Adoption Process

Visit the shelter in person during adoption hours (Tuesday–Sunday, 12–7pm) for an adoption counseling visit; adoptions are first come, first served, walk-ins welcome, and a pet-to-pet meet and greet is recommended. Adopters must be 18+, provide documented permission to have a pet in their home, and complete an adoption contract assuming responsibility as the new legal owner.

Humane Society of Greater Miami in North Miami, FL

The Humane Society of Greater Miami is located in North Miami, Florida, in Miami-Dade County, where it shares the region with 16 other animal shelters and rescues, and sits about 10 miles south of Miami. It has been helping homeless animals in Miami-Dade County since 1936 as a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable animal welfare organization. It operates as a limited admit, adoption guarantee facility, meaning every dog and cat admitted is protected from euthanasia due to time, space, or treatable medical issues while they wait for a permanent home. Beyond adoptions, it runs a low-cost spay/neuter and preventative veterinary clinic and offers humane education programs for schools, youth groups, and community organizations to promote kindness to animals and responsible pet ownership.
