[QUOTE="WPLG, post: 48342, member: 158"] Dogs are very sensitive to noise. Sometimes Fourth of July fireworks frighten them and they run away. Flora N. Beal, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption & Protection Center, said this is why the shelter is over capacity. Beal said it’s a national trend. “We’re really asking the community, ‘If you can think about adopting, come in now and adopt,’” Beal said.

If a lost dog remains in the neighborhood where they were found, they have a more than 80% chance of being reunited with its family, Beal said. The shelter’s staff is asking residents to take the stray dogs to a veterinarian who can check for a microchip and ask neighbors to foster the dog temporarily. “Always during the July 4, around July 4 holiday, we see a lot of strays coming into the shelters and that’s what we’re experiencing right now,” Beal said.
