Reviews of Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption & Protection Center

Ava Hechavarria

About a month ago we came to this place to adopt a new kitten. This is where we got our cat Julie! They were clean and professional and when we got Julie she was already spayed which was amazing! They were also very organized. The cats and kittens were adorable and the dogs were too! There was also a cat named Islandboy which was funny🙂 …

Thea Nabity

There are so many wonderful animals looking for forever homes. All of December, they were wavering adoption fees for animals over certain ages. I forgot about dogs, but cats had to be over 4 months. We got our new member, Peter Pan. It was love at first sight for the both of us. He loves scratches on his chin and sides of cheeks. Also, the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Roberto Vizcon

Very nice, modern, large facility. Very busy. The clinic had a 3 hour wait. Good customer service. Lots of pets to adopt.

Angélica Melissa Rodríguez

After losing our beloved furry daughter, a female Jack Russell named Mia at the age of 16, and having her since she was born. It was very hard to decide adopting a new family member, but we have so much love in our hearts to give that we felt the need of getting another pet. This time we decided to adopt a kitten, but when we went to the shelter we found two little brothers, and they were so adorable together, taking care of each other and keeping each other safe and warm, that we didn't have the heart to separate them, so we decided to adopt them both. And I can say that was the best decision we had made as a family. They brought not only love, but happiness to our home, filling our hearts with peace, joy, and a lot of playing time we adore. We named them Mozart and Haydn Perdomo. They are completely healthy, smart, playful, happy, and very loved kittens. Thank you Miami Dade Animal Services!

Melanie Posada

They spay/neuter TNR for free. Drop off is at 7am daily!! You cannot call them because their phone goes to 311 (311 does not give accurate information). I went to the actual shelter to find out! Picked up kitty today ❤️ He is almost ready for a new home. Someone dumped him outside my house. Very sweet!!

Roberto Cardenal

The staff was very nice. Didn't have to wait in the long line to pay for my baby girls tag. Also left a large dog cot for the many dogs without a home. Adopted don't shop.

Beatriz Oviedo

My daughter adopted Nidorina in March 2022 and headed home to Pennsylvania.She loves the woods and the snow. She shares her forever home with 2 cats and gets along nicely. Our vets in Pa. were very impressed with Miami-Dade Shelter. We thank you all very much.

Lisa Marie

I went on an extremely busy day pre-tropical storm. Mercedes, Kennedy, Cinderella, and a man who was working the wellness clinic (did not get his name- older gentleman with prior medical background) were so incredibly kind and helpful. I was very frustrated and overwhelmed. It was disorganized and chaotic. I was referred in circles. I see some great potential in this place and I hope they correct the issues. Overall negative experience, but potential for improvement. Renovations and staff are excellent.

Lucia Gonzalez

They welcomed the kittens I brought and provided the information needed to get them ready for adoption. I am grateful for the services provided here.

Melanie Marie

I visited just to see what pups were waiting for homes and I was very happy with the establishment. It’s a shelter so shelters are always sad but the facilities were very clean, and they had the dogs separated in different rooms. If you’re thinking of adopting, please stop by here to see if your new BFF is here! I got pics of some adorable babes last week.

Angelo Aversa

I found my Olivia there, a wonderful orange tabby cat. It's a very clean place, full of wonderful people that give everything for the animals. Love them. Please adopt pets, don’t buy. You van find your next best friend here.

Valentina Carrasquilla

While it is out of our way this is agreat organization. If you need services at a fair price this is it. Be prepared to wait and be in line but they were very helpful. I ding 1 star because we did not get clear resolution on an issue with our past dog.

Gabriela Scialla

They came straight away to come help save a stray kitten in backyard that ate poison. I was so surprised! I called 6 pm and they showed up within an hour. The person that showed up was so nice and kind to us and the kitten. Great experience.

Pedro Luis Maberti

- Very well organized - Frendly and service oriented staff - Great Doctor ... Benjamin dis not even wink on any of the 2 shots or the microchip implant. - People ... please remember to pick after your pet, it is not the animal's fault that you are messy 😆

Mike Socarras

Couldn't be happier with my dog Gia. Great service great staff

Lior Friedman

This review is for a dog adoption experience. If, for some reason you're a cat person, you might find this review useful. Another tip: get a dog. We had a great experience. The place is very professional. We were taken into the rooms with the dogs for adoption, chose our dog, and registered the number to see if it is available. (Might want to pick more than 1 dog, as it's first come first serve). After verifying the dog is available for adoption, we were introduced to our new puppy, and taken outside for a meet and play session. After that session, if it went well, you can take your dog home. Our dog (all dogs) came with all vaccines and treatments, and we gladly payed the $65 fee. The dogs looked well kept and the staff was kind and very helpful. There's a med clinic outside the building to get all the things you might need, like a Victorian collar, etc. Please remember to bring a collar and a leash, but you can get a temporary one for $1. As part of the adoption, the dogs get a tag and a microchip, both need to be registered online. Simple, 5 minutes procedure, but if someone isn't comfortable with doing things online, they might need help to do it

Felix Valdes

Is a great to get a cat or dogs. They hone to love. We got two wonderful cats. A boy and a girl. Name Annie and negito. Thank you 😊. …

maryann silvestri

OMG! The BEST of the BEST! We were treated like "Royalty".The customer service is not only the best, but the facility is clean, and absolutely pleasant to be in.The staff/team make this facility the best...It just doesn't happen without the "Wonderful Staff". Thank you, Alfred, Adrian and Felipe. Betty....

Nicole Schweighardt-Haller

We definitely hit the jackpot with this sweet boy. We were fortunate enough to rescue this big baby! He was scared, uncertain & in need of medical care. However, once he was feeling better he quickly came out of his shell. There are SO many animals in need of simple love. If you are looking for a furever friend PLEASE check out MDAS💕

Sandra Umana

Affordable prices to keep your furry friends up to date with vaccines and County Licence Tag, also in this place you can find a lovely furry friend, that needs a home!

Joanna Martinez

It was an awsome experience I got the most humble pup! He is well trained and has the most cuddly face ever he loves his new home

Karen Nielsen Smith

Perfectly clean, with very nice staff members and volunteers to help you. Plus, they are a no-kill shelter. They even have areas to play outside!

Maja T.

We adopted our dog from this shelter and it was a great experience from beginning to end! We were impressed with the facility and how clean the kennels were. There were a handful of volunteers and staff around the kennels taking care of the dogs and cleaning up. The only thing I think needs work is informing the guests of the process. We weren't aware that we could go straight to the kennels to look. We saw people taking numbers and being called in so we took a number and waited, thinking that we had to wait our turn to view the available pets. We waited for about 20 minutes until we suspected the numbers were for people who already found a pet they were interested in adopting. We asked and off we went to view the available dogs. The number system indeed turned out to be their way of organizing people who were interested in doing a meet and greet with the pet/adopt a pet. We had to go back the next day since by the time we found the dog we wanted, it was closing time. We were helped by a kind gentleman with the adoption process. We were even given a leash, harness, and bed for free! All valued together for about $150.

Cinthya camacho

Great place. Had to put down my pet and was charged $35... called 9 veterinaries all wanted to charge around 250 to 300 dollars for the same service at Miami dade animal services. Clean. Very humane treatment.

Shana Gianino

Great place to adopt from. Staff does a great job managing the overwhelming number of animals, they seem to care about their well-being. They had a wide variety of breeds and sizes, we got an amazing pup from there.

Grace Kopp

If anyone was so nice and kind working without a trace, thank you people at the shelter when you more like you and less abandoned angels worldwide!

Shinobudoxx

Staff was very polite, and made the adoption process very simple, this is michi <3

Adam Yean

Clean but kind of all over the place for checking on the pets for adoption. Increase 1 star for the vaccine service, very well organized and rather short wait time.

Pedro Lanuza

I have visited this place a lot lately up until I finally adopted my new dog, Rocky. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and they know how to treat animals from what I saw. Only thing I'd recommend for them is to allow/recommend potential adopters to bring in approved treats and toys to interact with the dog. They claimed the dog I ended up getting had behavioral issues but he's been absolutely amazing so far. I gave him a treat and I instantly became his best friend.

Nick Bolet

Very considerate and excellent donations to select when adopting. Entire facility is well designed and staffed.

Robert j Morales

Loves every moment of it saw my dog the first day. I had to wait 4 days for him cuz just incase the owner came and got him. Hes a full breed American bulldog well taken care of all his shot and all for free at this place. They was very kind and professional. My dog name is Loso. Thank you guys

Cristian Amaya

It is such a heart touching place seeing all the beautiful creatures needing adoption. The clinical services were the most prompt and curtious attendants. I wish nothing but the best for those searching for a forever home and for those searching for companions to give it to them.

