Dozens of dogs and cats found loving new homes during the “Open Your Heart and Your Home” mega pet adoption event and fundraiser on February 8 at Amelia Earhart Park.
The event was sponsored by County Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr., the county’s Animal Services Department, and the county’s Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department.
More than 50 animals were adopted, 26 dogs and 32 cats were spayed or neutered, and more than $1,000 was raised for the Animal Services Trust Fund to improve animals services in the county.
“I want to thank all the sponsors, participants and volunteers who helped make this event such a great success, as well as everyone in the community who showed they cared by taking home a wonderful pet and opening their hearts to improve animal welfare in Miami-Dade County,” Bovo said.
