MiamiAlive is about Miami-Dade County Animal Services pledge to save the lives of our community's shelter pets. It's about making Miami-Dade County a No Kill Community. It's about the challenges we face, and the ways in which we are committed to facing those challenges. It's about working with the people in our community and working with our partners to ensure that we explore, initiate and implement the programs and services that keep our pets alive. Because saving lives is our pet project.
We are committed to saving the lives of our shelter pets, many of who were abandoned in dire straits at the shelter without another hope in the world. Fortunately, we set them up for the second chance at life that they all deserve. By using No Kill shelter methods, we are the initiator of a grand life-saving effort in our Miami-Dade County to ensure that these precious pets get the forever homes they long for.
We tirelessly work to find life-long homes for the thousands of abandoned pets in our care by offering onsite adoptions, hosting off-site adoption at events and locations throughout the community.
To enable animal-lovers who are unable to adopt yet, our fostering program is the perfect fit. For every pet we foster out, a place at the shelter opens up for another needy pet.
We desire to find stable, lasting homes for abandoned pets. If you share this desire, come alongside us in our mission to save the lives of our community’s most neglected pets.
To nip animal overpopulation in the bud, we provide low-cost spay and neuter services, the most humane and long-term method available to save the lives of thousands of pets.
Rescue organizations provide a safety net for thousands of needy shelter pets. We initiate rescue partnerships to place these precious pets in the home their heart is.
We’ve expanded our borders by hosting pet adoptions at events and locations throughout the community. Look for us – or our “can’t miss” mobile pet adoption trailer, named the HOPE Express – in malls, parks, festivals and at community events.
Abandoned pets need our help, and we need yours. There are so many ways you can help and make a positive mark in the life of homeless pets in our community.
