According to the Niceville Police Department, the event is being held in partnership with the City of Niceville and the Niceville Fire Department, offering residents a chance to enjoy cocoa, meet local first responders, and spend time with adoptable dogs in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Three dogs will be available for adoption during the event.

One is Sister, a spayed mixed-breed dog described as affectionate, friendly, and very social. Estimated to be between three and five years old, she enjoys being around people and is closely bonded with her brother, with whom she does best.

Her brother, an intact mixed-breed male estimated to be about one year old, is described as calm, loyal, and gentle. Organizers say he enjoys leisurely walks and quiet companionship and would do best in a home without other dogs, ideally alongside his sister.
