MarrVelous Pet Rescues and Adoptions is dedicated to providing immediate care, medical treatment, and shelter for abandoned, neglected, and stray companion animals. We believe every animal deserves a second chance at forever love, and we strive to secure a brighter future for each one.
Founded in April 2007, our rescue journey began when our founder, Joy Martin, stepped up to save an abandoned dog and a litter of puppies left in danger. Since those early days, we have grown into a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the Florida Keys. We continue to be driven by our passion for rescue, guided by a board of directors who work tirelessly to support animals in need.
We are a 100% foster-based organization, meaning our rescues live in loving, nurturing homes until they are ready for adoption. This environment allows us to learn each animal's unique personality, ensuring we can provide the best possible care and social exposure. Our work is powered by a community of dedicated volunteers and supporters who enable us to provide essential vetting, including spaying, neutering, and medical attention.
Adoption is a forever relationship, and we are committed to making it a successful, joyful partnership. We carefully screen applications to ensure our fantastic rescue pets are matched with the right environment and family. By understanding each pet’s needs, we can guide you to a companion that fits perfectly into your home and lifestyle.
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, foster, or donate, there are many ways to be a part of the MarrVelous family. Please explore our adoptable pets, join us at one of our many local community events, or reach out to us today to learn more about how you can help us save lives.
