🚨 EMERGENCY DEADLINE OCTOBER 10 🚨

ADAM ID #2814718

🆘 PLEASE SAVE ADAM! HIS DEADLINE IS TOMORROW, OCTOBER 10! 🆘

💔 Adam was abandoned at the shelter 36 days ago, and his life is at risk. We urgently need an English Bulldog rescue or a loving, responsible adopter!

From the available information and photos, it appears Adam may have been kept in a backyard, with his beds outside and little contact with his owners inside the home. It is heartbreaking to think that dogs can live without the love and companionship they deserve.

Now Adam is confined in a shelter kennel, frightened, stressed, and struggling. Dogs who come from a home or backyard can become overwhelmed when suddenly confined. They may scratch, snap, or react out of fear and desperation. Please do not judge Adam only by his behavior in this stressful environment. He needs patience, love, and time to feel safe again.

🚨 PLEASE SHARE HIM WITH EVERY ENGLISH BULLDOG RESCUE! ADOPT HIM IF YOU CAN! He deserves a second chance.

Miami-Dade Animal Services reportedly has more than 700 dogs, including approximately 70 who have been there since 2025. This is heartbreaking and requires urgent attention and community involvement.

The shelter’s Instagram has more than 100,000 followers! Please use this platform to promote dogs with deadlines, sick dogs, stressed dogs, and those urgently needing rescue or adoption. Posting videos and photos every day could connect these animals with people who can save their lives.

PLEASE USE THAT REACH TO SAVE LIVES! These dogs need visibility, rescues, and loving homes.

📞 NEED HELP OR GUIDANCE? Call or text me at 305-305-7678. I can help guide you and provide additional rescue contact information.

📍 Miami-Dade Animal Services
3599 NW 79th Avenue, Doral, FL 33122

Please contact the shelter directly to confirm Adam’s current status and rescue arrangements.

🙏 PLEASE DO NOT LET ADAM LOSE HIS LIFE. HIS DEADLINE IS TOMORROW, OCTOBER 10! HE DESERVES LOVE, A SAFE HOME, AND A FUTURE!

RESCUES, PLEASE HELP! RESPONSIBLE ADOPTERS, PLEASE STEP FORWARD! SHARE ADAM’S POST AND HELP SAVE HIS LIFE! taken in Miami-Dade Animal Services by @markirae

Big milestone yesterday for Jared! ☕️🐾✨
We ventured out for his very first crowded outing to #PasionDelCielo cafe in Midtown Miami to meet up with shelter volunteer (and Jared’s number 1 fan) @markirae . At first, the hustle and bustle was a lot for him—lots of passing cars, lively families, and other dogs had him feeling a bit nervous.
With a lot of patience, high-value treats, and a pup cup, Jared realized he was completely safe. Before long, he managed to settle right down, take in the sights, and just relax by our side. 🐶🍦
Watching him build confidence in real time and regulate his nerves in a busy environment made my heart burst. I am so incredibly proud of how brave he was! Every small step is a giant leap for this sweet boy. 🥹💖
Quick Jared Recap:
💟 3 years old | 60 lbs
💟 House trained & crate trained
💟 Unfazed by storms & loves car rides!
💟 Cat-workable under structured guidance
💟 Needs a poultry-free / salmon diet for allergies
💟 Available for adoption through Miami-Dade Animal Services (Currently in foster!)💟 Learning to Trust: Takes time with new people, but thrives with food bribes and gentle patience.
💟 People & Kids: Friendly with adults and kids of all genders! He thrives in a home that respects his personal space.
💟 Consent-Based Petting: Prefers to make the first move—let him come to you when he’s ready. He adores back and neck scratches, but kindly asks to skip pats on top of his head.
📩 DM me if you’re interested in meeting / adopting Jared or learning more about him!

