JAQUAVIAN LEVONTA DEVOL arrested after a dead snake and a starved dog were found in a Wellington home

- Florida, USA -


The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrested 21-YEAR-OLD JAQUAVIAN LEVONTA DEVOL (pictured).


According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on April 28, 2025, a deputy responded to a home on 2524 Stonegate Drive in Wellington to assist with the execution of a search warrant.


The deputy reported that upon searching the home, he discovered a deceased snake in a terrarium and in the garage confined in cage was a small male gray Pitbull. The cage was covered with dried feces and there was no food or water for the dog.

The deputy saw some dog food bags which were old and empty. According to the deputy, the Pitbull was “very thin” with his spine, ribs, and hips showing.


It was determined that the dog and the snake were DEVOL's. He told the deputy that when he was given the snake, the animal was already dead and that “he was waiting for the snake to decompose so he could have the skeleton.”


Palm Beach County Animal Control responded to the scene and noticed that there was no food or water for the snake inside the terrarium.


DEVIL, oops, excuse me, DEVOL was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. At the time of writing, records show he is still in custody.


On April 30, 2025, DEVOL was arraigned on two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty for the cruel and unnecessary pain and suffering inflicted on the snake’s death and the Pitbull, one felony count of animal cruelty for depriving the Pitbull of necessary sustenance and shelter, and one felony count of confinement of animals for confining the Pitbull in a cage without adequate food and water.

DEVOL pled not guilty to all charges. He is expected back at Palm Beach Circuit Court on May 28, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.

REWARD offered for information leading to the arrest of the evil individual(s) responsible for the severe abuse of a dog

- Florida, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains pictures that may not be suitable for everyone. Viewer discretion is advised.⚠️


On April 3, 2025, a female dog who was extremely emaciated and severely abused was found in the 4500 block of Northwest 36th Street in Lauderdale Lakes. The concerned citizen who found the dog called for help and an officer with Broward County Animal Care and Adoption Division picked her up and took her to Big Dog Ranch Rescue.


The rescue is now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the monster(s) responsible for the dog’s neglect.


Big Dog Ranch Rescue shared pictures of the furvictim, a black Giant Schnauzer whom they refer to as Bibi.

BiBi was severely emaciated to the extent that she could not even stand or walk without help. The sweet soul was suffering from multiple injuries, including broken ribs, damage to her spine and hips.


In the heartbreaking video published on their Facebook page, Big Dog Ranch Rescue said: “This was no accident. This was animal cruelty”.


In an update posted on April 10, 2025, the rescue said: “BiBi has just had her first haircut, and what we uncovered beneath her fur is even more heartbreaking. Her emaciated body is now fully visible, with her bones jutting out, a painful reminder of the neglect her 1 year old self has been through. If we hadn’t gotten to BiBi when we did… she likely wouldn’t have made it through the night. That’s how close she was to the edge. It’s a thought that’s hard to shake. This miracle girl has been through the unthinkable—and now we need to make sure she never feels that kind of pain again. 🤍”


The rescue is working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to find the monster(s) responsible.

Anyone with information related to this case is urged to come forward and speak up. Please, contact Big Dog Ranch Rescue at (561) - 791 - 6465 or Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) - 493 - 8477. Thank you!

JENNIFER JEANETTE MEEKS, former Rover sitter, facing charges after a dog in her care had to be treated for puncture wounds and an infection on his neck

Updated: Feb 20

- Florida, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains pictures some of you may find distressing⚠️


39-year-old JENNIFER JEANETTE MEEKS (pictured) is facing charges after a dog in her care had to be treated for puncture wounds and an infection on his neck.


According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on September 15, 2024, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control received a complaint of animal cruelty from Brian Millard who had boarded his dog, a 10-year-old Belgium Malinois named Abel, with a sitter from Rover.


Officer Bullock responded to Calusa Veterinary Center where Abel was under sedation. The officer reported that multiple punctures wounds were clearly visible on Abel’s neck. He then spoke with the veterinarian on duty, Dr. Fryer, who explained that the puncture wounds “were consistent with the use of a prong collar.” Dr. Fryer said Abel had a severe infection covering the entire affected area of his neck.

Dr. Fryer estimated, based on the appearance and odor of the wounds, that they had likely occurred more than three days prior.


Officer Bullock called Mr. Millard and they met at the vet's office, where the officer took Mr. Millard's statement.

Mr. Millard explained that his family was in the process of selling their home and they were temporarily staying at an Airbnb. Since dogs were not allowed, they needed to find boarding for their two dogs.

The Millards then reached out to the Rover application and selected MEEKS.


They dropped off the dogs on September 2, 2024, and planned to pick them up on October 11, 2024.

However, on September 15, MEEKS called Mr. Millard and told him that Abel had puncture wounds on his neck. Mr. Millard showed officer Bullock Abel’s prong collar and said that he had told MEEKS it was to be used for walks only and then removed. Mr. Millard also believed that Abel was tethered while still wearing the prong collar and his injuries were the result of Abel trying to break free as he does not like to be tethered.

Mr. Millard then concluded that after MEEKS called him, he immediately went to pick up his dogs and took Abel to the vet.


On September 20, 2024, officer Bullock met with MEEKS at her home on 22226 SW 62nd Avenue in Boca Raton and advised her that there were two complaints against her. One was an anonymous complaint about her abusing dogs.


Officer Bullock then asked MEEKS what happened to Abel.

MEEKS confirmed when Mr. Millard dropped off his dogs and that he told her to not use the prong collar on Abel except for during his walks.

MEEKS told the officer that she did not understand why Mr. Millard did not remove the collar himself and that after two weeks into the job, she noticed Abel’s neck was swollen and there was a bad smell coming from the neck. She added that at no time was Abel tethered.


Officer Bullock informed MEEKS that she would probably receive a visit from the Licensing and Enforcement department because she was boarding without a permit. She blamed Rover for not telling her and officer Bullock rightfully said that it was her responsibility.


Following an investigation, MEEKS was arrested on February 11, 2025, and was charged with one felony count of animal cruelty. She was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and released after posting a $5,000 bail. Court records show that MEEKS’ arraignment is set to take place on March 20, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.


MEEKS’ Rover account has since been suspended.
