Volunteer foster parents will bring adoptable dogs to The Old Miami for one hour prior to showtime so you can meet, pet, play with the dogs and learn about the dogs' disposition from the foster parent. (AND maybe adopt!)

*Dogs are not allowed in the beautiful backyard of The Old Miami, so if you do decided to adopt, you will need to make arrangements with the foster family.
