What is Hot Water Rescue?
Hot Water Rescue is a rescue group formed and based out of Connecticut that rescues, fosters, and places dogs all over the United States. The reason Hot Water Rescue came together as the organization it is today is because we are all people who have worked with many dogs in different capacities, and learned of the injustices done to dogs all over, especially certain breeds, which happen to be the breeds that people tend to question.
Hot Water Rescue never takes or refuses a dog based upon breed, age, health condition or gender as we are firm believers in rescuing without prejudice. Because of this, we have ended up working with and specializing in dogs that are either commonly looked over, or breeds that take extra caution to place as they tend to cater to people who don't see them for the loving, intelligent dogs that they truly are.
We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization and our immediate goal is to open our first shelter in Connecticut. From there, we will move on to opening more shelters nationwide as soon as the funding is available. Our shelters will be run with many volunteers where dogs will properly be rehabilitated and get the confidence work that many of them need. We see that not only is a temporary habitat necessary, but play, love, and training is also needed. We will also be equipped with a maternity ward, as that is something that is greatly needed, at least for us given that we have waiting lists for pregnant dogs and nursing moms, and often have to turn majority of them down due to lack of space in foster homes.
Another huge focus of our rescue is also largely based upon education. Rescues can help save the lives of animals which is obviously very important, however the real way to end the suffering and homelessness of animals is through education and legislation. Our goal is not only to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome misplaced and/or mistreated animals, but it is also to change the way our society as a whole views dogs regardless of breed.
