The Betsy hosts the Miami Dade Shelter HOPE Express.
On the last Saturday of the month, Miami Dade Shelter’s HOPE Express will be parked on Ocean Drive, with adorable rescued dogs and cats ready for adoption. The program is hosted by our Managing Director, Jeff Lehman, and don't be surprised if you encounter Mr. Lehman and a few new four-legged friends in our Lobby Salon on these Saturdays.
"Miami-Dade Animal Services (Animal Services) has undertaken a no kill mission to help save the lives of ALL adoptable pets abandoned at the shelter. To help fulfill this mission, Animal Services uses its mobile pet adoption unit, named the HOPE Express, to bring our shelter pets closer to the citizens of our Community. HOPE is an acronym for Helping Our Pets Every day. We are Helping Our Pets Every day, delivering them to new homes –with urgency, with movement, with direction and with hope."