One2 B

Beware, there will be some waiting!! Lots of it! However, the prices will shut you up or maybe quiet you a little. So, stop barkin'! I have been there three times (as you may notice from my other reviews). There was again only one doctor to administer all the vaccines. I don't know why that is. Tip: don't go during lunch any day, the doctor takes his break and you wait for his return. The staff are pleasant and there were four windows open and staffed. Then you wait in a line in front of the doctor's examine room. My time was in and out in an hour and a half, not bad for thirty dollars! 3rd boosters for the twins for $30 each. What? You bet I will be back for their rabies & to chip them... Thanks for reading.

Bill C

We adopted 2 of our dogs from this place, there's a lot of sweet dogs that need to be rescued. The only thing is that the place stinks and is never clean, and you need to pay a fee of $65 for adoption. But if you go to Broward or West Palm Beach shelters there's not fee and the place and dogs are in better shape.

Gilberto del Pino

Took 5 cats to be fixed, his location was by South Dade Government Center. Each cat must have its own pet carrier. It was pn a Tuesday. They told me they will be ready to be pickup on Thursday after noon. A storm was approaching. The cats where taken to Doral their Center of operation. Got them back on Friday. Their delivery man was great and brought them right to my door. Their staff is very accommodating.

Jessica Vazquez

They made the adoption process so easy, very organized, clean, and overall great experience. We adopted an excellent dog and they helped making the process a lot easier.

Jose Luis Hernandez

Very friendly and professional staff always willing to help.A lot of animals that need TLC in this place ......come and adopt yours, my dream already came through and got my loving pet here .....Lots of luck

Nia

An awesome place. Clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They provide a loving and caring environment for all pets in the facility. I highly recommended. Very happy with my cat 🙂 …

Alicia C

Had a stray cat spayed - she was hanging around and kept on having kittens. Did a great job on her . Now we have a sweet stray with no chance for more kittens - thank you guys ! Cost = zero

V

It's already difficult enough to surrender an animal that was in our yard, but the whole procedure was quick and was made easier by the really nice staff. The center was very clean, great staff who were kind and professional. Update, we decided to come back and adopt her, we also gave a donation, they serve a great service to the community and every bit helps them help us and ours .😺🐕

Tamara Cuevas-Delgado

Very professional excellent customer service Bernie always very helpful and helping us with the process Always I will come back can not be a better place for our pets Bernie see you next year

Sophia Hoffman

I adopted my sweet kitten from here in January of 2021! I have also fostered neonatal kittens through this shelter and the fostering staff is awesome! While it may be hard to find a specific animal to adopt - many want to adopt the small dogs and are frustrated when they have already been claimed - there are so many animals that need forever homes at the shelter, and always a ton of sweet cats. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that the adoption process could be more streamlined, but the staff is doing a great job with the resources they have. If you're coming to adopt a pet, just be patient.

Oscar Llerena

Great experience adopting our new pet. Staff were very friendly and genuinely care about the animals in their care.

Dana Humes

My children and I had been shopping for a small dog to add to our family for sometime. We reached out to sheets and rescues in our area and the dogs were always gone. I called her one time and was told to come in and see what was available. We did and applied for a dog the same day. After his hold was lifted and he was neutered We were able to pick him up and bring him home 🏡 Everyone was super friendly and very helpful💗 5 Start Experience from beginning to end!

Sabrina Gordon

Animal Services was wonderful the staff was professional the wait time to get your dog vaccinated was not long at all they move very smoothly very good experience

Malva Bee

For the most part customer services is good, except one guy with white hair, he told me to go to the pet shop. Very rude.

Zach Low

Beautiful new location. Staff are friendly if a bit disorganized. Never let us know our dog we had a hold on had been returned to owner. Clean and safe facilities for all the animals.

Johanna Mora (Joy)

Always willing to help pets in need. Vaccination package is free as well as microchip. Fares for adoption are usually reduced during holidays. 💞💞💞 …

Ice Mendez

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff nice and clean. Variety of pets i was so happy to adopt my family Dog her name is Zoe 💓 from there they made the adoption process super easy and exciting. …

Lenin Elvir

Professional services , helpful on answers questions & recommendations as well for pets adoption. We got a 8 month dog name Chico we are so happy with this little guy. Thanks guys. Also if is possible help this facility with food , toys ,or anything in your possibility helping others is a good thing specialty for this little ones .

Codie Todd

This one is a mixed bag honestly. I think the veterinarians who operated on our cat did a nice job, atleast so far as we can tell. So the animals seem to be taken care of. And the prices were very fair. However, the front end of operations is incredibly disorganized and confusing for guests. Nobody really has any idea where to go. Scheduling a drop off time really doesn't actually mean you're in and out at that time. And some of the staff is rather rude, to the point of turning their head and just completely ignoring you. Then on the other hand, other members are so friendly and sweet. Overall, for the price I would say if you need a spay / neuter it is worth it, they also do vaccinations. But schedule ahead online. Do not just walk in, unless it is the first Friday of every month.

Steve Wilson

I was really impressed. I'm from West Palm Beach. I've never seen either versus shelters walking the pest off of the property.. It was so nice to see if that's going to take a little walk and there were ample employees everywhere. I'm definitely going to go back down there I was not able to get the dog that I wanted you to medical problems with him. But I'm definitely going back down there this election was good. Their facilities seem to be in good condition an extremely large.

Ulrrich

A little crazy, but very nice staff, very clean place. We found a beautiful puppy here.

Andrew Ogden

Got my boy in December 2021 and he’s been great. Process was smooth and they were communicative.

Dave M

The nicest people work and volunteer there. I don't know know his name she's older little Spanish guy when one walks in he's very helpful, knowledgeable. He did a great job of informing us and other people on the particulars of how it's works there..

nova stunts

I feel like they should explain the fees. The cashier asked me if I wanted to renew for 1 year or 3 years. First of all, I brought a letter to prove I get Medicaid it's $5 for the tag and $5 for the Rabies vaccination. That's the first thing I showed her. Common sense, I brought the letter to get it at that price. If the price significantly changes for 3 years the cashier should explain that. I calculated a price that I thought, and it was nothing near. She said it was $185.00, huge difference! I felt like that was unethical to not be clear with prices for the people that are clearly on a budget. Especially with inflation and the cost of living going up.

Ivanov Oliphant

Super Awesome staff..that went out of their way..to help me and my husband bring home our newest edition to our family.Thanks so much for the excellent service and kindness of everyone there. Our Lil Miss " Tia"( our Miniature Yorkie/PoodleMix) has already already made our home happier and has bought me so my joy. Thanks to all of you. Mr & Mrs Travis Oliphant Adoption date:2/22/2021

Erica Wayne

Great experience seeing all the animals who need to be adopted. Going back soon to find my new baby. Had too many to choose from.

Twin downing

When my daughter and this dog came in contact it was instinct connection. The workers were so helpful. The astomphere is very clean. I will recommend anyone to here. ❤

Tiffany Victoria

I was helped by Gala Karrion she is the most wonderful and helpful adoption counselor. If it wasn't for her, I am certain I would not have my sweet Ella today. She really went above and beyond helping me and was also extremely patient. AMAZING customer service and VERY knowledgeable. Thank you! ❤️

Rudy García

The manager or owner was excellent. Very attentive and professional. The store was well stocked and orderly. The puppies for sale looked that they were well cared for. Overall a pleasant experience.

Kristi Hinkle

Really good massages. I always go to Tina.. and Very personal customer service when booking

Jeffrey Cham

Great location to pick up a new puppy or kitten or older pets as well go pay them a visit and grab an animal!

Ana sings

Iceland.마이애미

I adopted Mittens, my lovely kitten from here 3 months ago(Oct 2020) and the adoption center people were nice. After that she got vaccinated here 3times in this place. A man who gave the 2nd Vaccine to Mittens was rude, but the rest people were ok. Last Dec 23rd, she got spayed, now she is fine now. Only there is a convex knot marks on her belly, and the part is still reddish and much less hair today. 😞 In Oct 2020, a entrance door and an exit door are different 'cause of COVID 19. You are not able to exit to the front door (the entrance door). There is an exit way in the back of the building. The Animal Clinic center also has the same system.

