“This appointment marks an exciting new chapter in the history of our Animal Services Department,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Her extensive experience, dedication to public service, and deep ties to the community make her the perfect leader to continue the important work of ensuring the welfare and well-being of the animals under our care. I am confident in Annette’s leadership and ability to usher the department forward with professionalism, excellence, and compassion.”
