Miami Lakes’ Mayor on the Role of Pets

“Our pets play an important role in Miami Lakes, so much so that we created a lost and found pets portal on our website. We’ve seen many happy reunion stories on the site. We also built the K-9 Cove dog park with the mindset, ‘If you build it they will come.’ Yes, K-9 Cove has been a huge success in our community. Dozens of Miami Lakers bring their furry companions to the Cove. Due to our work in these areas, I’m proud that our Town has received the BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ certification.”
