3. Ragnar

Adult (3 years 9 months) · Male · Labrador Retriever · 16 mi from Jupiter

I am being rehomed because both my parents are first responders and they want me to have more attention than what I get now. They're hoping I have a big house and a fenced yard to play in. I am housebroken and crate trained. I don't have to be crated when they're not home. I live with two other dogs that are much older. I'm great with kids. I'm a little scared of cats.

6. Roy

Adult (8 years 3 months) · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Jupiter

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

7. Melanie Rose

Senior (8 years 2 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier (short coat) · 47 mi from Jupiter

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.

8. Morgan

Young (8 months) · Female · Terrier (short coat) · 47 mi from Jupiter

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!

9. Riley

Young · Female · Husky (medium coat) · 34 mi from Jupiter

This sweet girl has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes her an absolute joy to be around.Riley gets along great with other dogs, is already house broken, and loves making her people happy. She’s treat-motivated and knows her basic commands, which makes her both smart and eager to please. She will need a fenced in yard or someone who can teach her how to walk on a leash. If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up with playtime and then happily relax by your side, Riley could be the perfect match for you.

He’s also a big fan of belly rubs and soaking up quality time with staff and volunteers — attention is definitely one of his favorite things! He enjoys showing off the basic commands he’s learned, especially when yummy treats are involved.This smart young pup is also working toward being fully housebroken and continues to make steady progress with routine and consistency.
Asher is one of five littermates, and they have already found their forever homes.

Read more about Asher

He is still patiently waiting for his turn. Because of his playful energy, he would likely do best in a home with children 10 years or older. A high, secured, fenced‑in yard would be ideal for him to safely run and play, or he’d thrive with a family or individual who enjoys long walks and staying active.

Adopting a large dog in Jupiter

Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.

Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
