Hot Water's Foster Info Page Or contact us ASAP about becoming a foster home at Animallover40590@aol.com Once You've Submitted an Application -If you've never worked with/adopted from a rescue group before, you may start to get anxious and wonder why it seems to take so long to hear back from us. Please know that we appreciate your patience while you wait for your application to be processed. While it may appear to be taking a long time - a representative of Hot Water Rescue will contact you as soon as they are able. Our organization is 100% staffed by volunteers who donate their time to helping these dogs while juggling full-time jobs and family responsibilities. We assure you that we are all working as hard as we can to process applications, and contact our applicants, as quickly as possible.Who We AreHot Water Rescue is a rescue that was originally formed and based out of Connecticut that now 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 in doing so we 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 focuses on the rescue of the Molosser breeds that we consider to be at most risk of overpopulation, abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The breeds that we feel most fit that category are as follows: Rottweilers, Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Cane Corso Mastiffs, Dogo (Presa) Canario's, Dogo Argentino's, and Bandogges. We never take or refuse a dog based upon age, health condition or gender as we are firm believers in rescuing without prejudice. We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization. Our goal is to grow throughout the U.S. and accumulate a large vollunteer/foster home base so that we can provide rescue, rehabilitation, and placement to dogs of the above listed breeds (mind you, you may catch dogs of other breeds listed with us as well, as we do help whomever we can, and we also do provide courtesy listings for individuals as well as shelters when our rescue's foster homes are fully occupied). 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 all dogs...especially those who are so commonly are considered to be outcast by society because of widespread misinformation broadcast by the media, and fueled by abusive and neglectful owners. Once the public can see what incredible dogs these breeds are, than the concept of breed banning would no longer exist. Read more about Hot Water Rescue here... What it means to adopt a family member!Our adoption process may be considered overly thorough, however we think that is extremely important in placing a dog in a loving, forever home...especially when dealing with the breeds that we work with. We find them to be the most amazing, loving dogs out there. Sadly though, many people who are interested in ownership of this breed don't want them for the right reasons. It is important to us that not only do the prospective owners feel a real bond and commitment to the dog being considered, but it is also important that the dog fit your lifestyle.Our goal is to have only the best quality of life for the humans and animals in the family. We have our dogs in foster homes with minimal amounts of animals, and we make it a point to really get to know everything we can about each dog. It is important for us to know their likes, dislikes, and what the appropriate lifestyle for them is so that we can match each dog with a home where an ideal bond will occur.

If you are interested in learning more about our adoption process, or have found a dog or dogs on our site that you are interested in adopting, then please feel free to email us with any questions you may have.
