🐾 We're Not Just Another Rescue. 🐾
Most rescues save one life at a time. We save two. Our rescued dogs live alongside people recovering from addiction, giving each other the love, purpose, and second chances they both deserve.
Blue Waters Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs across Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. We take the dogs others pass up: seniors, dogs with medical needs, and dogs labeled "unadoptable." Everyone deserves a second chance, a home, and the chance to know love.
Many of our dogs are seniors who need extra medical care, medication, and patience. Some will stay with us for the rest of their lives. Whether they're waiting for a forever home or enjoying their golden years, every dog lives in a real home, never a kennel.
Our dogs live in recovery homes run by our partner, Blue Waters Recovery Foundation, alongside men and women in recovery from addiction. Residents are pre-screened and supported by care coordinators and trainers. The dogs get a safe, loving home, and the residents get companionship, responsibility, and purpose. Together, they learn that real love is unconditional.
✅ 22 dogs and 6 cats paired with residents in recovery
✅ 8 litters of TNR kittens rescued off the street and cared for by our residents
We run entirely on donations. Senior and special-needs dogs are our biggest expense. Last year, vet care alone cost $27,000.
✅ $25 buys one month of heartworm and flea prevention
✅ $50 buys supplements to keep a senior dog comfortable
✅ $75 buys a month of limited-ingredient food for a sensitive pup
✅ $100 buys a month of prescription food for a special-needs dog
✅ $300 pays for spay or neuter surgery for a rescue dog
✅ $325 pays for a full yearly checkup with exam, vaccines and tests
Your gift covers food, medicine, vet care, and comfort for dogs who'd otherwise be overlooked, so they can find love and help someone else find their second chance too.
👉 Give today. Change two lives at once. 💙
Blue Waters Dog Rescue rescues and rehabilitates dogs in need and finds them loving forever homes. Our dogs live in sober living homes with people in recovery from addiction, where both find comfort, purpose, and a reminder that real love is unconditional.
