We are a resting stop for animals saved from bad situations until a forever home is found. All dogs are being fostered by clients in Blue Waters Recovery House that provides a safe haven for clients to recovery in dignity, to build a solid foundation, and enhance their relationship with God. Blue Waters Dog Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing large dogs, with a special emphasis on misunderstood breeds like pit bulls. Blue Water Dog Rescue is unique in that it pairs its dogs with fosters and volunteers who are in recovery from drugs and alcohol, thereby allowing the people with addiction who have struggled to take care of themselves in the past build self-esteem, as they learn to take care of something else that needs their love, patience, and discipline- and in turn, dogs who come from complicated backgrounds and have been victims of abuse and neglect, serve a therapeutic purpose with their caretakers- thereby the dog rehabilitates the foster and the foster rehabilitates the dog. While in our care, we provide the dogs with housing, caring fosters, veterinary care including spay and neuter in order to control the pet population, and training to make them more adoptable while they await placement with an adoptive family. We believe in fighting for the underdog, because we as addicts in recovery know what it’s like to be the ultimate underdog and to triumph over adversity, and believe that our rescues having come from neglect and abuse can do the same.
