Pet Receiving Closed this Coming Weekend Friday, May 31, 2013 through Sunday, June 2, 2013


In preparation for a pet adoption event on Sunday, June 2nd, 2013, Miami-Dade County Animal Services Department will be temporarily closing pet receiving on Friday, May 31st through Sunday June 2nd.   We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause and apologize for the brief suspension of services.  Regular services will resume Monday, June 3rd

Each year, Animal Services receives over 30,000 pets. The goal of this event, as with any event in which the Department participates, is to increase pet adoptions and community awareness and involvement with the shelter.  It is our goal to find loving homes for these shelter pets and to reunite them with their families. To adopt a pet, become a foster parent or a volunteer, please visit www.miamidade.gov/animals or call 3-1-1.
