City of Doral, Miami‑Dade Animal Services promote pet adoptions; shelter highlights Lina and Ghost
Summary
A City of Doral staff member said the city, working with Miami‑Dade Animal Services, is promoting pet adoptions to ease shelter overcrowding and showcased two animals available for adoption: Lina, a 3‑year‑old bulldog, and Ghost, a 3‑year‑old white cat.
A City of Doral staff member said the city, in collaboration with Miami‑Dade Animal Services, is promoting pet adoptions to find permanent homes for dogs and cats housed at the local shelter. "Remember, when you rescue a shelter animal, you're not just gaining a pet, you're bringing home a new family member," the staff member said.
The announcement described two featured animals: Lina, a 3‑year‑old bulldog who "absolutely loves belly rubs" and enjoys spending time with people, and Ghost, a 3‑year‑old white cat who likes head rubs and is ready for adoption. The staff member encouraged residents to consider adopting to help "ease the overcrowding of our shelter."
The message directed residents seeking more information to the city's online resource (listed in the announcement as "miamiday.gov/animal"). The transcript of the announcement referred to "Miami Dade Bridal Services Department," which appears to be a transcription error; the office working with municipalities on animal intake and adoption is Miami‑Dade Animal Services. The announcement did not specify adoption hours, fees, or the shelter's exact street address.
The item was presented as a community outreach notice rather than a formal council action; there were no motions, votes, or directives recorded in the transcript.
Residents interested in adopting or learning more were told to visit the online resource referenced in the announcement for details and next steps.
