Update: Rescued!
Ten-year-old Frankie spent Christmas, and now the first nine days of 2017 in a kennel cage at the Miami-Dade County Animal Services. The very sad terrier has waited and waited for someone to save him, and no one has stepped forward. He shakes and shivers and has no idea why he is being kept behind bars as a prisoner; the sweet gently dog didn’t do anything wrong.
The shelter has sent out numerous please for help, and this dog urgently needs a rescue to save his life. His deadline is Monday afternoon at 6:00 p.m. when it has been reported the dog will be euthanized for space. Described as incredibly sweet, friendly and calm, this dog would make a wonderful companion. Surely there must be someone out there to give him a loving home and a warm bed – instead of the cold floor of a kennel and a fate even worse than that. The dog’s initial evaluation described him as friendly, non aggressive, but stiff. Advocates have been pledging funds to help a qualified rescue organization with his medical expenses.
Share Frank’s plight with friends, family and social media contacts. We are his future, and sharing saves lives.
A Facebook page for this dog can be followed here. For more information about this dog, contact Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption and Protection Center located at 3599 NW 79th Ave, Doral, FL 33166. Be sure to reference A1840190. According to Urgent Dogs of Miami, there has been interest in rescuing Frank. Pet Harbor listing here.

I tried calling for this dog today but when I pressed 1 for English, I was disconnected. Was he euthanized?
I commented earlier. I called the shelter, but kept getting disconnected when I pressed 1 for English, as instructed by your phone service. I got stuck in meetings & I hope he wasn’t euthanized. What is the status of this little guy??

To openly tell people that you are going to kill a dog today unless someone takes it today is so wrong on so many levels…
I will now be deleting your page off my groups and if anything is posted like this again I’ll start a Country wide protest of your Organization & group page.
Try Me ! ! !
You will get and have so much bad publicity, that No One will want anything to do with your Organization…
TRY ME ! ! !
Not sure why you are so hostile. Miami-Dade is not a no-kill shelter and they do euthanize dogs for space. Wish this were not true, but Frankie has been there and as stated the shelter has sent out numerous pleas for rescue help. We don’t make this stuff up for drama – this is all very true and very sad. What we do is spread the word and through our write-ups, we save over 96% of the pets we write about asking for help. We give them voices and help get their plights out into the public.
Cheryl Hanna, I appreciate everything you do…
He was rescued this morning.
Cheryl, I keep seeing that he’s been rescued. Why is he still on the Pet Harbor listing? Please respond.
According to Urgent Dogs of Miami FB page, he was rescued. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/a1840190?source=feed_text&story_id=1421522344548831 I was informed he was rescued, but there was not an organization noted. I did not see his listing on Pet Harbor. What I referenced in my article was an embedded link, which doesn’t reflect PH current status. I have reached out to the volunteer I know and asked her for an update. If I hear, I will let you know.
Cheryl Hanna, thank you and thank you for responding.
When you are referencing “you are going to kill a dog today” you do realize that it is the animal control agency and not the writer, correct? Just making sure that you are directing your anger to the right place.
Good point!
So true. The writer is not at fault.
So basically you just don’t want to read truth about things that are happening, you just want to live in lala land why ignoring how many innocent animals die. You are part of the problem and I’m sure based on your tyraid That you have dumped a dog or two before. They are trying to save this poor dogs life. Maybe instead of threatening you could learn to help. Wow what a cencept.
I agree keith surely this dogs life is worth more than a deadline I hate threats to see people jump
U so right shame on them.
Vous ne l’avez pas tué, il ne faut pas, se n’est pas ça faute s’il a été abandonné, s’il vous plaît. . . . NOOON????????????????????????
I’m not in any geographical or any other position to help, but God I hope someone can save this lovely boy ❤️
NOT even a comment! What can I say ! Nice job to HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL This Poor FELLOW IS ONE OF OURS that HASN”T GOTTEN ADOPTED when Thousands of Foreign DOGS HAVE BEEN SENT into THE UNITED STATES to save their lives>>> WHAT ABOUT our Dogs!!! I would gladly take this dog, except I live in the WESTERN US and can’t go out to FLORIDA for him…. This is a very SAD ! SAD! ending that didn’t have to happen…. he is not the first and surly won’t be the last… AS YOU can SEE I am not AN ADOVACATE of IMPORTING DOGS from VERY THIRD WORLD so they won’t be ABUSED WHEN WE ARE LETTING THIS HAPPEN to FRANKIE!!!! SHAME ON US!!!!!!
They do have ways to get him to you (volunteers drive them 2 hrs to another volunteer until they get to you. There are also some people who volunteer to fly them. Check into it.
The dogs sent her need our HELP! I don’t give a DAMN where ANY ANIMAL is from, or if some asshole owns it…I’ll RESCUE ANY ANIMAL! Ur anger SHOULD B directed at the SCUMBAGZ that DUMP, ABUSE & ABANDON!!! With respect 2 HSI, if they didn’t pay EXECUTIVES…6-7 FUCKING FIGURES, MORE ANIMALS WOULD B SAVED!
I Get So Angry with shelters That Kill Dogs For space , Makes Me Sick
The shelters are not the problem…it is the irresponsible people who continue to let their dogs breed without controls or get a dog and dump it.
Granted there are some shelters that kill not for space but just because the dog has been there for 5 or 7 days, but not all.
If people would be responsible this killing would stop.
Shame on you u donor announce this it is just awful please do not kill ???? cruelty to Frankie stop ✋ now Stiop it Today No killing now barbars
Can’t someone foster him? How could he get to NY?
I hope someone will adopt him!
I have said I will pay adoption fee—-can’t someone take him? I will call in credit card info if someone can physically claim him!
Bring him to me, I have a home with lots of love, in Maine
I have a home in Maine, bring him to me. Lots of love
HE IS SAFE ~ PICKED UP BY RESCUE EARLIER <3 <3 <3
I hope so. Why is he still on the Pet Harbor listing?
RESCUED earlier today per shelter.
I hope so. Because he’s still on the Pet Harbor listing.
I hope Frankie gets a reprieve.
How do I get this dog into Canada…… if they can get him to me ill take him today…… please someone …. help me find a way to give this dog a home……
What happened to him? Did someone save him?
All this arguing and nobody is stepping up to save him. I will rescue him! Can someone bring him to North Florida?
this space should be used to find a loving home for this dog not fight so that in mind Chris try calling the shelter where he is they may be able to help direct you to someone who is able to asist.
Even if a rescue stepped up he will still need a forever home…do we know which rescue took him?
Please someone looking for a pet consider this beautiful angel that GOD wants to help. I cant believe there is no compassion for this adorable dog. Im in Canada, or I would, hes lovely. Save him please. Give him a chance, RESCUE, FOSTER ADOPT RESCUE HIM RESCUE RESCUE RESCUE PLEASE.
