Miami Pets Alive

The condition of animals in Miami-Dade County needs urgent and significant improvement. Too many animals are euthanized in shelters for lack of homes. Too many die on the streets. Too many are neglected and abused.

This problem is endemic in the rest of the nation; however, many communities have built coalitions to address the problem and achieved constructive results.

In 1987, a total of 17 million dogs and cats were destroyed in shelters and pounds across the United States. In 1999, that number dropped to an astonishing 5 million. We owe this dramatic decrease to stirring changes in the humane movement. Adherence to the philosophy of “humane euthanasia” has now evolved into a more proactive approach: the “no-kill” movement.

The key to successfully building a “no-kill” community can be captured in one word: collaboration. The leaders of the new movement have realized that isolated attempts within communities to deal with the overpopulation problem do not work. In other words, “it takes a village.”

Hence Miami Pets Alive! is proposing that our community joins forces, and together, takes the necessary measures to end the overpopulation problem, and in so doing, improve the conditions of companion animals in Miami-Dade County.

We count on you to support our initiative and join our coalition.
