          From Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, adoption fees at the Pet Adoption and Protection Center and other select locations are waived for pets over 4-months-old.* Adopters will only be responsible for the $30 license fee for dogs.  

          Use the savings to gift your pet a fluffy new bed, purchase a pet health insurance plan or indulge in a pet-friendly sofa blanket. 

          Waived fee adoptions are available at the following locations:

          • Miami-Dade County Pet Adoption and Protection Center
          • Animal Services off-site adoption events
          • Select PetSmart locations: Cats - Flagler, West Kendall & Dadeland; Dogs (weekend adoption events) - Flagler, Coral Gables & Midtown
          • Select Petco Locations: Dogs/Cats - South Dixie; Cats - West Kendall

          *Waived fee does not apply to puppies under four months. Adoption fee for puppies is $85.

          You can't put a price on love. Pets are priceless.

          Come by in December to adopt your priceless pet. Call 311 for more information.
