I need YOUR help sharing, commenting, and helping me help Ceviche! He has been at Miami Dade Animal Services since September 2025. Can you even imagine what you were doing in September of last year? This is an insane amount of time for any dog to be behind bars alone, and scared in a cold Shelter. He has surpassed heartworm treatment, respiratory infections, and has still remained a lovable, outgoing, good boy. He is listed as a Belgian Mal mix. He has done playgroups at the shelter however, I always recommend meeting and greets before. As you can see in this video, he is a very sweet boy that likes his human. This was the only time he has ever been out on a date in the last year. Please do not forget to like, share, and help me get this boy out of Miami Dade Animal Services. It’s not fair that this dog is sitting, waiting patiently still.  His ID is A2723481 #OneYear #Shelter #VeryGoodBoy #FloridaCity #Miami

10/17 UPDATE: Cammo is SAFE 🥹 thank you to everyone who shared his story! 💔‼️🚨 URGENT— DEADLINE ISSUED FOR TOMORROW, 10/16 @ 4:00 PM for CAMMO #A2816540 

Cammo is an 8 year old boy who arrived at Miami-Dade Animal Services on 9/12. His kennel card says he’s a sweet senior who needs a bed at all times, & now, due to an even further decline, he’s been given until tmrw, 10/16 @ 4:00 PM. 

At this point, the shelter is advising that he needs hospice rescue ASAP. He’s having trouble going up & down the elevated kennels & really just needs a soft place to land, feel loved, & spend whatever time he has left knowing that there is kindness in this world. 

He will receive medication to help with the aches & pains. This is so heartbreaking to me, but even more so, for him. If you can’t foster Cammo then plz consider sharing his story. His time is running out & he needs help.

🐾✨ MEDLEY SPOTLIGHT: KOVU A2742490 ✨🐾

💔 Pit bulls are one of the most misunderstood breeds. And Kovu deserves a chance to prove that love is so much stronger than a label. ❤️🐶

🚫 6 PIT BULL MYTHS THAT NEED TO BE BUSTED! 🐾

❌ Myth 1: Pit bulls are naturally aggressive.

❌ Myth 2: Pit bulls can’t be loving family dogs.

❌ Myth 3: Pit bulls can’t live in apartments.

❌ Myth 4: Pit bulls can’t get along with other dogs.

❌ Myth 5: A pit bull’s jaw locks when it bites.

❌ Myth 6: You can judge a dog’s personality by its breed.

This sweet boy Kovu is proof that what’s on the outside doesn’t tell you everything about the heart on the inside. He’s a compact little lovebug waiting for someone to see HIM, not a stereotype.

🏡 His smaller size could make him a wonderful apartment companion with the right daily exercise, enrichment, and care.

✨ Kovu is also eligible for a Pawventure! Give him a break from shelter life and let him experience a little taste of the world beyond his kennel.

❤️ Can you foster him? Adopt him? Or help by sharing his story?

📩 Interested in adopting or fostering Kovu? DM any of the accounts tagged here for more details!

📧 Foster inquiries: asdfoster@miamidade.gov

📍 Kovu is waiting at the Medley Shelter:
7401 NW 74th Street, Medley, FL
Open Saturday & Sunday, 1–4 PM.

❤️ PLEASE LEAVE A ❤️ IN THE COMMENTS FOR KOVU! Every comment, share, and act of kindness can help his story reach the person who changes his life.

🐾 I am a volunteer with Miami-Dade Animal Services and am sharing Kovu’s story to help him find a loving home. I am not directly involved in the adoption process.

🙏 Don’t let a stereotype stand between Kovu and his happily ever after. Look beyond the label. See the dog. Choose love. ❤️🐶 #shelterdogsofinstagram #miamidogs #dadecounty

Luna counts on us at the shelter to give her the liberating feeling of going outside just for 15 minutes a day. It’s so hard just like the other dogs, to go back to the same lonely kennel for the rest of the day. 

My biggest wish is that someone sees Luna’s shine and personality. Every time I take her outside I try to hold my tears in. Looking in her eyes it feels like she’s talking to me, if you ever met Luna you probably know what I’m talking about. 274 days living in the shelter, nearly reaching a year. Imagine her spending the holidays by herself, not being with the family she’s meant to be with.

I’ll be the voice for you Luna, I’ll pray for you, I’ll take you out as much as I could, till the right family reaches you.

Luna’s ID: #A2240689🩷
-🐾 5 year old American Bulldog
- ✨Playful and Energetic
-❤️Affectionate
-🐶Extremely friendly

🔇💔 NO TRENDING AUDIO. JUST THE HARSH REALITY OF A SHELTER DOG’S LIFE. 

✨ Medley Spotlight ✨ Genny 🩷 A2810505

Listen to the sounds of Genny’s world. And then ask yourself… is this where a one-year-old puppy should be spending her life? 🥺🐾

Genny is just a baby. A little girl with so much life, love, and puppy energy inside her, yet she’s growing up surrounded by the noise and uncertainty of a shelter.

She should be chasing toys across the living room, splashing happily in her own backyard pool 💦, curling up beside her favorite human, and falling asleep on a cozy bed knowing she is safe and loved.

She doesn’t understand why she’s here. She doesn’t know how long she’ll have to wait. She only knows the world around her is loud.

Genny loves splashing in a pool, is full of that irresistible puppy energy, and has a whole lifetime of love to give. ❤️

Please don’t let her puppyhood pass her by in a shelter. She has so much life ahead of her. Let’s help her spend it where she belongs… in a home. 🏡💗

🐾 ADOPT Genny and give her the life she deserves.
🐾 FOSTER her and give her a break from shelter life.
🐾 TAKE HER ON A PAWVENTURE and let her experience the world outside her kennel.
🐾 SHARE her post. Her person might be one share away.
❤️ LEAVE A HEART IN THE COMMENTS FOR GENNY. Let’s show this sweet girl some love!

🎁 Want to help the dogs at BOTH Miami-Dade Animal Services locations, Medley and Doral? Donations of supplies and other support are always appreciated. You can find the donation link in my bio. Every act of kindness makes a difference. 🐶💕

📧 Foster inquiries: asdfoster@miamidade.gov

🐾 Disclaimer: I am a volunteer with Miami-Dade Animal Services and am not directly involved in the adoption process. Please contact the shelter for adoption and fostering information.

💔 One day, Genny’s shelter days will be behind her. Let’s help make that day come sooner.

She’s only one. She deserves to grow up knowing what it feels like to belong. ❤️🐾 #miamidogsinneed #shelterdogsofinstagram #shelterdog

We’re back with a Mamita #A2805839 PSA 🥹💗✨— she’s out on foster & loving every second of learning to be a dog again. From happy tail wags, to peaceful naps, & walks with her foster siblings, Mamita is thriving & growing & healing. 

Her foster mom is helping heal her skin, is getting her some basic training, & is letting her decompress. All while loving her, being patient with her, & showing the world why fostering matters so much. Why fostering SAVES lives. 

I’m so thankful to her for taking a chance on the scared mama dog who couldn’t even jump into the car out of fear. Who knows where Mamita would be if it weren’t for this opportunity to spend time in a loving home. 

Mamita is still looking for her forever home & will make the perfect bestie. Would you like to meet her? Plz send me a DM. I’d love to help coordinate a meet & greet with her foster mom & help in any capacity that I can 🫶🏻
