The City of Doral, in partnership with Miami‑Dade Animal Services, promoted pet adoptions and spotlighted two animals available at the city shelter: Roy, a 4‑year‑old pitbull mix, and Honey, a 3‑year‑old brown tabby.
City staff said the adoption push is intended to ease overcrowding at the local shelter and to connect residents with pets in need of homes. The announcement described Roy as a dog that enjoys playgroups with other dogs and Honey as a cat that “loves getting head rubs.”
Roy was introduced as a 4‑year‑old pitbull mix described as “sweet and endearing” and looking for “a patient and loving home.” Honey was introduced as a 3‑year‑old brown tabby likely to provide companionship to the right family. The announcement said the shelter has a variety of dogs and cats available for adoption and encouraged residents to consider rescuing a shelter animal.
A city staff member said, “When you rescue a shelter animal, you're not just gaining a pet, you're bringing home a new family member.” The recorded announcement listed miamiday.gov/animal for more information; the URL was supplied in the announcement.
Residents interested in adopting were directed to the city shelter in Doral and to the web address provided in the announcement for details about available animals and adoption procedures.
