MANILA, Philippines - Newly-formed in 2005 and now independent from the Miami Dade Police Department, investigators and animal control officers of the Animal Services Department (ASD) cover over 2,000 square miles from South Beach Miami to the Everglades. Animal Planet’s Animal Cops Miami follows the humane law investigators of the ASD in their battle against animal cruelty as they set out to rescue animals from their predicament before it is too late. Episodes premiere Mondays through Fridays. Encores air Tuesdays through Fridays at 11 a.m.
The county of Miami Dade, Florida is home to millions of creatures from alligators to Chihuahuas but there is only one team dedicated to animal emergencies: The men and women of Animal Cops Miami. For the cops, their city is literally an urban jungle. The team responds to a broad range of animal situations, from the most dangerous, serious cases to more lighthearted ones.
