Looking to welcome a furry friend into your home? Consider the heartfelt journey of adoption over purchasing from a breeder or a pet store. Here’s why:
Save a Life, Be a Hero:
Every adoption opens a door to a brighter future for a pet in need. By choosing adoption, you're not just gaining a companion; you're rescuing an animal from a potentially uncertain fate. Be the hero they've been waiting for!
Unconditional Love Awaits:
Shelter pets have an extraordinary capacity to love. Despite past hardships, their hearts remain open and ready to shower you with endless affection. Experience the unparalleled bond of unconditional love that comes with adopting a pet.
Health and Happiness Guaranteed:
Shelter pets are typically spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and often microchipped before adoption, ensuring they're ready to integrate seamlessly into your family. Plus, you'll enjoy the peace of mind knowing you've given them a second chance at a fulfilling life.
GOLDEN AGE, GOLDEN PAWS
Join us in celebrating the beauty of senior adoption and the incredible bond between seniors and senior dogs. Together, we can make a difference – one golden paw at a time.
At Max’s Ark Rescue, we are dedicated to finding loving forever homes for each of our dogs and cats. Our personalized adoption process is tailored to ensure the best match for adopters, regardless of what you are looking for. Please review our adoption process and info before you complete your adoption application (scroll down under pets ready for adoption).
Pets Ready For Adoption
My Name is Matisse!
I’m a 6 month-old toy poodle with a gorgeous tricolor coat! Life started a little bumpy for me—I was taken away from my mom and siblings and then surrendered to Max’s Ark because I was born with one eye that’s much smaller than the other.
My name is Nevaeh!
I’m an 8-month-old American Bully, and let me tell you—I’m loving this whole “being spoiled” thing in my foster home! 💖 I get belly rubs, treats, and so much love while I wait for my forever family.
My Name is Vexy!
Hello there, future family… it’s me, Vexy. 🐾💖
I’m a 2-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, and I haven’t had the easiest start in life. I was used for breeding, then tossed away like I didn’t matter.
My Name is Magic!
Hello there, future family! 🐾 My name is Magic, and I’m a beautiful Korean Pomeranian who spent my past years bringing puppies into the world. But now, it’s my turn to be loved and cherished in a forever home! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who adores human company and gets along great with other dogs. I’m calm, healthy, and oh-so-ready to snuggle up on your lap or keep you company during the day.
What To Know Before Adopting or Owning A Dog
Bringing a dog into your life is an exciting and joyful experience, but it’s important to remember that it comes with a significant responsibility. Owning or adopting a dog is not just a temporary arrangement; it is a lifelong commitment that requires dedication, time, and resources.

Additional adoption info:
♥ Our energetic puppy and young adult aged dogs require owners with active lifestyles, regular walking and socialization.
♥ As a gentle reminder for seasoned dog owners as well as new ones, a day in the life of a puppy is one of high energy, early mornings, late nights and housetraining!
♥ If you are a Senior, please consider adopting one of the many Senior dogs in need of a home. The advantages of a mature dog are numerous and rewarding for both the dog and the owner. We do not adopt out puppies to Seniors beyond 65 (young middle aged).
♥ Our main concern is the age of the dog and potential owner and getting them placed in a loving FOREVER home.
♥ We require a Florida residence, full or part time. Please consider this when submitting your application as you must be in Florida at the time of the adoption.
♥ We do not place our dogs in homes with young children (less than 10) for the safety of both the child and the dog.
♥ The number of dogs in an adoptive home cannot exceed 3.