Josh Ferrer

Adopted a dog from here recently, very happy with the new addition to my family. Recommend this adoption center 100%

Rosalina Perez

I took in a stray and her newborn puppies and they were very attentive and loving with the puppies and the mom dog. no I did encounter a problem with the security guard that checks your temperature before entering the building he was very rude and short with the public. Other than that the services were great and fast

Hilda Maravilla

They were super helpful and ended up adopting two beautiful cats, funny I have been a dog owner for years but these babies melted my heart 😊❤🐱🐱 …

Christine De Jesus

I'm thankful they are there to help with vaccines and when people need help with other issues , but the veterinarian who issues the vaccines seems to be too rough when administering the vaccines .

Eva Carbot

I recently checked it out to start volunteering and I was taken aback by what an amazing faciliy. This is such an improvement and total different approach from the old animal shelter. The facilities are improved and client and people friendly. The animals seem much happier. Also, the shelter has changed to a no-kill shelter which is amazing. This means their adoptions rate is an average of 90%! They help kind homes for animals outside the state if necessary, and they only euthanize those animals that cannot be saved due to injury or illness, or cannot be rehabilitated. That is amazing and the community should do everything they possibly can to support this new and improved shelter. They are doing everything they can to adopt all their animals. I can't wait to become a regular volunteer. Check it out!!!

lisa thomas

It’s a hard to see all these beautiful animals waiting for a home. The people who work here are true hero’s for making the process so easy.

Ashley Marvin

Back in October my daughter and I went to the shelter to look for a dog to join our family. I was not wanting to make a decision on a dog right away. I still wanted my husband and son to meet a few with us as well. But Ron stool my heart, he was so kind and gentle to my daughter. We both fell in love and decided to take him home anyways. Well he is the perfect fit to out home.

Rigoberto Gato

Went with my 2 kids on Monday to adopt a dog. Looked through about 20 possibilities and all were adopted. Don't get me wrong, that's great to hear. Will definitely be back next week to try again. The place is amazing and the staff is great.

the best sound of miami

Great place to adopt a dog 🐕 but need more associates to help and eliminate the waiting line 2 to 3 waiting. Besides that everything is ok …

Y

I adopted my first dog after loosing ny sweetheart 5 years ago and its a blessing. Please adopt from here since as much as they want to help unwanted dogs they have too many and put them on the death row after a while. Dont let yourself go with the most beautiful and groomed one, you might be surprised whats underneath the saddest of dogs and the rewards of making him/her happy are triple!!

L.G.N

Great service they do, taking care of unwanted and stray animals. Thank you for loving those animals. ❤️🙏 …

OPS LLC (Onyx Protective Services)

Beautiful dogs everywhere. We didn't find the dog that we wanted but you might. They seem well cared for and ready for adoption or foster until adoption.

Juliette Hubbard

The employees here are heroes! They work tirelessly taking care of the animals, coordinating foster homes, and finding loving homes for the animals here. If you are interested in volunteering, fostering, or adopting a new pet I would definitely check here first. The people are great and the animals are very sweet and loving!

timothy mclaughlin

We adopted our wonderful senior Chihuahua from Miami Dade Animal Services a few weeks ago. “Mimi” is the best dog ever!! She was absolutely Terrified at the shelter, and even growling when people approached the cage. They said she was “fear aggressive” but now that she is comfortable in her forever home, we have found that she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She is the sweetest, most loving dog. I’m so happy she was not euthanized for being so terrified. Adoption was completely free thanks to a summer promotion. Staff was helpful. Lots of animals here, highly recommended A few months after we adopted Mimi we adopted another wonderful dog Lobo! They are best friends! (Boyfriend and girlfriend lol) Keep up the awesome work MDAS!

Piero Rosas

Amazing Animal Service & Shelter. Many Cats and Dogs ready to be adopted and taken home.

Very quick service to renew tag and shots. The guy at the counter was super quick to get me in and out. Less than 5 minutes with no appointment. Great job!

Aldo Garcia

Great facility. Staff was caring and engaged. The animals looked in good health. All things considered, I'd volunteer!

Katiusca “Katy” Perez

Came in today to vaccinate and to renew the license tag for my dog Bella. Employees are super friendly. The doctor arrives at 10am. I arrived earlier to be the first one and to be able to find parking. Sometimes there is no parking spaces available.

Belkis Gonzalez

I am so happy I decided to go Miami- Dade Animal Shelter. It was a Nice experience. The Animals were all looking healthy, A very clean environment, friendly Service.and I'm Happy to say I found my Best friend there. My LAB NAMED GINGER. IM so glad I decided to adopt my Dog there. 🐕 …

Mayra Ameneiro

Sara Abuzenadah

The service left me speechless, the facilities for the animals are well built, the volunteer that was with us was very respectful and nice and all the dogs looked healthy and well especially max the pit bull I really hope some one goes and adopts him I would have but my parents didn’t allow me

Orlene Lorenzo

Even though I have not found my lost dog. I adopted a beautiful puppy 3 mths old. She has made my family and I smile again. It's sad though to see so many big dogs there. Unfortunately I cant have a big dog now.. But as soon as we get our new house I will adopt 2 large ones and another small dog. I just hope we find our missing doggy. The white one is Lilly our puppy. Who has made us smile again. Please adopt and give these animals a loving home. They will give you so much more.

Elba Mitrani

Hard to find lost and found, the place is huge, but everyone was very helpful and pets are very well taken care of.

Barbara Pol

I have been going to this shelter for the past 6 days on a roll looking for a small dog the place is always kept very well and clean Dog cages always look clean and comfy they even have sleepy music for the dogs in the rooms. I just called for information on a dog and spoke to a representative named Jose he went above and beyond to get all the information I needed his customer service was Absolutely excellent. I even thank them for being So helpful and patient his reply was there is no need ma'am you are my customer and you deserve no less than that I hope you come back to us and find your new friend. Thank you Jose

Jorge Bedoya Rusenko

Very good service, the place is clean. Please take community cats to be spayed/ neutered, it is a humanely way of control cats population and it’s free!!

Julian Blanco

special place where we can find the best friend .... the one who asks for nothing in return and gives us a lot!!! I'm glad to see these animals that find a home ... I recommend

Colombian Culinarian

I’ll say that I’m definitely biased right off the bat because I found my dogson here a year ago, but putting that aside, this is a great facility. Your calls get answered within minutes (or less), very informative about the pets they take in and how they’ll interact with you and other pets/environments (meaning they care about putting these creatures in the right home). You should definitely walk around with animal in back area to get a feel for your potentially new family member. No other adoption center compares to what is provided here.

Spiritsgal

They are always very helpful. Go make a new friend for life like we have done twice now!!!

suleidys ortega

We went here to tried to adopt a cat but there s no many options ,only two or three but litlle ,but anyway the place was clean and the service was excelent .they tried to help you with your answer.

Melissa Marie

They take such good care of the pets there and the process was so easy! We now have our forever dog because of them!

Genesis V

Nearly a year from now. My partner and I adopted 3 cats. 1 that no one wanted because she looked mean but she was a sweet heart as soon as we were able to pet her and we also adopted 2 siblings kittens with disabilities (which sadly if no one adopted them that day they were going to be put down) they have grown up to be such amazing wabblely cats ❤❤

Leonardo Hernandez

Awesome place! Really nice pet for a reasonable price

Andrea Lopez

Very satisfied with the staff. Facilities were clean. The volunteers were amazing. And ofcourse the animals were awesome. I ended up adopting a cat

Claudia Castro

Very good service just vet can be kind of insensitive sometimes

Gayle Martinez

Caring staff. Very very clean. They made the adoption process very easy. Adopt dont shop.

Lillie Estrada

The MDC Animal Services offers a tremendous program to control the feline population. Trap Neuter and Release (TNR) provides free vaccination and spay/neuter for cats brought in. What an AMAZING program MDC offers!! A big THANK YOU!!!

A great place to find a new furry family friend. So many cats and dogs are available and looking for a new home. I love my adopted puppy!

Genaro Rodriguez

I thank God for the staff at the Miami-Dade Animal, they called me after my dog was lost for 5 years. The best!

Hiram Ruiz

The shelter is large, modern, kept clean and has many staff and volunteers. It's sad that there are so many abandoned pets there.

Cesar Ziegler

This shelter is mostly likely a five star hotel for pets. The personal who works for Miami Dade shelter is very friendly. They treat pets like Family.

Gabriel Gareis

It was a great experience. My recent visit was to bring a stay cat to be neutered (note: need to bring them in a box or cage). They treated me and the cat very nicely. I'll comeback soon to see if I can adopt a dog. Thank you guys ‼️🙏🏼

Edy

Great place. My personal experience was awesome when I adopted my big boy. Those people that work there deserve all the merit. They do a great job and a lot of those heroes do it voluntarily .

