In our care

Why your gift matters

Since 2015, Blue Waters Dog Rescue has cared for dogs in South Florida. We care for 10 to 16 rescue dogs at a time. A monthly gift of $19 helps us plan ahead and keep up the everyday care our dogs need.

Where your $19 goes: food for every dog in our care, every day; vaccines to keep them protected; heartworm prevention every single month; and vet care when they are sick or hurt.

Before adoption, our dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoption fees are typically between $200 and $400. Blue Waters Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 81-3752060). Gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

The giving day

How Give Miami Day works

What is Give Miami Day?

A 24-hour online giving day hosted by The Miami Foundation. 2026 is its 15th year. Thousands of local nonprofits raise money from the community on the same day.

Can I give early?

Yes. Early giving runs Saturday, November 14 through Wednesday, November 18, and early gifts count toward Give Miami Day. Giving on the day itself is open until midnight ET on Thursday, November 19.

Is my gift tax deductible?

Blue Waters Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 81-3752060). Gifts may be tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will get a receipt from the Give Miami Day platform. Consult your tax advisor for your situation.

Why give through this link instead of our regular Donate page?

Gifts only count toward Give Miami Day when they go through our official Give Miami Day profile. That helps us show up on the day's leaderboards and qualify for anything extra the day offers. Any other time of year, our Donate page works great, including gifts of $19 a month.
