are working dogs or waiting dogs, every dog deserves the opportunity to live a happy, safe, healthy, and abuse-free life.
So today, give your pup an extra treat, take an extra walk, throw the ball a few more times, or consider supporting, fostering, or adopting a dog in need.
From our TPD K9 family to yours…
🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾
