Hi there! So, you're thinking about making the move to Miami-Dade County with your furry buddy? That's awesome! But before you and your dog start planning those beach days and city adventures, there are a few things you'll want to know about pet rules in the area.

Miami-Dade County has its own set of guidelines for pet owners, all aimed at keeping everyone safe and happy, both humans and animals alike. From licenses and leash laws to breed restrictions and noise regulations, there's a bit to wrap your head around. But don't sweat it—we'll break it down for you in a way that's easy to grasp and, dare I say, even a little enjoyable.

- Licensing:Think of it as getting your pup their very own ID card. Just swing by the Animal Services Department, show proof of vaccinations, pay a fee, and ta-da! Your furry pal is officially a Miami-Dade resident. This license isn't just for show; it helps animal control folks identify lost pets and reunite them with their families. Plus, it's the law, so definitely important to have.

- Leash Laws: Miami-Dade wants everyone to enjoy the outdoors safely, which means keeping your pup on a leash when you're out and about. It's all about being a responsible pet parent and avoiding any hairy situations. Leashes are a must in public areas like parks, sidewalks, and beaches. Even if your dog is the friendliest pup around, it's still important to keep them leashed to prevent any potential conflicts.

-Breed Restrictions: Miami-Dade has some rules regarding certain breeds they consider "risky." So, if your furry friend falls into that category, be prepared for some extra steps like registration and possibly special insurance. Breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and some Mastiffs are commonly restricted. These rules are in place to ensure everyone's safety, so it's important to know them beforehand.

- Animal Care: Of course, treating your pet with love and care is a given. Animal cruelty is a big no-no, and Miami-Dade takes it seriously. So, make sure your furry friend gets the care and respect they deserve—plenty of food, water, shelter, and medical attention. And if you ever suspect animal cruelty, don't hesitate to speak up.

- Noise Regulations: Excessive barking can be a headache for neighbors, so it's important to address it with positive training techniques. Training and socialization can go a long way in ensuring your dog is a good citizen in the neighborhood.

- Clean-up Duty: Miami-Dade has laws about picking up pet waste in public areas, so always have those poop bags handy.

- Condo and Homeowners Associations: A community owners' association can be quite particular about their pet policies. So, before you get too attached to a place, it's essential to ensure they're open to pets. And if they are, fantastic! But there's a bit more to consider than just a general approval for pets. We need to inquire about their specific rules regarding dogs and how many are permitted. After all, we wouldn't want Fido feeling overcrowded in his new home, would we?

But hey, it's not all rules and regulations! There are some dog-friendly parks where you and your furry pal can soak up the sun together. Just remember to keep your pup on a leash and clean up any messes. 

Let's take Fido for a spin in the neighborhoods I specialize in! From Kendall to Coral Gables, there's a dog park waiting for us in each area.

~ Willy and Gloria P.

Liz was the listing agent for a Miami property I called on and made an appointment to see . That's how it all started.I wasn't working with any agent and I told Liz I didn't want to commit to anyone. She stated she understood, nevertheless, she was relentless in keeping in touch with me. Finally, in one of her phone calls, Liz asked me if she was working hard to get my business ? I said yes, of course. Then she stated, "Imagine, what I am capable of doing in finding and negotiating for you in a tough and competitive Miami market?". That clinched it !

~ Alex Y.

As a business man, one of the things that impressed me about Liz is is her negotiation skills, patience and cool under pressure. She looks for a win-win even though at times we were just being one sided. Liz reminded us it's a sellers' market with properties selling quickly at or little above asking price in the area we wanted to buy.Whatever we weren't familiar with, Liz simplified it so we felt comfortable and understood the transaction.

"...One of her best qualities is her ability to stand back, listen to your needs, present you all the alternatives and let you make the original decisions. She is not assertive with her opinion but when she says you better listen because it will be in your own best interest..."

Ms Liz Keneally was a angel sent. I was going through personal hardship. And having a hard time not only selling The property but with the result of impending foreclosure. Which at the time was a very difficult time in my life. And she came along. And got a contract within a week. And I have nothing but gratitude towards her and her team. That treated me and my children like family.

Liz has been a wonderful real estate agent for us. She is an excellent communicator, and communicates in a very timely manner.

We have been extremely happy with the work that Liz has done for us. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is seeking to sell or buy property.
