Can I put a hold on an animal?

• At this time, we are unable to reserve a specific animal or secure an adoption by calling the shelter ahead of time. Only by going in person to the Animal Services Shelter can you complete the adoption. If you are a Miami-Dade County resident, you could take the pet as a Foster to Adopt.
  
  
• Not all pets in the website may be available for adoption. You must go in person to see which pets are available. Some pets may have not passed the health and/or temperament evaluations or may be pending evaluation, so you may not be able to see them.
