HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - There was a new hope in Hialeah this weekend for some furry friends who need a forever home.

Some families looking for a pet to love decided adoption is the way on Saturday, May the Fourth, also known as Star Wars Day.

Miami-Dade County Animal Services brought dozens of shelter dogs to Amelia Earhart Park, located at 401 E 65th St.

The Force was with many of them.

“We’re so grateful for everyone that came out and adopted; it makes a big difference,” said Annette Jose, director of MDAS. “Every dog that gets adopted means that they’re going on to have a great life.”

All of the pups that found families were vaccinated and microchipped, as well as spayed or neutered.