Indira Hernandez

The staff was amazing. They explained everything in detail. My puppy felt welcome and loved!

Kristol Henry

It was a long line and we had to wait outside but we got through pretty quickly once the wait was over

Very helpful and informative. I was told that I actually had until the end of the month to renew my rabies tags which helped since I had 2 more dogs at home to bring

David Kallay

Friendly service personnel, clean, but unusually busy, parking spaces very limited.

Cynthia G

Clean,fast service the staff was very helpful on answering all my question. The veterinarian was kind and loving to my precious Elder cat

Gus Lovo

We adopted this boy last year. He is now part of the Family. " Nickels Lovo"

Michelle Trinidad

Pretty awesome place... its a one stop shop for my fur babies.

Cary

They are disorganized and need to adapt a better system you have to get a ticket and wait to speak to a rep plus it smells like pee

Sergio Camacho

I forgot to schedule an appointment for my cat’s vaccines 24 hrs in advance. Showed up at 9AM before the clinic was even supposed to be open but I was in and out in 5 minutes. Amazing service, quick, efficient and I’m so happy I made the drive. Very much worth it!

I adopted two 8 year old chihuahuas last July from MDAS and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Shelters are depressing no matter what because there’s so many animals that are sad and looking for a home. The staff here was very helpful for us in helping us choose which dog(s) to get. I originally was set on one large dog but my boyfriend and i fell in love with two older chihuahuas. They had been surrendered to the shelter together and had spent the past 6 years of their lives together. The shelter worker told me that they were trying to adopt them together but would adopt them separately if need be. This broke my heart. Not only are they senior dogs (who already have a tough time getting adopted) but one of them was Heartworm positive. The shelter workers let us get to know the dogs for a while and offered a lot of advice and information on chihuahuas and dogs suffering from Heartworm. The shelter even offers FREE Heartworm treatment for dogs if they test positive for it. We decided to have our own vet treat him but it’s very generous of them to offer that service. Overall, the new facility is clean and i constantly saw volunteers working to clean the cages and any accidents on the floor. They’re very gentle in handling the dogs and didn’t rush us or push us to make a quick decision which is important when adopting a new family member. I only wish i could have adopted more of them into my family as it was truly sad to see how many are in need of a good Home. We will adopt from here again if we ever decide to add another family member!

Nachelle Mable

Lots of pets to choose from..the building is clean, modern, and the animals are well cared for. Try to go early and check out the website for available animals. Kittens and puppies go fast.

Matthew Barrett

This place is great. They have many animals and the place is clean. They spay and neuter the pets. The price is affordable. Sometimes they have huge pet adoption events where they waive the fees altogether. This is where I got my little dog.

KRITTER pt2

Love this place friendly staff my little girl was comfortable she's up to date with everything spaded chipped Good2Go very clean place

love7

I lost my dog 5 years ago. He is a mix miniature pinsher / chihuahua. He had a young spirit, very playful but also timid. I know someone must have taken him. He ran away with my rat terrier on a rainy day on Lejuene road between East 33rd and 29th st. Someone grabbed my rat terrier and saw us looking for them and returned her, but haven't heard from my miniature pinsher since. He has a microchip. If anyone seen him please turn him in or contact me. He is still very missed & loved.

Capt Rick

GREAT!!! We were able to bring some feral cats in to be spayed and neutered. The trap and release crew were the best. They made the entire process so smooth and uncomplicated for us. I was very impressed how efficient the department is. Hats off to you!! Good job.

Theresa Cable

A very nice shelter, but sooo many dogs and cats that need adopting. Very clean and well run. The animals look well cared for.

Rachel Yu

World class animal service. The shelter was impeccably kept. Animals even seem happy, staff was helpful and thorough.

Jorge “J.J1129” Ayala

The facility and staff are excellent. We adopted a beautiful 11 month pointer mix. Definitely go and adopt a pet from this facility.

Beca Shaffer

I am thrilled with their new facility, the people helping inside were amazing, and the doggos seemed to be spoiled by the volunteers. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to adopt.

Carol Maldonado

They were a little disorganized when it came to who was next person to be served. Wait time was too long.

Belkis Gonzalez-Rivera

This place is a great place to adopt. They are on point with the information on adopting and services they offer. No complaints here

Alvaro Arellano

A little understaffed and not completely organized but it's because they lack staff...nice service though

Leonardo Aruca

MIAMI VETERINARIAN SPECIALIST HOSPITAL is Fully staffed with different specialist if I ever needed of their services again that's where I'll be going to take my Dog 8601 SUNSET DRIVE KENDALL

Yandro Nunez

What a sad moment when the time to say goodbye to your loved Pet. My dog was 13 years old and after a couple of testing with the vet me and my wife decided that it was time to put him to sleep. Luckily we where able to say goodbye to him in a confortable room. CINDERELLA the girl that worked here guide us to the process with companion. We paid the fee of 25 Dollard and they took care of the rest. Oliver is now resting after a long weekend of pain and we where able to go home to recover. I will never forger my dog Oliver and will never forget how amazing and compassionate this facility was with us. Amazing place.

Elmer Cespedes

Andrea helped me with some great information how to neuter and vaccinate my pets. I’m a first time pet owner and she helped me out with training and advices how to go through the first stages. She was incredibly patient and kind. Highly recommend asking for her

Ericka Kofkin

Very compassionate and helpful staff. Beautiful shelter. I could not be happier with my new kittens. Thank you!

Melis Vivas

Was the best! My dog is wonderful, I love it.

Alexandra Daglio

I only gave this place 4 stars because the trailer could really use a facelift. But if it were not for that, I'd give them 5 stars! This location is essentially just an old trailer on the edge of a local park. When I brought my cat to be neutered, I took a look around inside and I got nervous when I saw the condition of the trailer interior. I took a closer look and I realized that the parts of the trailer that were old and bad-looking were the parts that had nothing to do with where the animals were being held. The cages that the animals were kept in were actually kept very clean and tidy. The staff looked like they had run this place for so long, they could get things done with their eyes closed. And get it done well. The process is... Show up early in the morning with your pet, park nearby the trailer and someone will walk up to your car to give you paperwork. You fill it out and wait for your turn in line (each car is given a number in the order of arrival). When it's your turn, you get out of your car with your pet and stand outside the trailer. When they are ready to recieve you inside, you are seated with your pet while they write up some stickers and tags with yours and your pets info according to the paperwork you filled out. Then they attach the tags to your pet and take them away while you wait for your turn to pay. They tell you what time you will need to come back to pick up your pet later in the day and you leave the premises. You come back later, Park your car, walk into the trailer, they return your pet to you, and that's it! Very simple process! When I was picking up my cat, I asked a lot of questions about aftercare. They took their time with me and answered all my questions. My cat came home and in the same day he was already back to his normal self. It seems that they did a really good job!

Holiday Tasch

A beautiful fairly new shelter in Doral Miami Florida. They have a lot of dogs mostly pit bulls again, but I don't think the staff wants many dogs to get adopted. The dog I went to see was not there long but someone else was supposed to be picking it up but they had a certain time to be there. If they don't pick the dog up by 6 p.m. the dog would be mine if I come and get it except they wouldn't take my name phone number or any of my information. They said it's first come first served. That's not a good idea since it took over a half hour to get there to begin with from where I live in Plantation Florida. If they would just take my phone number they could have called me and I would have been down there in a Flash and that dog would be in my home now. Anyway the place is beautiful, it's fairly new, dogs all have glass enclosures some of them look like they're in living room settings nicer than my own home! If you're in Miami near Doral go see the shelter. If you are not nearby the shelter, I do not advise you to go there unless you're looking for a pit bull. They did have one Great Dane, a few cats and a bull mastiff dog. As I said you're better off going to a shelter near your own location because they will not hold a dog for you. The whole idea behind the upgrade in shelters is not to be killing animals like they used to. If you live in the Doral area of Miami by all means go in and check out the shelter and come home with a new friend.

Kathleen Russell

It was wonderful. Cuddles so very happy, as I am.

Devorah Corvo

I adopted my cat from here and later found out she was not spayed, even though all her paperwork said she was spayed. Edit: I sent an email to the shelter and they agreed to spay my cat.

Karen S

This is where I have adopted all my dogs over the years and they NEVER disappoint. My mini poo rescued ME! And I'm forever grateful.

