JUPdog was founded as a direct result of our deep love of animals and a desire to give back to the community in a way that is fulfilling to us as well as impactful to the rescue organization we support.

We moved to Florida permanently in September of 2017 after 4 years of owning a home in the Bluffs. We came from Boston and we both immediately felt at home in Jupiter and wanted to find a way to get involved in the community. Carrie works 100% at home for a consulting company in Chicago, but Kevin was looking to get out of the corporate world and try something new. That’s when JUPdog was born and after doing some research and learning more about the local rescue groups we chose Furry Friends as the recipient of 10% of our sales every quarter. We could not have made a better choice. Pat Deshong, Karen Counts and the rest of the crew from Furry Friends Adoption, Clinic and Ranch of Jupiter, FL have made us feel like family and we feel 100% confident about supporting their mission and helping to plan their annual Hang 20 Surf Dog Classic Fundraiser.

We have an 8-year-old Min Pin mix named Jetty, he was adopted from a rescue in MA. Our youngest son, who lives with us, rescued an 8-month-old Boston Terrier mix puppy from Furry Friends. He is now 2 years old and his name is Poe. Our whole family loves dogs and especially rescue dogs. There is no better feeling than rescuing a dog from a shelter and making our home their forever home.
