A Miami-Dade dog owner is speaking out after her beloved pet was fatally attacked by another dog in the parking lot of Miami-Dade Animal Services in Doral. Emily Mirabal recounted that she had brought her dachshund to the shelter for vaccinations when a pit bull escaped and attacked her dog. Despite efforts to intervene, her small dog succumbed to the injuries sustained in the incident.
The event has raised concerns about safety measures at the facility, as no clear response plan was in place at the time of the attack. Miami-Dade Animal Services operates an outdoor facility in Medley and has protocols for extreme weather but has faced scrutiny over its operations. The incident underscores ongoing challenges related to animal control and safety in the county.
This development has drawn attention within the community and highlights the need for continued evaluation of safety protocols at animal services locations.