Gaby Chacon

Did my furry baby's vaccine. Very helpful facility

Veronica Fleres

This place is super clean, organize and have the best pets.

carol merceron

My first time there! Went to the front door first. I was told to go to the back for sterilization. Didn't know if it was up a flight! I had a metal grill cage which is heavy + 2 🐈 + rain, needed help to carry it! Thought since upstairs, a worker would help me but to no avail. Had paperwork to fill out also. It was pouring 🌧️ , back of my SUV open w/cats. A customer saw me dragging the cage upstairs, offered his help, thanks 👍. Besides that problem, all went well once inside. Place is nice & clean, workers great 👌👍

Maria Celeste

Very clean and lovely environment cute dogs and cats as well

Daisy Sanchez

Excellent place with a fantastic super caring staff. It's a great place to take your pets and to adopt. You guys are 😇! …

Vasilis Karantalis

They're doing an excellent work for the county's animals. They are worth a visit and who knows an animal can find its human!

Emilio Riveron

Best place excellent customer service, very professional and friendly staff members.

Lynsi Battaglia

So many animals here. It's well maintained and the staff are so sweet.

Juli GB

Since the relocation to this place, it is super organized, it's also the most affordable way to get your pets vaccinated. The staff is always helpful, and they explain things thoroughly. With all the Covid measures, they make it super easy and safe. And of course they've always been super sweet to my pets.

Yasmine Gassmann

I rarely write google reviews, but I was so happy with the shelter that I just had to! The first time I went was just to look around the facility and see if there were possibly any kittens for adoption. There were none, but I came back a week later and found my perfect kitten. The adoption process was smooth and I took him home the same day! The woman at the front desk was amazing, sweet and very informative. I brought home the most perfect male kitten, George, and he is adorable.

Maritza Galvez

Waiting time at service is excellent very nice and clean very professional people

Mario Mont

This is a state of the art facility dedicated to help our beloved 4 legged friends. Their staff is very professional and eager to help. If I had a bigger place I'd adopt more dogs in a heartbeat!

Betty fillenwarth

They're very nice. But it's never hardly a cat where they supposed to be, I don't know where they take them, I'm trying to find my female cat spend 1 month and 1 week since she disappeared. I abduct her 11 years ago from Miami-Dade Animal Shelter at Doral. they suppose to taken them to Petco en Petsmart I've been visited AT THIS places MANY TIMES only few cats are there I go Saturdays and Sundays it's destroying my heart nut know where are the cats.

Mercedes Riesgo

Loved this place!! Adoption was easy and am blessed to have our beautiful new addition to the family

Gabriel Donoso

Great service.. I was very satisfied with the whole staff.. facilities were clean and very nice

Topoyiya Arias05

These people always tell you that they are full to capacity. And if you don't give shelter to the animals, the option they give you is to leave them suffering on the street. What is the service then?

roberto siota

GREAT place! Dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens! If this place doesn't put a HUGE smile on your face AND possibly your new best friend in the back seat, there us just no way to make you happy!

Aglay70 Blanco

It's an excellent place of pets adoption

A H

First time going into the new place. Wonderful place for the dogs and cats that are up for adoption. Very friendly employees that help you. Happy they still require mask to be worn inside their facility. Lots of room for the animals in the kennel to move around and they have an activity area outside to exercise. Great place to find a cat or dog.

Yery Betancourt

Miami-Dade Animal services! Great job! Keep doing what you guys doing!!! There’s a lot of animals out there waiting for you to come and rescue them… Please go to street and help them…. They need you…

D. Masser

Friendly staff. Some volunteers don't speak English or understand English. But over all a nice experience

Carlos Hernandez

I salute to these people being an animal lover like myself. Just today there was a poor injured cat near my job I called them nearly 2 hours before closing time made the report and they came immediately 30 mins after I called. Great job guys continue saving and giving homes to our furry little pals

Mike B

Decent wait time...clean as expected and nice staff with well taken care of animals

Robert Rainey

They picked up our lost dog. Every staff person I meet was helpful and courteous and they even put a microchip in him. The fatalities was the cleanest I've ever seen and the entire building actually smelled nice. Very pleasant experience. Thank you for finding our fur baby.

Elena Tkatcheva

What a wonderful experience! I took my cat there for his annual vaccines and a microchip and we were in and out in about 10 minutes. Their customer service was awesome and the prices are super affordable. I'll be coming back every year for sure!

Michelle Motta

Service is quick and easy although the waiting line is long

Jacqueline Gordon

I decided to get my girls a puppy, since they seemed bored due to COVID-19. The phone staff were super helpful in letting me know which dogs were available. We went to one of their locations and obtained our puppy. They gave us a backsack full of items for the dog. Since adopting her, we also attended their free pop-up, where we obtained her booster shots and received more gifts for her. Everywhere we go and encounter their staff, it is always a great experience. I was so impressed that I took a friend who recently lost her spouse and she was able to adopt a dog for companionship who fits perfectly into their home. Miami-Dade Animal Services has the BEST staff in every location I've visited. Everything is always clean and pristine! They are truly the best!

Master U

Aside from the smell it seems they take good care of the dogs

Ellie Aquino

I went in to have my doggie daughter get her 3 year rabies vaccine and tag. Very fast and polite service. In and out within 15 minutes. Very organized best prices too!

Sunshine

I visited this location today and the service, cleanliness, organization and coordination of procedures is amazing...I barely had to wait in line and for my parents which at times prefer to have a Spanish speaking person, having bilingual service is very important.

Michael Oliver

They do a great job here and it's a great place for anyone looking to expand their home

DAVID GARZONE

Very poor advise ...no interested in providing information.

Noel McMillin

Very nice facilities! They took amazing care of my lost kitty as well, and worked quickly to get him back to us. I'm very appreciative to all their hard work!

C “Si” C

A bit of a long wait after we checked in. I thought making an appointment and arriving at the correct time would avoid that scenario. Unfortunately, it didn't. Aside from that the staff were courteous, if not prompt.

Harold Holland Hoffman

So much better & up to date on everything. This is where I would go to adopt a cat or dog. The County has spent our tax dollars wisely. And thanks for taking care of my girls(cats). Big shout out to everybody there. Love you guys.😻 …

Anthony D'Ascoli

Clean facilities. Kind people. Quick and efficient

Allison Bach

Great experience with the website. Haven't been in person but reviewed adoptable dogs.

Meredith Arguelles

This is such a wonderful new facility to adopt a pet! My family was very happy with the ease and professionalism of the whole staff and of course the new kitten!

Cruz Vazquez

This is Rocky is lovely dog. He is a puppy, is big but is pure love... Don't buy a pet, ADOPT ONE!!!

maritza mendes

Very nice and friendly. They help and answered all of my questions about adopting a dog

Lourdes Bergueiro

Wow!!! What a difference!! I was impressed with this new place!! They take good care of our pets, all around it is very clean and neat. Each Department has separate room, very organized. I would recommend this place to anyone. If you are going for any reason do it on Sundays otherwise you will be there for a while. Thanks guys!! Keep the good job running!! Have a wonderful New Year and be safe!!🐶

Cesar Hernandez

The best place to adopt your next pet. Professional team that care all pets

Meraida Fermin

I love Miami-Dade Animal Services. Due to the PANDEMIC it's been a challenge of going there being that you must have an appointment. They are not accepting walk-ins. I was grateful that they are not charging late fees until further notice and I was able to pay and renew my dog tag and was received via mail a few days ago. Thank you so much for the courtesy of receiving my payment through mail. 😀

Yelenny Ovalles

The staff are on the nicest people I’ve ever met but not one of the vets, there room was 9 and we went in today with our dog to get his vaccines for rabies and other things. The vet tried forcing us to open his mouth and he kept trying to bite us, he kept making fun of the situation and only put the mouth guard when he had to vaccinate him himself, I know everything with Covid but gloves exist for a reason. Replace that one vet please!

e c

This is a huge facility. Walk in area is welcoming. I love the small to large dog areas. Also, window rooms to look at them. I was helped finding my lost dog by two wonderful women. Great staff that seem to really care for the animals. The only issue I have was the animal clinic is extremely crowded. There are not enough veterinarians and it's understaffed.

John Lyon

I went with my girlfriend to adopt. What a beautiful facility! Very nice, very professional, they brought Boci out to a fenced area and we were able to bring our other dog so they could meet through the fence. Everything went very well, and Boci was on his way home with us in about 1/2 an hour.

Nancy Delgado

Greater team worker. Good service and beautiful place. Good treatment to the animals.

