Not your typical quinceañera: Lulu is 15 years old, so we threw her a quinces! She loved her cake and roses, but wasn't too crazy about her crown. 👑
Lulu is a such a sweet senior, and just look at that little tongue! She's still looking for a home, so come meet her today!
Santa made a special delivery yesterday, taking 10 shelter dogs North to find homes for the holidays!
Miami pups aren’t used to the cold, so Santa’s helpers dressed them in Christmas sweaters! Thanks, Santa and our rescue partners at One Love Pet Adoptions in Scottsville, NY!

Yesterday our team rescued 99 dogs and five cats from a South Dade property. These pets were victims of neglect and rescued by Miami-Dade Animal Services from inhumane conditions. The dogs are small to medium size Shih Tzu, Basset Hound and terrier mixes.
Animal Services is at critical capacity and our pets need your help. With more than 650 pets in our care, we have no vacancies and must temporarily suspend receiving pets. This emergency action will be in place until the shelter population aligns with our capacity for care.
Donations needed! We've been amazed by the number of new fosters this week. Our community has really stepped up to help! So much so, that we need more supplies! We use donations to send foster parents home with supplies to care for a shelter pet at home.
She’s all smiles now! 19-year-old Annabelle was one of the 99 neglected dogs we rescued last week.
We so are happy to report that this senior dog has been adopted. On the right is a photo sent to us from her new family. Just look at that Before and After!
We love being an “open intake” shelter, taking in and caring for all dogs and cats that come to us.
Right now, the number of pets coming in is outpacing the number being adopted or taken in by rescues. Please share this story and help us get the word out!
Wow, 49 adoptions in two days! Thanks to everyone who adopted over the weekend, but we still need help finding homes for our pets this holiday season!
Save a shelter pet and we’ll waive your adoption fee – and give you a Publix gift card for Turkey Day (while supplies last).
We’ve hit 50 adoptions so far! Beautiful dogs and cats will be coming to

Sweet Effy is our little Valentine today! Our clinic team gave Effy's injured leg a little extra love today, decorating her cast with hearts. Effy is expected to make a full recovery and is now available for adoption!
All clean! This pup got a bath today after being rescued with 98 other neglected dogs. He came in with filthy, matted fur and is coming out fresh and clean!
We are getting these pets healthy and looking their best before they’re ready to be adopted!

As Miami-Dade responds to COVID-19, Animal Services is working diligently to keep our County’s pets safe while also protecting our staff. Last week our team responded to our first case of a dog in need of our help due to the pandemic.
Look at this slice of chunky kitty goodness! We’re currently obsessed with Amy, a gorgeous Siamese cat who weighs a whopping 35 lbs. We’ve put her on a special diet and have been walking her on a harness and leash to try and get her moving!

Will you give one of our furry friends a second chance at living their best life?
How could you NOT take a pup home after a moment like this? Here’s just one family who added a new member at Adopt-O-Mania on Sunday. It was love at first sight!

Look at her go! Lucky (A2063179) came to us as an injured stray. We hooked her up with some new wheels, and just like that, her personality went from quiet to curious! Here she is exploring our clinic.
We are looking for a rescue or adopter who can take in this spunky girl!
We are so grateful we were able to help pet owners who have been affected by COVID-19 today with our drive-thru pet food bank. Miami-Dade Animal Services distributed more than 11,500 lbs. of dog and cat food to residents in 478 vehicles to help a total of 1,267 pets!
