Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption & Protection Center

Beware, there is a secret angel hiding in this place. I don’t know her name yet. Younger, shorter brown skin girl in purple. Visualize your dream companion, feel the connection before you go. If you are authentic and don’t force it, YOUR dog, or furball WILL choose you. Little angels can help 🥰. Whole staff is on point, everyone is compassionate and flexible. Manager Jerry, a real approachable solid Hue-man. Stop hesitating, your best friend is waiting for you!! Also, don’t force a name 😛, connect to your pet, it will come organically.

Never again! It was chaos the day I went to this place looking to adopt a cat that I had chosen online. What they don't tell you is that if the cat is being fostered elsewhere you are on your own. They give you a slip of paper with an email address and tell you that maybe you will get a reply if the pet is still available, but they have no information. The other cats I saw online had been adopted, so obviously no one is updating the site. I drove all the way from County Line Rd for nothing. When we decided to see the cats they had, the one we liked, had a sign saying she was available. We went back to the desk and were told we had to take another number and get back in line only to find out that she actually wasn't available due to being treated for some illness.

Such a Special Place I absolutely love this place. The people here are so kind, passionate, and truly dedicated to helping animals find the loving homes they deserve. Every time I visit, I see beautiful pets just waiting for a second chance—and it’s clear how much care and effort goes into making sure they’re healthy, safe, and matched with the right families. I’ve come here multiple times to adopt and foster, and each experience has been amazing. You can feel the love and commitment the staff and volunteers have for every single animal. If you’re thinking about adopting or fostering, this is definitely the place to go. They truly make a difference!

Please please help them , ADOPT A DOG IS A BLESS even by been volunteer or foster they will be happy they just need love and go out for more than 10 min a day 🙏🏻🥹

Oddly rude man doing the vaccinations in the wellness clinic on 2/26. Most of the older staff in general seem to lack manners. Always had a decent experience in the adoption area and with the younger staff. Efficiency doesn't have to replace basic decency in how people are treated. For the long wait and poor service it's worth going to a vet instead if you can afford it.