Eudaldo Martínez

Find your friend and love right there! Thank you for my Kayros

Haz Irvin

I've been to lots of Animal Shelters in many states. This one is by far the best. I love when you enter it feels like an upscale hotel. The set up is comfortable cozy and inviting. The staff was helpful as we had never been here before. The pets seemed relaxed and well taken care of. There was always someone cleaning. The smell in some areas was a little strong but that comes with the territory 😊I was disappointed because you need to be there before doors open to find your pet .The one I wanted was already adopted. Overall great experience . Keep up the good work

Katherin Rodrigues

Knowledgeable , forgiving, special staff. They take care of the doggies and kitties. It's a special place . I always like visiting and thanks to them we have two wonderful angel kittens with us at home. Make sure to wear your mask and be patient and inform yourself. Don't be afraid to ask any questions. These animals need the best home depending on their needs! I recommend this facility . Check them out !

K

I adopted a gorgeous kitty here yesterday and I was actually pleasantly surprised. I had gone about 3 days in a row to see the cats and talk about different kittens. The facility is very nice, clean, and the staff was extremely helpful in all aspects. They gave me information on the availability of many kitties, gave me medical records with thorough explanations before I adopted, and we're super friendly. They are super knowledgable. I was not expecting to have such a positive experience for some reason, but I would go there again in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone. The ONLY downfall is the wait time at certain times of the day. But that's to be expected! When I went in the morning during work hours I had no wait.

Richard Sanda

People that care, thank you. Don't forget to adopt a rescue pet.

Cristina Gazso

My son and I just drop off a kitten that we found on a tree, brought him to the vet and left him with food and medicine in this wonderful place. Its like stepping into another world, the attention is outstanding, the people is very profesional and friendly. They have doctors and staff who is very e and ready to give the best of themselves. I was fascinated by how kind hearted they were!

Marla Puls

No nonsense. Drop off, pick up, done deal. Glad they are there to curb the feline population! Telling all my friends, posting and contacting veterinarians to get the word out. Thanks

Luis Hernandez

Fast and effective Veterinarian services. In and out with my 4yo dog, took about 15 minutes total. Time will probably vary depending on services needed.

jewell moore

I’m not gonna rate this any stars bc I don’t want to penalize every worker bc they seem very nice and helpful but I’d just like to say how the conversation with the people on the phone went “Hi I would like to schedule my cats vaccination” “The appointments are full today…” “Ok can I schedule it for later in the week or month” “No” “Ok bye” Enough said…. Thanks for the help😕

Janet Forte

Please adopt, don't shop! And make sure to spay & neuter your pets!

DeNitra Bradley

My experience at the animal shelter was good. I got to see alot of dogs. You can do a meet and great in case you want to adopt a pet.

Jose Escobar

I really enjoyed my experience here, well attended, and can tell the animals are well taken care of. The place is well maintained, and they dont give false information. You dont know how common this is for people to do for some reason. Very professional and a overall good environment. 5 stars from me!

Fernando Vazquez

So clean and nice !!! Wasn't expecting to me in such great condition!! People were friendly and informative.

Veronica Lopez

I love the place and the people who help you even though there is one person in specific I would say his name but I rather not 🚫 whom was unprofessional and redirected me to tell me what I want as if he was my long time friend that's not acceptable he needs training again to know how to speak to the people and let them get whatever dog or cat he or she wants my goodness how annoying but other than him everyone is awesome and my 🐕 😺 pets. I would definitely recommend anyone to go and get there loving pet because this place is more than great.

joel cuellar tamargo

Going Miami Dade Animal Service was the most greatfull experience Ive ever had. Mi ES dog was lost two days ago and thankfuly I found her with them. The staff was amazing amd super helpful. Thank you so much guys for giving back my littler babe

Christine Daumke

Place is clean. But staff has very little knowledge of the animals, including basic info. They appear as though they don't care or aren't interested. Also, the majority of dogs are bull terriers, aka pit bulls/mixes. And most kennels were completely empty.

Addiel Perez

Over the years I have come here to get my dogs tag renewed and shots taken. It's always been quick to get in and out. I can't say much about any of the other services as I have never had to do anything beyond the aforementioned services.

Edith Puyans

Really busy. Glad there is a staff person working the line. She helped us with the process. Because the kitten is wild, it is not adoptable. They will neuter the kitten and we have to release it back into the wild. They took the kitten without an appointment. Thank goodness!

Dukes 0117

Very clean and modern location. Friendly staff but they need to communicate a little better. We waiting for 40 min to see small puppies that were up for adoption and no one told us that they were all adopted already. We basically waited for nothing.

Lior Lev

Great customer service I appreciate all you do 🏆 …

Monteagudo Family

Very professional and beautiful building. They help my family in a very painful moment. Thank so much for your help

Michael Chryssomallis

The place looks great, I adopted a beautiful calico named Nala. Staff was friendly, kind and informative.

francisco bencosme

Got my beautiful Bryan from here. Bryan is an 8 month old American bulldog mixed. I only had to pay $30 for him to get neutered. The people were nice to me. I spoke to like 3 or 4 different staff members and they were lovely. Most of the people here are volunteers so they're not here for the money (because there is none). I heard a guy screaming at one of the staff members when I was there and there was some back and forth arguing but that guy was acting like a jerk from the moment he stepped into the place. If you don't have patience you should probably not come to this place, not because they're slow but because you should not be getting a pet if you don't have patience. Most people when they get to a place and see a line they get in line. In this place there are no lines. When you come in tell a staff member what you're there for and they'll guide you to where you need to go. You do have to get a ticket in order to be helped by a staff member and if they can't help on the first try you have to get another ticket the second time and the third time and the fourth.... So bottom line: be patient and courteous and you'll have a wonderful experience.

Alfredo A. Rios C.

One of the best shelters I have ever been. The animals are really well taken care off.

Jenny Martinez

Just adopted a very good girl. She is awesome and I received great customer service. Very caring staff. :)

Aldo Chirinos

Wow! At loss for words at how beautiful and clean this animal facility was. I took my dog last Sunday and the atmosphere was very relaxing, inviting and friendly. The employees and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I felt comfortable to leave my dog with them and felt at peace knowing my dog was in great hands.

Alvin Castilloveitia

Not so clean. Personnel is really nasty. No good information available to visitors.

M Guy

people who work here are very nice and kind. the place is very clean and there is nice music in the background for the dogs which is nice n relaxing. very thoughtful and they do a great job taking care of the animals. the database petharbor is useful but it is never up-to-date, so it causes them headaches because the pet has already been adopted so it gets upsetting but it is the database which could be improved to be more up to date with info. the rescue groups also keep taking adoptable pets which they in turn charge higher rates for adoption;It is understood that rescues are very helpful but there should be a window of time for the pet to be adopted by the public and the rescues can adopt after that window closes since it seems right now the rescues get first holds and the public competes with the rescue or pays higher fees to the rescues. The rescues may be doing a great job taking medical care pets from the shelter but many times they take pets that are just healthy and pedigree so the rescue can get higher fees than the shelter which is questionable practice. so, bring lots of patience to the shelter and see what you can adopt.

Lorena Ramos

The new facility and their online services is definitely an improvement. The staff seem very invested in caring for their animals while they're there and are energized when adoptions occur. The only recurring problem.remains is with getting through the director and their administrative staff via their emails that go unanswered over and over again. I checked peeviously if those were good email addresses, and i was assured they were. Maybe they don't think they are accountable to the public? I'm not sure. However, for all the times I have been there, I have received good customer service.

Sergio MIA305

Hey despite that they do not offer veterinarian services for the public, the vaccinations are affordable and convenient for anyone. Use your veterinarian for "health care" to your pet and use MD animal services for vaccinations, chip, and registration...

Vanity Saint

Had a sweet dog appear in my front lawn but I already have a dog and I couldn't take care of her so I brought her here and the staff was very kind and assured me she will be taken care of. I hope someone adopts her and gives her a nice place,may this review helps with that. Check it out very friendly place.

sandytoesrfun101

They practice Covid 19 prevention procedures. The place was clean. Well organized. The staff was helpful. I adopted an adult cat and she is the best. I am very happy with my cat.

Sandrine Roumegoux

Went to bring/ surrender my dead cat with my son and we were a mess. A lady pulled us out the line and sent us straight side. The gentleman at the counter was very sensible and showed empathy. The whole staff did. Made the process a bit easier. Thanks so much for caring!

AwaxMiami

Need more puppies. Only saw older stray dogs.

Juan Porras

The best great atmosphere and the most important the attention thanks.. Khloe...

VIERA

I hope one day we will be able to do everything online

Yusuany Casido Gonzalez

A nice place with large enough spaces for the pets. Be prepared to wait a very long time. We brought in our dog to get her tag and vaccines and we waited over 3 hours before we were even called in. They also have a water fountain meant for your pets to drink from which is a nice commodity, just don't forget to bring something to drink or eat for yourself, if not, they always have a small cafe inside.

