Deputy Kenneth Sissney responded to an abandoned animal call on South County Line Road on Thursday and discovered the small fawn, according to Lieutenant Orlando Hinojosa, a spokesman for the sheriff's office.
Sissney took the fawn to the county's animal shelter, but not before snapping a few photos with his newfound friend.
Hinojosa said a veterinary technician at the shelter called a wildlife rehabilitation center that agreed to take the fawn.
