Blue Waters Dog Rescue

between our dog and our volunteers creates a bond that allows people with addiction who have struggled to take care of themselves in the past. Having a purpose higher than the “I” builds self-esteem as our tribe learns to pay kindness forward by taking care of our dogs who need their love, patience and discipline. This symbiotic relationship offers an opportunity where the dog rehabilitates the foster and the foster rehabilitates the dog. While being fostered in our care, we provide the dogs with love, safe housing,veterinary care including spay/neutering and behavioral training while they await placement with their new family to ensure long term success. At Blue Waters Dog Rescue our mission and purpose is to fight for the underdog. This mission is not just words but the mantra we live by daily. People in recovery know what it’s like to be the ultimate underdog and to triumph over adversity, our rescues having come from neglect and abuse can do the same. Blue Water Dog Rescue was founded in 2016 by the President of the Board, Tiffany Skuraton. As a bully breed owner, she had a dream to change the public’s perception of this misunderstood breed, and to try to help save as many of them as possible from euthanization. Tiffany, a former addict, had founded a recovery residence called Blue Waters in 2015, believing that maintaining a clean and sober atmosphere in which to work the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is the foundation to lasting sobriety, supporting confidence, self-worth, and the motivation necessary for a healthy return to conventional living and mainstream sobriety. She took this same philosophy to animal rescue by providing a safe and healthy environment for her rescue dogs, pairing the dogs with fosters that lived at her recovery residences, thus rehabilitating them and giving them a chance to be adopted by a forever family. Since its inception, Blue Water Dog Rescue has grown into a 501 c3, and has saved the lives of over 500 animals, while providing a therapeutic outlet for residents of Blue Waters recovery houses. With your help we could do so much more.
