11. Roy
Adult (8 years 3 months) · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Highland Beach




Rex & Roy — Twice the Love, One Very Special Bond ❤️
Some dogs find their person.
Rex and Roy found each other.
These two sweet boys are a truly bonded pair, and after six months in our care, we can say with confidence that they are every bit as special as they look in their photos.
Rex
, a 4-year-old Pit mix, and
Roy
, an 8-year-old Husky mix, are affectionate, lovable companions who share an incredible friendship. They are happiest together, whether they’re relaxing side by side, enjoying attention, or simply keeping each other company.
Read more about Roy
Roy is the older, laid-back gentleman of the pair, while Rex brings a little younger energy to the partnership. Together, they balance each other beautifully.
They have become very loved members of the Everglades Angels family, but what they need now is something we cannot give them at the rescue:
a home and family of their own.
We know adopting two large dogs is a bigger commitment, but Rex and Roy come with something pretty wonderful — they already have a best friend built in. You won’t just be adopting two dogs. You’ll be giving two devoted friends the happy ending they have been waiting for.
After six months of waiting, we would love nothing more than to see these sweet boys walking out our doors
together, forever.
Adoption Requirement:
Rex & Roy must be adopted together.
If you have room in your home — and your heart — for two wonderful boys,
please give Rex and Roy a chance. They have waited long enough for someone to choose them
Rex
DOB: February 2022
Breed: Pit mix
Weight: 74 lbs
Roy
DOB: February 2018
Breed: Husky mix
Weight: 85 lbs

12. Melanie Rose
Senior (8 years 2 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier (short coat) · 12 mi from Highland Beach




Melanie Rose was found abandoned at a church in Pembroke Pines, FL.
I am 8 years old, which means I have a lot of love stored up and I am very ready to give all of it to you. I love walks - genuinely, enthusiastically, every single time. I love stuffed animals and I take very good care of them. I love cuddles more than almost anything in the world and I am exceptionally good at them. I am told I am the biggest cuddle bug anyone here has ever met and I accept that title with full sincerity.
Read more about Melanie Rose
I am potty trained and great in the car and fine on my own when I need to be. I have done a lot of hard things and I have handled all of them with more grace than anyone had a right to expect.
All I need now is you. A patient home. A soft couch. Someone who understands that 8 years old is not too old - it is just the right age to finally get everything I deserve.

13. Morgan
Young (8 months) · Female · Terrier (short coat) · 12 mi from Highland Beach





How do you find a 5-month-old puppy wandering around with a rope tied around his neck? Sadly, someone did.
Thankfully, they stopped, picked him up, and brought her to us at Everglades Angels Dog Rescue.
Meet Morgan. She is just a baby with her whole life ahead of her. Instead of being safe, loved, and cared for, she was left to fend for herself. We may never know her story, but we do know how her next chapter will go.
Morgan is now safe.
Morgan is a wonderful and playful pup that has a tail wag for everyone and kisses galore!
14. Anna
Adult · Female · Vizsla / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Highland Beach




You can apply for Anna at https://ladyluckanimalrescue.wufoo.com/forms/canine-adoption-agreement-and-application/ ❤️
Anna is an 8 year old Vizsla Mix Female who was recently owner surrendered to us by her odopter who felt she was too old for a dog of Anna’s size. Anna weighs approximately 55 lbs. She loves going on car rides to the park to play with other dogs and she enjoys the beach! Anna is wonderful in her foster home where there are currently two male large breed dogs. Her foster Dad works from home and has a large fenced in yard for her to play in. Anna’s ideal adopter will have dogs with similar energy (no cats) and will work from home or be retired.
Read more about Anna
Anna enjoys being surrounded by other dogs and her humans. She was abandoned and found as a stray, so being alone is scary for her! She’s affectionate, house trained, walks well on a leash and overall an easy keeper for the right person.
Anna is currently being fostered in Jupiter Florida. She’s ready to find her Forever home!

Adopting a dog in Highland Beach
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