Jeard C Escobar

New building for a good institution. Long wait time for service there is a lack of information desk

Rhonda Neris

Got our forever puppy love her to death

Diana

So caring and sweet. Took a few stray cats to get neutered and they were so respectful and responsible.

Ana Arraut Colon

Joseph helped us find and adopt our cat, out of everyone we encountered that day he was practically the only professional and courteous staff member there. It's likely if he hadn't been there we wouldn't have found our cat. He was friendly and had a lot of patience in explaining the personalities of the cats. He is someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty. I'd give him 5 stars plus for his positive attitude and professionalism. I rate 3 stars for the experience vis a vis the rest of the process, because we definitely got attitude from other staff that were practically discouraging adoption. They made us spend a lot of time either waiting or following twice the same procedure. The cat had the wrong chip, apparently assigned the wrong room, and overall if it weren't for Joseph we'd have probably not adopted or gone back.

Jehova Power

Very big, clean and modern facilities. You can adopt cats & dogs. Also take your pets to get vaccinated and get the tag for your dog. Prices are very accessible and convenient. They have different packages available for cat & dog. There's also a Volunteer Program available. Overall, a great place!

carine stanovici

Excellent for adoption , awful for Surrender or Trap neuter vaccine release service!!!! 😕 One month on the waiting list :((( It contributes to raise drastically the amount of poor cats in the street! Unbelievable in a supposal "Wealthy Miami". I am trapper, i give my free contribution to MDAS by dropping off cats for them to be spay and neuter. I do it on my spare time, on side of my work , with my own money, and i must say that people working as receptionist in this service are really not cooperative. it is a shame to be bullied or/and badly received, when you pick up cats in the surrender / TNVR service, not to be help by people working there. Exemple: nobody for opening the door for you as you are carrying big heavy traps / being badly receive because you arrive at 6:05pm, 5 mn late the pick up time, even if the service is closed at 6: 30 pm...and so on ! My favorite girl has a name " Veronica". She is really at the top for being unpleasant, and don't count on her to make you a copy of the after surgery documents. I really ask myself if she really like animals ??? MDAS should really take care of people hired. Hopefully, sometimes you meet angel volunteers.

What on heaven. This place is gorgeous Great service. My dog got its 3 year tag, 3 year rabies shot. Great service. Very organized.

Lol hey

Very great place, it was a short wait time, they are great with the animals and solving up problems. Our dog was ill, they found the issue, treated it and gave us long teem advice in under 35 minutes. She is doing better, thank you guys so much.

Maria Hernandez

Adopted an amazing loving cat from this shelter. She’s an absolute angel. She came with all her shots up to date. The shelter is well built, clean and modern. The staff are nice, and the animals are well taken care of.

K. Sesa

We got our beautiful baby there! Love him 💕 Go find your best friend …

Zarinrhaman

It was a really nice place I went there to walk Some of the dogs. staff were really sweet!

Trevor Nottage

Receptionist were great. I was looking for a older dog AYAFA to adopt. He was taken already. But they had clean spaces for the animals and staff answered questions well.

Rachel Diao

They're efficient. At this time, social distancing is really imposed. You can avoid the rush if you arrive early enough. I love how the staff are just very kind to all the pets/animals ❤

Omayra Frixione-Coto

Air conditioning and very roomy! These dogs and cats are kept in more comfortable settings than other shelters. Please go adopt one. They're still kept behind bars, but there's no way around that situation. As a community we must do a better job of spaying or neutering our pets and only getting rescued pets.

Renegades Master

Great place to adopt a new friend. Best time to adopt is the day after it rain because the place gets flooded.

Raquel Ita

I am absolutely over joyed that I took my baby girl terrier over there to get spayed and I had so many worries for nothing because they are the best of the best! I thought about going to a private vet which would be hundreds of dollars more but then thought best to go to Miami Dade Animal Services because they perform so many of these surgeries a day that they must be the most experienced and I was right! Thank You!

Sky Rohlfing

We drove to MDAS late in the day from fort Myers and were waiting in line to meet dogs basically when the shelter was closing...we got the opportunity to pick 1 dog, which when we did, the staff worker (she was super sweet & young & covered in tattoos) was in the middle of feeding & closing up, yet she was more than happy to bring the dog out for us to meet and didn't rush us or anything...we ended up coming back 2 days later to pick up the dog and again the same girl was back there and we spoke more with her & by the time our number was called it was basically closing time again, so the girl ended up surprising us by bringing the dog out to the lobby to sit with us as we filled out the adoption info...she even helped us load the dog into the car! The service was amazing and honestly she had a huge part in getting the dog adopted :) I highly recommend anyone who's looking for a new family member to check out MDAS since they're so overcrowded!

Sue-Royal Travel

Love this place. They really take care of the animals, I have seen volunteers working and treating the dogs so gentle.

Santiago Reina

I have gotten 3 kittens from them. They are an awesome place, very new, and have a lot of animals to choose from. They also really care for them. I was able to foster for community service hours and was given classes and a lot of support to do it. They save so many lives and are not a kill shelter!

Yexely Perera

Used to volunteer here and I just loved it, spending time with all the kittens and adult cats. The place is as clean as it can be considering it’s an animal shelter. When I went to adopt some senior kittens one of the employees was great showed us all the cats we where interested in and even showed us some she thought would benefit more from being adopted out than some of the ones we where looking at who had higher changes of being adopted quicker.

Marie Cruz

1st time there, but I live in Cutler Bay, would like to know when trailer behind Gov Center will be available for residents to the South. 69 year old woman, Doral too far, too hectic to drive. But place was nice & quick with appt. Thank you.

Venisa Mae

My honest rating for this place is between 3 and 4 stars. I come here whenever the vaccines and tags are due but there is a huge miscommunication with the services. I've see people walk in and wait for such a long time to find out they needed to be elsewhere because there isn't any proper communication. I feel there should be more signs as to what a certain station offers or a staff member coordinating people around. I didn't have an issue but I've seen others become impatient. The service is extremely slow but I believe it is because of the abundance of people needing services. I would recommend the location to hire more staff including vets to speed up the vaccination and tag process. The shelter itself appears clean. If a dog accidentally pees, there is always a staff nearby ready to clean.

Scott Fox

Great place, lots of cool animals to take home.

MrWG

New place is really nice. I went for license and vaccinations. You get a number through the computer, ticket is printed out and wait your turn. You can sit inside or outside they have tv's showing order of numbers and also call through speakers. They have water fountain for you and your pet. 5 stars for me because it's a very simple process and less expensive than the vet. I waited like an hour, I was there at 1030am on a Friday, to give you an idea.

Minion Fan

Unfortunately we had to put our beloved Duncan (4 yr old black Lab) to sleep. He was having kidney failure, and after lots of treatments, as he did not get any better, we decided to euthanize him. Our experience at this place couldn’t have been better. From the person at the front desk, to the guy at the surrender office, we were treated as family. I highly recommend their services. Great staff and very sympathetic! Thanks!

Catherine Garcia

I am grateful and in relief for the spay/neutering service done for my cats (both male and female). They are doing awesome. The staff is very kind and professional here as well. The process was organized/easy.

Emily Rhinier

Wow, this new building is so much bigger and nicer then the old one. All of the staff and volunteers were taking the dogs outside to potty and for walks, and cleaning up any dirty kennels promptly. I also liked the attention they were giving to the pets who were waiting for their new forever homes. Everyone was very friendly and it was easy to get help when needed. Please adopt your next pet 😊🐱🐶

Edilson Almeida

Take care of your pet, prices really affordable. Pet adoption? There are hundreds of beautiful creatures just waiting to find a new home.

Dedrick Rios

This is awesome the best service and staff I have seen in any animal service around the country top notch Miami Dade really good job

Mariela Marrero

If you ever visited the former location, this is a 180 degree improvement. The facility is upbeat with lots of volunteers. I went during the weekend and chances are you probably will not be able to adopt easily b/c adoptions happen quickly-especially for smaller dogs. There are plenty of healthy, larger dogs. Best bet-go during the week.

Sharon Bourke

I was able to rent 2 traps very easily. The staff were very helpful & gave excellent advice on how to trap the cats. While there a woman brought in her dead animal & was crying with heartache. The staff were so kind to her. After we catch the cats,we'll get them neutered & their rabies vaccine.

Jorge Salomon

Went to pick up my little ball of fur. Left the side door opened and, he Ryan out. Thanks to a great samer, she took him to the county shelter and we went to pick him up.

