Miami-Dade County Animal Services (Animal Services) invites the community to adopt, not shop a shelter pet during the Open Your Heart and Your Home Pet Adoption Celebration, from Saturday, Feb. 4 through Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017. Pet adoption fees will be 50 percent off for pets over 4 months of age. Adopters can take home a furry valentine that is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go to a forever home.
The celebration kicks-off with a pet adoption and fundraiser event on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Amelia Earhart Park, Bill Graham Farm Village, 401 E 65th St, Hialeah, FL. The event, sponsored by Commission Chairman Esteban Bovo, Jr., Dist. 13, will also feature reduced pet adoption fees. The event will also provide free spay or neuter surgeries for dogs* as well as vaccines, microchips and tags at a minimal cost. Event-goers can also enjoy music, food trucks, pony rides, a farm animal petting zoo and activities for the entire family.
