A video series by Bentley's Playhouse
Pups in My City
Brunch dates, first dates and shelter pups on a day out. Pups in My City is our fun, lighthearted look at dog life in Miami: the places that welcome dogs, the people who show up for them and the dogs still waiting for a home.
And I couldn't help but wonder… what if every shelter dog got a night out on the town?

Every episode has a dog at the center of it. Here's what you'll see.
Dog-Friendly Miami
Brunch, patios, shops and parks that roll out the welcome mat for dogs. We bring a pup along and show you what it's really like.
Dating With Dogs
A first date, plus one very good chaperone. We bring a dog along and watch the reaction. Nothing tells you more about someone.
Shelter Pawventures
We take a dog from Miami-Dade Animal Services out for the day, so you can see who they are outside the kennel, and maybe fall for them.
Inside the Dog Community
Visits to places like the Humane Society of Greater Miami, and the important stories in Miami's dog world, told in plain words.
Why We Make It
It's supposed to be fun. It's also how we get dogs seen.
- Shelter and community dogs who need a home. A dog laughing on a patio does more for an adoption than a kennel photo ever could.
- Animal well-being. We cover what's happening in Miami's dog community and how you can help.
- Dog-friendly businesses. We spotlight the places that make room for dogs, so you know where to bring yours.
