Hello! My name is Caprisse, and I’m a 3-year-old miniature Poodle with a beautiful chocolate coat and an even sweeter personality. I came from a breeder, and now I’m ready for a fresh start where I can finally be someone’s whole world.
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:

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 Eol!
For the first 4 years of my life, I wasn’t really anyone’s “baby.” I was just a stud dog for a breeder, kept to make puppies and never truly loved for me. 💔 I didn’t know what it meant to be part of a family, to be cuddled on a couch, or to be told I was special.
My Name is Gaga!
I’m a 2-year-old Korean Maltese with a big heart and a waggy tail! ✨ For the first part of my life, I was used for breeding, but those days are behind me now—and I’m ready to just be a dog 💕.
My Name is Matisse!
I’m a 1 year-old toy poodle ( and a few months ) 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.

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.
