A1A Animal of the Week
Meet “Gator”… when he arrived at the shelter he was very malnourished. But- Even with what Gator has been through he has always been a very happy boy. He was picked to participate in the Brevard Sheriffs eight week “Paws and Stripes” program that recently graduated! During this eight-week course, inmates train their canine partners to be responsive to both voice commands and hand signals. The dogs are housebroken and learn all basic obedience skills to include: heel, sit, down, stay, and come. At the end of their training, the canine recruits are tested by an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and receive their CGC Certification prior to finding a permanent home.
This handsome boy is looking for his forever family. He is very laid back and loving. He gets along with other dogs. We estimate him to be 3 years old.
FYI: There were 14 dogs in the last class and only 4 others in addition to Gator are available for adoption at the South Animal Care Center since graduating last week. Dogs over 50 lbs are free this month so go take a look! Please re-share 321-253-6608
