Miami Pets Alive

The primary focus will be to target the root of the problem, overpopulation. We must decrease the number of unwanted animals; therefore, sterilization will be our core objective. For this purpose, all available resources must be efficiently utilized. As they say in the no-kill movement: “you can never adopt your way out of the problem.” No matter how many animals are rescued or how many are adopted to loving families, there just aren’t enough homes for all of them. Hence, sterilization must take precedence.

Secondly, Miami Pets Alive! will concentrate on adoptions, which are essential to building a no-kill community. To increase the number of animals adopted, we will design and implement more creative and proactive ways to market the animals, as well as innovative adoption events, which, for the most part, will include taking the animals to where the people are. To ensure retention, the adopters will be educated on proper care and training.

Last, but not least, the community needs to be educated on the importance of spaying & neutering and responsible pet guardianship. By getting out the crucial message that these animals are suffering and dying by the thousands, we hope to make citizens understand the problem and work together toward a mutually beneficial solution, both for the people and the animals of Miami-Dade County.
