Bring joy to shelter pets this holiday season

Make the holidays brighter for pets in need. The Miami-Dade County Animal Services Department and the Miami-Dade Public Library System have launched the 5th annual “Presents for Pets” holiday donation drive, running Nov. 24 through Dec. 31.

Help spread holiday cheer by donating cozy blankets, pet beds, fun toys or tasty treats for shelter pets awaiting their forever homes.

“These thoughtful gifts bring warmth, comfort and hope to our shelter pets,” said Annette Jose, Director of Miami-Dade County Animal Services. “Your generosity reminds them that love is never far away.”
