City of Doral, Miami‑Dade Animal Services spotlight shelter pets Alvarez and Ragu
Summary
A City of Doral announcement highlighted two shelter animals available for adoption — Alvarez, a 4‑year‑old chocolate lab mix, and Ragu, a 2‑year‑old black cat — and encouraged residents to consider adoption to ease shelter overcrowding.
A City of Doral staff announcement said the city, working with Miami‑Dade Animal Services, is promoting pet adoption and spotlighted two animals available for adoption: Alvarez, a 4‑year‑old chocolate Labrador mix, and Ragu, a 2‑year‑old black cat.
The announcement noted Alvarez is a "sweet and gentle low energy" dog who gets along with other animals and is social with people, and that Ragu is a playful cat who enjoys human attention and has recovered from a difficult start. The City said both animals are ready to find permanent homes.
City staff emphasized the broader goal of easing overcrowding at the local shelter and encouraged residents to consider adopting rather than purchasing pets. The announcement described adoption as giving an animal a second chance and bringing home a "new family member."
For more information about available animals and adoption procedures, the City directed residents to Miami‑Dade Animal Services at miamidade.gov/animal.
