We spent a few months organizing a June 26, 2022 meeting with about 40 local volunteer animal rescuers and two featured speakers, County Commissioner Raquel Regalado and Miami-Dade Animal Services Director Bronwyn Stanford. Previously Commissioner Regalado has promised her support for the Pets’ Trust plan. Both featured speakers confirmed they would participate. The rescue groups were there with us. But both featured speakers were no-shows at the meeting. How can we expect our overwhelmed rescue groups to have a dialog with county leaders if our county leaders won’t meet? No rescheduling. No apologies. No help.
