🌴☀️ A little local love for two very deserving boys… 🐾

Life With Reef’s Operation Homeward Bound selected Coffee Bean & Hogan to be featured in the Friends of Jupiter Beach August newsletter — because these two amazing PBCACC dogs have been way too overlooked, and it’s time to get them seen, loved, and adopted into the homes they deserve. 💙

🤎 COFFEE BEAN
3 years old • 55 lbs
Basically summer in dog form. ☀️
💦 Loves the pool
🎾 Obsessed with playing ball
🐶 Dog friendly
🏡 Housebroken
💗 Super affectionate, playful, happy and full of love

🖤 HOGAN
2 years old • 50 lbs
Our big beautiful blockhead — part black panther, part hippo, full-time snuggle bug. 😂
🤗 LOVES being loved
💆 Very serious about his massages
🐶 Dog friendly
🏡 Housebroken
🎾 Playful when you want to have fun, super chill when it’s time to relax

Both of these boys are such good dogs and somehow keep getting passed by. We’re hoping a little extra hometown spotlight is exactly what helps their people finally find them. 🌴❤️

And a HUGE shoutout to our partners at Friends of Jupiter Beach for being such a big part of our mission and always helping us shine a light on our local shelter dogs. We are so grateful to have local partners who truly show up for them. 🫶🐾

This is Operation Homeward Bound.
Local businesses. Local community. Local shelter dogs.
All coming together to help get them HOME. 🌊🏡

Look 👀 who got adopted!!!🥹🥹🥹💙💙💙💙💙
Max has been heavily on my mind since he made the trip to our friends in NH Darbster Rescue ! 🛟
Max was in our program being networked for so so long without any serious interest🫠 CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THAT!???
Our shelter rescue partners saw what a perfect boy he was and said Yes lets take him up north to their rescue!
Well it didnt take very long and now he has a family of his own 💙
We love you dearly Max and are over the moon 🌙 for you and your new mom!

Reunited and it feels so good 🎶🎼🎵 Crixus!!!!!!
One of our most memorable dogs on our Life with Reef’s Operation Homeward Bound program! Over a year in our program and waiting for a home!
He is living his best life now with THE BEST FAMILY!! He is a joy and a complete blessing to them and his fur sibling. Crix has even been a foster brother to over 9 dogs so far,,, talk about paying it forward 🩷🩷🩷👏🏻👏🏻 I am so incredibly proud of him seeing him so happy and loved just makes the struggles worth it!
This could not be possible without my team and supporters! My incredible fosters, the business that welcome us, the volunteers that are my ride and dies (Sol 🩷☀️) the shelter Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control for allowing me to do my thing and trust our mission! Our goal isnt jusvto get them out. Our goal is to get them into loving homes, homes that treat their dogs as part of the family and nothing less. When you adopt or foster a dog in our program, you are forever family. I met Crixs mom over seven years ago when I adopted Reef. It’s funny how things come full circle. I’m blessed to have this family still in our lives! Crix we love you 🩵
These pupdates are reminders that our dogs complete families.
If you want a Crixus in your life I can help 🥰🐶☀️🌴
See ya soon buddy! I see a Reef playdate in your future!

My heart has been on quite the roller coaster 🎢 lately. I refuse to give up, IYKYK!
Today marks 2 weeks since Max returned to the shelter 😩💔

Let me break down what this looks like.
He was being fostered for 3 months in loving home. 🏠 He had love, cuddles, a comfy couch to lay on, yummy 😋 quality food the foster fed him that cleared up his skin condition from the harsh elements of the shelter along with stress and chicken allergy. He had shoes for walking bc they didnt want him to burn his toe beans 🥺, he had toys 🧸, he had air conditioning… he had a life!!!
That is all taken away from him now 💔
He is only 1 yrs and 7 mnths old. He had had a ruff life and its not fair! Hes a good boy and anyone would be so lucky to have them in their family.

Max is part of my Life with Reef’s Operation Homeward Bound program!

When you foster we supply everything he needs!
🤙🏻Food, medical, constant support, enrichment, etc .

When adopted we also sponsor 3 training sessions with one of our partners!

Seeing Max struggle yesterday was gut wrenching 💔 he is soooooo stressed out and so very confused why he is back at the shelter all alone . His skin is becoming an issue again and he is swimming in his own drool from stress panting. He needs out!!! We fear he will get a deadline, I am trying as hard as I can but I need your support, your shares, your comments …Max needs you!

No cats 🐱
No small dogs 🐕
With slow and proper introductions we feel another chill dog would be ✅ok

Pablo wants to thank everyone for donating to his “camp stay” while his fosters went away!
We are beyond thrilled to have found and to add her to our ⭕️ circle! I went to visit this handsome dude today and enjoyed spending time bouncing ideas around with Nicole while getting much needed Pablo hugs!
The universe happens in mysterious ways when one door shuts a new one always opens! Pablo is now learning some basics and having a ball at his boarding camp! Thank you again for everyone’s donations! We literally could not do this without your support! 🐶🌴💙

We are in the middle of a full-blown crisis in this country when it comes to homeless dogs — and yet the people in power continue to ignore the core issues while thousands of dogs die every single day.

Dogs sit in shelters for YEARS unseen.
Dogs are euthanized for space.
Dogs are labeled with “kennel stress” after being locked in cages for months and then discarded like they never mattered.
Some never even get a chance.

And while this is happening… why are hobby breeding licenses in places like Palm Beach County only $150? Why are puppy stores still allowed to exist when they are the retail outlet for puppy mills?

Make it make sense.

Rescuers, advocates, fosters, and volunteers are working 24/7 trying to save lives with little to no support, only constant pushback. We save five dogs, and 100 more are next in line to die. The system is broken and everyone knows it.

Why are we not addressing the housing crisis affecting pet owners? Families are being forced out of their homes and cannot find rentals that accept dogs — especially certain breeds. People are surrendering animals they love because they have nowhere else to go.

We need REAL solutions:
• Mandatory affordable spay & neuter programs
• Stronger penalties for backyard breeders
• Restrictions on irresponsible breeding
• Accountability for puppy stores
• Housing protections for responsible dog owners
• Education on proper dog ownership and wellness
• Action from HOAs and private landlords
• Enforcement for roaming and abandoned dogs

Every time I open Facebook, there’s another “FOUND DOG” post — especially in areas like Jupiter Farms. This is not normal. This is what happens when irresponsible ownership and lack of policy collide.

We cannot keep pretending this is just “part of rescue.” It is a systemic failure.

Start showing up to commissioner meetings.
Write your lawmakers.
Push for programs that protect animals.
Vote for people who actually care.

This issue needs to be on everyone’s agenda because the animals are paying for our silence with their lives.
