Pets of Miami Lakes

Community By Linda Trischitta, Editor Friday, November 4, 2022

      Wade Acosta is ready to make new friends! 

      This apricot miniature Poodle lives in downtown Miami Lakes with Gabriela Gomez and Ray Acosta.

      The couple take Wade to Chela’s Beer Garden to meet neighbors and for walks along Main Street, too.

     “He’s very social and he loves it,” Gomez said.

     Wade also enjoys going to the beach at Haulover Park in Miami Beach and is “a huge Miami Heat fan just like Mom and Dad!” she said.

     Gomez is a former Miami Heat dancer, and Acosta works for the team as a DJ and part of the in-game entertainment staff.

     They named their pet after retired star Heat guard Dwyane Wade.

     When he’s not socializing, Wade the poodle enjoys stealing socks, zooming about their home and snuggling with the couple to watch ESPN.