Two years. At just three years old, Jared has spent two-thirds of his life staring at cold shelter walls, watching potential families walk right past his kennel. When you’ve been forgotten for that long, the world can feel scary. 💔
💟 A Quiet Soul: He hardly barks at all. His foster thought he was mute for the first two weeks.
💟 Learning to Trust: He takes a little time to warm up to new people. After two years of shelter life, he just needs someone willing to show him that gentle hands don’t leave.
💟 Simple Joys: After years on hard concrete, grass is his ultimate happy place. Watching him flop into “roach” position and soak in the sun will break your heart in the best way.
💟 Certified “Loverboy”: Named by shelter volunteers because, despite everything he’s been through, he just wants to crawl into your lap and hold onto you.
💟 Grateful House Guest: He is fully crate trained and potty trained, working so hard to be the perfect boy for the person who finally chooses him.
💟 Unbothered & Brave: Thunderstorms don’t scare him at all—he’s already weathered the hardest storm of his life: living 2/3 of his life in a shelter.
💟 The Ultimate Copilot: He absolutely treasures car rides, just happy to finally be going somewhere instead of being left behind.
💟 Eager to Please: Super food motivated and working hard on his leash manners every day.
💟 Special Care: Needs a simple poultry-free, fish/salmon diet to keep his skin allergies healed and comfortable.
💟 Cat Status 🐱: Workable with calm, dog-savvy cats! Needs structured management and guidance, as running cats still trigger his chase drive.
💟 His Ideal Match: Needs an experienced dog owner who understands that the deepest bonds take a little time and patience to build.
Jared has spent two-thirds of his life waiting behind bars for a family that never came. Please don’t let him spend another night thinking he isn’t enough. Share his post or send a message to finally bring Loverboy home. 📩✨

A little senior pup date with Melo 🐾🤎

His name suits him because he is such a chill/mellow dude! At 7 years young, this sweet & friendly terrier mix deserves all the love, adventures, and happy moments life has to offer. Today we got out of the shelter and headed to a senior pups event—and Melo was so happy to be included. 🥹🐶

He is a true gentleman. You can seriously bring him wherever because this boy is so adaptable. So well behaved in public, super friendly, great around people, dogs, and kids. He’s smart & knows commands, he is affectionate, & easygoing. He’s happiest enjoying the simple things in life—a comfy place to rest, a leisurely stroll, the occasional belly rub, and the company of his people. He has been waiting at the shelter since December 2025.

Melo doesn’t need anything extravagant. He just needs someone to see him for the amazing dog that he is. He’s waited long enough. This boy is truly special so let’s get him his forever home! 🏡🐶

You can foster or adopt Melo ID A2751743. I am a volunteer & can help point you in the right direction.

She’s beauty and she’s Grace.🤍
When is it finally going to be her turn? She’s been waiting for 2 years in MDAS to be chosen. She is 4 years old. Let that sink in. She has spent half of her life in a shelter, in a kennel. There is nothing wrong with her. She is a wonderful dog. She gets along with other dogs, does well around cats and children. She just sadly has been overlooked in a crowded shelter. She is becoming so stressed and sad there. She is ready to spend her best years in a home where she feels loved, and safe. Please help me share her so the right family finds her and never lets her go.

If you can’t foster or adopt, please share, like, comment, repost so my girl gets seen 🙏🏼 We don’t want just anyone for her, we want someone special for her because she is special.

❤️🐾 I have had the beautiful privilege of getting to know both Jared and Grace. They both have their own personalities but they both have one thing in common: They need a loving family and a safe place to call home. They are not a bonded pair but they for sure have a special bond!

❤️Jared ID# A2577217
He is about 3 years old and has been waiting 669 days. He is the most loving, affectionate, and happy dog I have ever met. He instantly won over my heart. He is great with people, kids, dogs, cats. He is the whole package. He is currently on foster but we still need to help him find his forever family.

❤️Grace ID# A2578078
She is about 4 years old and has been waiting 669 days. She is sweet, gentle, and friendly with everyone. Her eyes tell you everything. She just wants to be seen for the amazing girl that she is. She is sad and struggling without her boyfriend Jared now that he left on foster. We need to help find her forever family who will show her patience and kindness.

They both have been without a family for far too long. Please help them by sharing their story and hopefully the right family will find them. They can be adopted together or separate. They just want a forever kind of love! 🙏🏼❤️
