Miami-Dade County Animal Services (Animal Services) has announced effective immediately it has extended weekend operating hours to better serve the community and help more pets find homes.
The shelter now will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, providing additional opportunities for potential adopters to visit and meet the dogs and cats in their care.
Animal Services currently has more than 600 dogs and cats available for adoption, and this schedule change is intended to make it easier for families to visit the shelter. Whether someone is looking for a puppy, an older dog, a kitten, or a senior cat, the shelter offers pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds waiting for their forever homes. You are sure to find a perfect match with the wide variety of shelter pets available for adoption.
All adoptable pets at Miami-Dade County Animal Services are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to join new families. The shelter encourages anyone considering adoption to visit during the new weekend hours.
For those unable to adopt, Animal Services offers other ways you can help and get involved, including fostering pets, volunteering, or donating to support the care of the animals in their care.
For more information on adoptions, fostering, or the new weekend hours, visit www.miamidade.gov/animnals, contact Miami-Dade County Animal Services at 311, or follow on social media @adoptmiamipets.
Every year Miami-Dade County Animal Services Department (Animal Services) provides care and refuge 15,000 lost, abandoned, injured, ill, or abused dogs and cats and affords vaccination and sterilization services to almost 20,000 free-roaming community cats. Every day, Animal Services staff works diligently to find lifelong homes for these abandoned animals by facilitating onsite adoptions, hosting offsite adoptions at events and locations throughout the community, and working collaboratively with rescue organizations, volunteers, and adoption partners.
