MIAMI, FL—September 10, 2012-- It’s really big; it’s humongous; it’s colossal; it’s immense. And it’s every animal lover’s fantasy come true.

The marathon adoption of puppies and kitties will kick-off the festivities at midnight and then continue with the older animals for the rest of the 24 hour-long event. (Who will you take home?)

The Humane Society of Greater Miami, Miami-Dade Animal Services, and The Cat Network, together with rescue groups from all over South Florida, will host the event at the covered Equestrian Center in Tropical Park, 7900 Bird Road in Miami.

Humane Society of Greater Miami
The Humane Society of Greater Miami Adopt-A-Pet is a limited admit, adoption guarantee facility dedicated to placing every dog and cat in our care into a loving home, and to promoting responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter programs. Adoption guarantee simply means that every animal under our care is safe from the threat of euthanasia for as long as it takes to find them a forever family. We are not government funded and rely on our community for financial support.

Miami Dade Animal Services
in October, 2005, the Miami-Dade Animal Services Department (ASD) was created as a stand-alone entity in an effort to provide focused care for the County's animal population. By becoming an independent entity, the Animal Services Department was able to concentrate its resources on its core
mission of caring for the animals in its custody. Each year the shelter impounds approximately 36,000dogs and cats. Its goal is to reunite lost pets with their owners and find life-long homes for as many animals as possible as well as providing proper care for them while they're at the shelter.