MountainLionLeo

Great staff, they're super nice and will explain any question you have. They are clean and usually fast service, even though it is a first come first serve type system. The wait is usually longer than the service if you get there at a busy time. I have no complaints however

Dominque Brown

I take my fur babies here every year for their annuals. I have a Collie mix 11 yrs old and a Pitbull 4 yrs old. They are very professional. They make things seamless AND when its close to that time of the year for annuals they send me a post card. They are very recommended.

chad rubinson

Wow, this is not your mother’s animal shelter. You know what I mean. The dimly lit, overcrowded public animal shelters where the staff ignore the animals and attempting to adopt an animal is harder than getting a perfect score on the SAT’S. This is the exact opposite. The shelter looks more like a high end mall than a shelter. But instead of showcasing the newest fashions, it showcases beautiful dogs and cats available for adoption. The rooms that are lined with kennels for potential adoptees are well lit and clean. The staff are fantastic. They are really enthusiastic and committed to finding good matches for pets and potential owners. But they won’t simply let anyone adopt. You have to have proof of residency, and proof you are allowed to have a pet where you live. But most importantly they are very honest about each dogs temperament and characteristics. They want to make sure the adoption will be successful. I speak from experience as I adopted a dog from this shelter. A perfect match from a wonderful shelter. The staff is what makes this place so special.

James Rothguard

I was very satisfied with my experience with this shelter. I was looking at buying a pet online but before I spent money I thought I would try this shelter. The place is clean and well organized. The staff were professional and courteous. I am very glad I went in. I am even more happy with the pet I rescued, he and I are a perfect fit.

Nelson Herrera

Nice to know that there is a place to find help when it comes to animals in disgrace. However, coming to the place and getting all kinds of obstacles to get a simple act of help, is very disappointing. Some staff members just follow the book of rules, wich it ok, but there should be some "listening from visitors and of course, some thinking and judgement" before turning away anybody in seek of their services just because you are not a Miami-Dade county resident at the moment according to your ID. It's like discriminating on people, therefore on animals in need due to the origin of whoever speaks on their behalf. Not much of human touch in that way of dealing and acting. Animals don't deserve to go through all that red tape created about people.

Frank Rod

The place is very clean but they have to update their website the dogs that I wanted to see were not available

Miami Native

I actually had the wrong idea about MDAS..I was under the impression it was a dark and terrible place where they killed animals...like county shelters I visited in my youth. However, I found out that in 2015 they made it a no-kill shelter. The girl that was helping me told me that they have some dogs who have been there for "months and months." There were many, many volunteers who were walking the dogs and giving them love. The facility was very clean and modern and the staff seemed happy and positive. While I wish that all dogs and cats had loving forever homes, at least we have this place for them to stay safe and to receive love until those homes can be found.🙏

Agar Joseph

A bit confusing once I understood the process easy and so many beautiful dogs/cats to choose from we ender up with a Siamese, who was a bit sick. Once the cat was comfortable and off his meds. He became a comic relief and a great ESA for my daughter.

Merilyn Phillips

The free neutering and spaying of stray cats is a fantastic community service! I've had several cats 'fixed' there, with no issues. The new facility is amazing! If you have a lil space and love in your life for a cat or dog, please visit them and be a hero to a needy animal. One love.

Krystal Silverio

Great they were super helpful and took care of me right away! I'm so very great full and Impressed with the service I received in adoption department!

Nickeeta “ƊƝA” P.

A place that is very efficient. They have a section just for surrendering your animal (no appointment needed) whether it be a stray you've found or your own. You can get almost done here. You just have to call.

SVITLANA Khramtsova

It would definitely be 5 stars if i would not have to spend over 2 hours even after making apointment and filling out papers at least 3 times: we were told kittens were available, papers on cage doors would show they are available, but after filling out papers, signing and going to pay they would say it is already on hold and then 2 more times just same way. I was exhausted, kids were very frustrated and husband literally cried. At the end we settled on any kitten that would just be available -which all of them deserve a forever home, so we are happy. But it is definitely some huge obstacles on the way of somebody who wants to adopt. Overall place is newly constructed, clean and large. So many dogs and cats that need Fur-ever home and they should do more of events like Match-a-thon/ match a pet/.

Paloma Morales

This place is amazing. It has a huge facility for everyone to roam around and find the right pet just for them! Trust me when I say this they are the best! So much so, I donated $190 that my friend and I worked our butts off for weeks . I'm telling you... It's worth it.

Michelle Rodriguez

Beautiful building but nothing has changed. You walk in and there's an information. But no one seems to engage with you unless you directly walk up and stand in front of their face. It broke my heart to see the pets of the week displayed behind the glass looking so depressed and lonely. The location is somewhat easy to find but parking is insufficient for the amount of traffic that goes in and out of there. I hadn't been to the shelter since they moved and honestly I don't miss going there it's still depressing as ever.

Yohanna Almenares

Very pleased. We had made an appointment, as soon as I checked in we were seen within 5minutes. In all we spent 35 minutes with my fur baby.

Virgy007

Good place with people that are willing to help!

Carlton Davis

Wonderful and compassionate staff and volunteers. I know for sure that those little angels are safe in here and waiting to be adopted< for they are not put to sleep, unless when one of the creatures loved and taken care of there, is irretrievable ill. I am proud of them. Thanks for being such angels for those God's creatures waiting for a new loving home.

arturo rodriguez

For being county, this place is great and cheap. If you want premium customer service, pay premium prices at a vet. Our clerk was friendly and informative. We did rabies and tag

Belcy Montis

Makes a difference comparing with the old animal shelter. This one is bigger and more organized and always you can ask where to go. But there's not enough parking. I went with a friend to transfer her dog to me, we asked and found where to do the transfer. It went so smooth and fast. We were out in less than five minutes.

Lil (LTP)

Friendly staff willing to help. From my experience, I have not had any issues with them and have seen how they care for their animals. Other's may not have had the same experience, but I am completely happy.

mario vilche

Many beautiful animals, I rescued blossom a 16 year old cat and shes made my life better

Gelcys Vazquez

Excellent better than previous visits. Employee was great and help me out in getting my tag for Chico my Yorkie dog which is super special in my life. My best friend and companion. The employee also answer all my questions

Amanda Riveron

This place is not for the weak hearted. I walked in looking for a vet for a kitten I rescued and saw rows and rows of sad animals that need to be rescued and loved in a forever home asap! I wanted so badly to take all of them home and give them the love they deserve;( The place was well kept and the employees were very sweet and caring. When my son gets a little older, I am coming here to adopt a fur baby!!

Louis Beach

This place is much better than when it was on 74th but it is not very self-explanatory where you go if you lost a pet. When you go to the info best they tell you to go see a bunch of letters and just point, they know where everything is but when you are new to the place it's not obvious. But since they work there they a dime wrongly that we the public know what the heck they are talking about. I am very distraught about losing my dog and no I do not know where all those letters are at. So for thinking we should know what they know and not being helpful I give them only four stars and that because it better than the previous location but rude.

Earl S

Building looks newish people that work there are polite and helpful. This place gets busy so go early to get the animal you want. I went to the desk and after waiting in line found out the dog I wanted was already adopted, which is a thing for the animals. The parking lot floods when it rains and it rains a lot in Miami. Go adopt and make an animal happy.

Sara Conde

I adopted my best friend from this shelter! Yes the dog needed training, and yes I needed to give him some medical care, but I expected this. He was a stray, out on the streets for quite a while. He would have died on the streets without Animal Services. The facility is overwhelmed and on a very limited budget. The staff were wonderful considering the strain they are under. God bless all who volunteer and work there to give all the pets that have been abandoned a second chance. My dog has made every day brighter. Thanks Animal Services!

Carlos Chirino - Real Estate Consultant

I was here last week to renew my dog's tag. I was truly surprised by the size and maintenance of the facilities. I really urge anyone considering a pet to go here. They have so many, that you will for sure find yours here!

John Deegan

They responded immediately and quickly collected the reckless kittens. One appeared to be sick. One was plucked from the engine of the car where they were hanging out. The animal service guy was professional and treated the kittens humanely. Great service. Good job

carlos fernandez

very helpful staff and clean kennel's lots of dogs and cats to afopt

l markovich

I wanted to recognize my first and positive experience with the shelter. A special thank you to Ms. L. Hill who was very professional and helped reunite our dog with its family and walk me through the process.

Gabkata

They do a great job there! They have also animal services that offer vaccines at lower cost! It's great! The only bad thing is you have to be prepare to wait in line for a long time if you go on the weekend.

michelle lara

Will be awesome if they handle the healh certificate to Fly international and the same time they will make money..i paid $120.00...all the time whem i fly with my dog out of the country..!!

ana ayala
