December 15 is Save Charlie Day. A day held to raise awareness for animal adoption and named after what once was the most popular dog name in time.

“Animal shelters are very crowded it’s traditionally the first place people think of when they no longer want their pet or when they find a stray pet,” Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption and Protection Center Assistant Director Kathleen Labrada said.

Currently, the center is at capacity with about 500 dogs and over 120 cats available in its network.

CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
