REMOVE THE UNFAIR "DANGEROUS DOG" DESIGNATION – SAVE AMELIA, SAMANTHA, AVA, AND ALICIA!

📍 To: Miami-Dade Animal Services & Mayor Daniella Levine Cava

Amelia #2633754 Samantha #A2633750 Ava #A263755 and Alicia #A2633748 have already survived unimaginable cruelty. They were confiscated from a horrific abuse case and arrived at Miami-Dade Animal Services in October 2024, terrified but full of hope. Despite their past, these dogs have proven to be friendly, loving, and excellent companions—far from the label they've been given.

Since arriving at the shelter, they have:
🐾 Shown zero aggression toward people or other dogs.
🐾 Thrived in playgroups, interacting with all kinds of dogs.
🐾 Been used as "helper dogs", guiding shy and nervous dogs to play and socialize.

Yet, due to an unproven incident before their rescue, they have been designated as "Dangerous Dogs." This label is not only unfair but life-threatening—as it drastically reduces their chances of being adopted.

⚠️ The Dangerous Dog designation means:
🚫 They must wear a muzzle whenever outside.
💰 Their adopters must pay a $500 lifetime tag fee and a yearly $125 tag fee.
🚧 Their future home must have specific enclosures and signage at the entrance.

These restrictions do not reflect the true nature of these dogs. They have never been properly evaluated, yet they are being sentenced to a life of restrictions—or worse, euthanasia.

We urge Miami-Dade Animal Services and Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to re-evaluate and remove this designation so Amelia, Samantha, Ava, and Alicia can have a real chance at finding loving homes.

⏳ Time is running out. Please sign and share to give these innocent dogs the future they deserve!
