Sometimes all a dog needs is a chance to exhale. 💙

After nearly two years in the shelter, Frank finally got the opportunity to decompress in a foster home—and he’s showing just how special he is.

Frank is smart, energetic, eager to learn, and happiest when he has something to do. He’s potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, loves car rides, respects household boundaries, and is especially devoted to his toys—his ball is a favorite.

Like many working-breed dogs, Frank will thrive with a family who understands that he needs more than a backyard. He’s looking for an adopter who can give him plenty of playtime, structured walks, ongoing enrichment, and the mental and physical activity that will keep him engaged and fulfilled.

Frank has so much to offer the right home. He just needs someone ready to give that energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm the outlet they deserve.

Could that be you? 

Consider adopting Frank—or opening your home to foster another shelter pet. Tap the link in our bio to learn more.

Aldean #A2784312 is working so hard for his chance at a forever loving home. His trainer describes him as social, affectionate and handler-oriented - a sweet boy just waiting for someone to see how special he is.

Aldean is confident and comfortable in new environments, gets along well with people and other dogs, and loves working alongside his handler. If you would like to meet Aldean, please reach out to @mrsyobe @adoptmiamipaws ❤️‍🩹

Please read about the 3-3-3 rule for adopted or foster dogs!
They need time to decompress! Some have never experienced a loving home, so it’s like bringing home a puppy! They need patience, kindness, and compassion. Be their angel.

Thanks to @best_pawddies for sharing the urgent reality at our overcrowded shelter.

Dogs continue to come in faster than they are leaving, and available kennel space is running out. Staff and volunteers cannot solve this crisis alone.

Foster. Adopt. Share. 

And contact your Miami-Dade County elected officials. Tell them our shelter is in crisis and ask what they are doing to address overcrowding, reduce intake, expand lifesaving programs and ensure our shelter pets receive the care they deserve.

Our shelter pets need all of us now. ❤️🐾

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL. 🚨HELP NEEDED FOR OUR DOGS 

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. 🚨

This is the reality we are currently experiencing and dealing with at our MDAS. This is the hard reality we are facing when there is no more space, no more available kennels, but intakes don’t stop coming in.

When strays and surrenders outnumber adoptions and fosters, there is simply nowhere else to put them.

This is what happens when intakes keep coming in, but help doesn’t come fast enough.

The truth is… WE NEED HELP!!
OUR SHELTER DOGS NEED HOMES!! 🐾

This affects the quality of care we are able to provide, and it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to provide the level of care we all want for our shelter dogs.

IF THE COMMUNITY DOESN’T STEP IN… THIS IS WHAT WE FACE.
This is what we are forced to resort to.

➡️ THE SOLUTION?

FOSTER OR ADOPT A SHELTER DOG. 🐾
CHANGE A LIFE. 🐾
OPEN UP A KENNEL. 🐾
HELP US PROVIDE THE QUALITY OF CARE THESE DOGS DESERVE. 🐾

Every foster and every adoption makes space for another dog in need.

PLEASE — WE NEED YOU. ❤️🐾

Please contact us via DM and we will guide you for foster or adoptions OR contact -

Disclaimer: I am a volunteer and do not handle adoptions directly, but I am happy to help assist with the process. Please adopt responsibly - pets are part of a family and a long term commitment 🐾

Aldean (#A2784312) completed his board and training program with great notes! See below the professional trainer’s description of Aldean🥹🤎

Aldean is an affectionate, social, energetic, and highly trainable young dog with strong handler engagement and generally good social behavior. He can be cuddly and people-oriented and appears motivated to cooperate with his handlers. His dog-to-dog social behavior has been very good. He generally presents as relaxed around dogs, is able to participate in appropriate social interaction, and can disengage from other dogs.

Please help us find Aldean his forever home🥺🙏

On National #GrandparentsDay, I’m in awe of the deep love and joy our Littles bring to my life—and brought to #besthusbandever 

North, south, east and west, those four little treasures keep me grounded and remind me of the beautiful life and extraordinary love I’ve been so fortunate to share.

And a special thank you to the Bigs—not only for the gift of grandchildren, but for the love, dedication and commitment they pour into raising four pretty wonderful little people.

Being their grandmother is one of the greatest gifts of my life. ❤️ #joyeveningrief by @mrsyobe

Aldean #A2784312 is STILL waiting for his forever home. 🥺❤️‍🩹 This sweet, affectionate boy has come so far, including completing a board-and-training program thanks to @mrsyobe! He’s young, energetic, social, and loves cuddles and playtime. 🐾🥰

He has successfully played with dogs of various sizes and would thrive with a patient, committed family ready to provide structure, continued training, and plenty of love. ❤️

Aldean is still learning to manage his size and energy, but he responds well to correction and redirects easily. Although he can become excited and mouthy or body-slam during play, he is easy to correct and redirect. Overall, Aldean has shown so many amazing qualities, and his primary challenges are simply related to his youth, energy, and strength.

❤️ UPDATE: CHANCE #A2805646 (formerly Drumstick at MDAS) ❤️

After a very, very long month—filled with pain, stress, and so much uncertainty—Chance is finally SAFE, LOVED, and resting in a home. 🥹❤️

We never loved the name Drumstick, so we renamed him Chance, because sometimes a chance is all they need to heal, feel loved, and thrive. 🐾

And that chance came because some incredible people stepped up for him. 🙏

🤍 @macarenasierralta opened her home and became his medical foster, giving him the safe place he desperately needed to recover. And Chance fell in love with her almost instantly! 🥹

🤍 @mrsyobe literally helped save his life by covering his medical expenses when he needed it most.

🤍 And the incredible team at @miamiveterinaryspecialists gave Chance the excellent medical care he needed after everything his body had endured.

To every single person who shared his story, worried about him, sent love, and kept asking us for updates: THANK YOU. You were part of his journey too. 

Now it’s time to give Chance what he needs most: time to rest, heal, decompress, and understand that he is finally safe.

And when he’s ready, we’ll have one more mission: finding this very special boy the forever home he deserves. 🏡❤️

Because sometimes, a CHANCE is all they need. 🙏🐾

UPDATE - 9/8/29 - long term foster secured💙 I will update soon on his progress 💙

Toby has been waiting for this day for months, and it’s finally coming up! 💙

TOBY — ID #A2802347- 1 year old 💙🐾

Toby is a very, VERY sweet and mellow baby who is finally getting the help he needs. He came to MDAS on July 2026 with a broken/fractured femur and has been nothing but a fantastic, gentle, good boy.

He patiently waited until @mrsyobe saw his medical situation and didn’t hesitate to step in and help. 🙏💙

➡️ Toby is scheduled to have orthopedic surgery on Tuesday at @miamiveterinaryspecialists where he will receive he best care, and we are PLEADING for a long-term foster for him so he can recover in a home setting surrounded by love and care after his surgery.

Toby is very mellow, calm, friendly, and affectionate. He also seems to be dog-friendly! He doesn’t react to or seem interested in any of the dogs we’ve encountered at the vet or around the shelter. 🐶💙

If you can please FOSTER this 10/10 easygoing dog in need of help, please contact @asdfoster by sending an email to:

📧 ASDFOSTER@miamidade.gov

Or send us a DM, and we will help you get registered and ready to foster Toby. 🙏💙

Every dog needs a village and we are hoping a good human helps him to heal and have all the care he deserves 💙
