Sadly, her puppies were never found. Despite being young \u2014 likely under two years old \u2014 Mama has been repeatedly overlooked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Shelter staff say Mama is extremely sweet and simply needs some patience and time to feel comfortable. While she was nervous in the car and in the unfamiliar TV studio, her tail kept wagging whenever she saw someone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Staff say fostering could be a great option for someone who wants to give Mama a chance to blossom in a calm home environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">And Mama isn\u2019t the only dog looking for a family. Amos, a larger adult dog who has also been at the shelter for months, is waiting for his chance, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The message from Animal Services is simple: don\u2019t overlook adult or larger dogs. They can make wonderful companions when given the right home and a little love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamidade.gov\/global\/animals\/home.page\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.miamidade.gov\/global\/animals\/home.page\">Click here<\/a> for more information on how you can adopt a pet. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Ryan Mackey\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/8725e99c-e445-48a0-bd.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Ryan Mackey <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Ryan Mackey is a Digital Journalist at WPLG.
