Paws 4 You Rescue on Animal Planet

Miami Animal Police follows a team of officers dedicated to the Animal Services Unit (ASU) as they police the 2.2 million people of the extremely diverse Miami-Dade County area. Based minutes from downtown Miami and on call 24 hours a day, the ASU responds to a broad range of animal situations, from the most dangerous and serious cases to more lighthearted ones.

The primary responsibilities of the officers assigned to the Miami-Dade Police Department Animal Services Unit are to prevent and punish animal cruelty cases, protect the public from rabies and problems associated with stray dogs and cats, and pick up stray and injured animals.

Paws 4 You Rescue is called upon regularly to rescue animals from Miami-Dade Animal Services. See below for a few of our stories...
