Pat the Stress Away by Visiting Adoptable Dogs

Wellness Fair Is A Success

A SPECIAL THANK YOU FROM HR BENEFITS TO THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND OUR WELLNESS FAIR MARCH 15TH AND 16TH.

More than 500 members came out to visit with our vendors, get some of the free giveaways, pick up some tasty treats, and enter to win one of the raffle prizes. Thank you all for making it such a successful event!

Whatever your position here at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, you have a high stress job. Whether you are on the road or in an office, you are a vital part of the system that keeps our county safe and as such you may be subject to more stressors than many other workers. To help make your workday brighter and calmer – in the most adorable way possible – Pinellas County Animal Services will be bringing an adoptable dog to the SAB every two weeks so that PCSO members as well as Regional 911 and Emergency Management employees can take a moment to relax and maybe meet their new best friend.

Recently, Posy came by for a visit. She was turned in as a pregnant stray, but she obviously received a lot of love at some point in her life because she has an incredibly sweet and gentle nature. Her puppies were all adopted, and now four-year-old Posy is ready to find her forever home. Dozens of members came to say hello and were charmed to find a Staffordshire/ pit mix with a great personality who calmly greeted every newcomer and made the rounds like the belle of the ball, getting ear scratches and belly rubs from everyone. You could see tensions melting away as members from detectives to records specialists sat down on blankets for a few minutes for some puppy therapy before returning to work.

If you are interested in adopting Posy or any of the other dogs or cats at Pinellas County Animal Services, you can call them at 727-582-2600. Keep an eye out for information on upcoming visits from other adoptable good girls and boys.
