Pets are family, and can bring hope, companionship and unconditional love. Adopting a pet in need of a home can bring joy and also positively impact communities, alleviating strain on overcrowded shelters. That’s why from March 24 to 30, 2025, Miami-Dade County Animal Services (Animal Services) will bring adoptable pets to two PetSmart locations, PetSmart Flagler 8241 W. Flagler St Miami, FL 33144 and PetSmart W. Kendall 16514 SW 88th St Miami, FL 33196 from 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. for PetSmart Charities® National Adoption Week. Animal Services aims to find homes for approximately 50 pets during the event.
The grant funds will be used to support activities related to preparing animals for adoption through the PetSmart Charities adoption program including but not limited to veterinary care, staffing, sheltering, supplies, marketing, and technology. PetSmart Charities connects adoption partners such as Animal Services with local PetSmart stores to bring adoptable pets in for adoption events and meet and greets. These include pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Staff and volunteers are available to help make ideal matches considering lifestyle and other preferences such as energy levels, personalities, sizes, etc.
“PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week provides an incredible opportunity for us to connect with the community and help more pets find forever homes,” said Annette Jose Director of Miami-Dade County Animal Services. “With this grant, we can ensure each pet gets the care and recognition they need to find their perfect family, while increasing adoptions and strengthening our community.”
“Our local shelter and rescue partners are overflowing with animals looking for people to love. Adopting or fostering a pet not only enriches your life but is the best way to support your community and local partners like Animal Services in their lifesaving work,” said Heidi Marston, director of pet placement at PetSmart Charities. “There is nothing like the unconditional love of a pet! Please stop by your neighborhood PetSmart store and meet your new best friend.”
