Nebula #A2731276 is only 3 years old, and she has already been at the shelter twice. She is incredibly affectionate and sweet with her handlers. Her return note says she is wonderful with people and kids. She was returned due to a roommate issue, not anything she did wrong.

But shelter life is really getting to her now. She is struggling with being locked up almost all day, and it’s taking a toll. Nebula would do best in a home without cats or small dogs. What she really needs this time is someone who will commit to her forever. She has been through enough abandonment already; she deserves better. 💜

❤️‍🩹#A2709449  MULATA❤️‍🩹

this sweet adorable girl has been living in the same rear kennel for the last 460 DAYS.

she's watched dogs get adopted..
dogs get rescued.. 
Dogs leave on foster.. 
Dogs leave on paw venture.. 
Dogs leaving to events.. 
And her? she's watched herself grow up behind a kennel door 💔

15 months living in doggie prison 😭 mulata deserves better, she deserves a home, a family, and endless love. 

mulata loves going to the playyard to play fetch, she loves running around, doing tricks and getting in the water.. but why does no one love her enough to adopt or long term foster her? she's an amazing girl. 

she walks well on the leash.. although she may pull at times on the start of her walk, after a few she settles nicely and easily.. please don't let her life go to waste.

choose, good girl mulata.

SUNNA PAST DEADLINE. 🚨 the story of a good girl failed MULTIPLE times after loosing her human 😭

Sunna - ID #a2666835 

Let me tell you her story, honestly , her heartbreaking story. She was someone’s pet , someone loved her .. but one day , she lost her human and her home . She was surrendered because her person was hospitalized . 
After this tragic event , her life had been a roller coaster 

➡️Came in on 2/20/25 as surrendered owner hospitalized
➡️Adopted 8/31/25
➡️Surrendered 11/26/25 for “being hyper” kid scared
➡️Adopted 12/20/25
➡️Then found as stray 7/13/26

Sunna is ⭐️super sweet ⭐️affectionate⭐️potty trained and full of life ⭐️

The reason for her deadline is that she was involved in an altercation with another dog while in Medley,she didn’t hurt any human . I don’t know the details as per why the altercation happened but she is a good girl and loves people.

Please help her and give her a RELIABLE family again .

Please send a DM or contact Jerry.Estevez@miamidade.gov

Today marks Romeo’s 2 years anniversary at the shelter #A2288686. That’s nothing to celebrate yet this is Romeo’s reality. 

Romeo is such a happy dog he’s always so ready to have a good time. He doesn’t let being locked away for 2 years kill his spirit. Romeo is potty trained, he’s good with people, and knows commands like sit. He is only 5 years and so beyond ready for a family. Romeo would do best as the only pet. Let’s not let him spend another second in this kennel. Please share Romeo ❤️❤️❤️

🚨💔 MIAMI: ROLLY HAS UNTIL 3PM TODAY! 💔🚨 Rolly #A2738972 has been at the shelter for nearly a year. He’s a sweet, goofy, affectionate boy who deserves a chance with someone willing to understand him and help him succeed. His biggest challenge is his fixation on his beloved red herding ball. There was an incident where he accidentally got someone’s boot/ankle while going after it. This needs to be managed responsibly, but one accident shouldn’t define an entire dog. ❤️ I’ve spent time with Rolly on two Pawventures outside the shelter and saw so much more than that incident.

ROLLY’S PAWVENTURE REPORT CARD 📝 

❤️ ADVENTURE BUDDY: Loves walks, hiking, sniffing, exploring, & playing ball. He needs appropriate outlets for his energy.

❤️ POTENTIAL CUDDLEBUG: After exercise, I can picture him relaxing on the couch with his person. He deserves the chance to find his best friend. 

❤️ GREAT CAR COMPANION: Calm and quiet in the car! It’s become one of his favorite places, he tries to hop in any car he can. 

❤️ NEEDS LEASH PRACTICE: Gets excited on walks and needs leash training. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he will absolutely thrive. 

❤️ THE HERDING BALL: His fixation needs responsible management. Start by skipping the red herding ball! He deserves someone willing to work with him, not write him off. Training can do wonders and he’s very treat motivated! 

🐕❤️ DOGS: His shelter playgroup introduction didn’t go well, but he walked past small dogs without issue on our outings. He needs and deserves a proper re-evaluation. 

❤️ CATS: Untested; compatibility is unknown.

Ollie #A2793027 is estimated to be 2 years old and has been waiting for his forever home for 134 days. He is sweet, playful, and SUCH a cuddler. 

He’s wonderful with other dogs and has so much love to give to one very lucky family. He just needs someone who’ll give him all the love he so desperately deserves.

Ollie is a medium-to-high energy boy, so he’ll thrive in a home with plenty of enrichment, walks, and playtime. In return, you get a loyal, loving companion for life.❤️‍🩹

ROLLY #A2738972 unfortunately has a EUTHANASIA DEADLINE FOR TOMORROW 3pm EST 💔😭🆘 What is wrong with this world? Why do innocent dogs have to die. It shouldn’t have to be this way! Rolly had an accident, nothing was intentional yet his life is at risk. Rolly is a goofy goober who loves to play but he goes coocoo for a red herding ball. He was in the playpen going after the ball & accidentally got someone’s boot/ankle. No skin broke but this caused him to get a blue blast from the shelter on 10/5 urging adopters & rescues to help Rolly. I was able to take Rolly on a Pawventure on 10/11 but sadly on 10/14 the shelter issued him a deadline of 10/16 at 3pm EST(TOMORROW). This is beyond heartbreaking so we need your help in sharing Rolly. 

HAVE YOU MET ROLLY? If you’ve ever spent time with him, please drop a comment below and share your experience! Tell us what makes him special, what you’ve seen in him, and why he deserves a chance. Let’s show the world who Rolly truly is! Please DM @adoptmiamidogproject or @loveisfurever_miami if you have any questions. Rolly means the world to us and we can’t let this be how it ends for him.

ADOPTIONS: Jerry.estevez@miamidade.gov

Rolly’s report card 📝 

❤️ A perfect adventure buddy he loves to walk, hike, sniff and play ball! He’s always down for a good time
❤️ once he gets his steps in, Rolly becomes a total mush and would make a great Netflix couch potato!
❤️ out of the stressful shelter environment,  he is calm &  quiet in the car, it’s one of his favorite places 
❤️ he pulls on the leash at first, but after 20-30 minutes of walking, he walked like a champ & got hang of it. He could def brush up on his leash training 
❤️ affectionate with humans, loves to give kisses 
❤️ mostly potty trained
