We are dedicated to saving, protecting and caring for cats and dogs while helping end euthanasia due to overcrowding. As an independent nonprofit that receives no federal, state or local funding, nor funding from national organizations, we rely on donations from our supporters to provide our care and services.
Mission and Vision
To provide compassionate care, support, and a second chance for pregnant and nursing dogs and cats, while actively working to combat overpopulation in our community. We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of these vulnerable animals, promoting responsible pet ownership, and creating a sustainable future where every animal has a loving home.
Our primary focus is on pregnant and nursing dogs and cats, recognizing the unique challenges they face and the critical care they require. We provide a safe haven where they can experience a peaceful and nurturing environment during this crucial period of their lives. Through comprehensive medical care, nutritious diets, and a team of dedicated volunteers, we strive to give them the best chance at a healthy pregnancy, successful delivery, and thriving offspring.
Alongside our commitment to pregnant and nursing animals, we are equally committed to addressing the urgent issue of overpopulation and sick/injured animals. We believe that prevention is the key to reducing the suffering of countless animals. We actively promote and facilitate spaying and neutering initiatives within our community, working collaboratively with local veterinarians and organizations to make these services accessible and affordable. By addressing overpopulation at its root, we strive to create a future where no animal is left abandoned, neglected, or euthanized due to a lack of resources or care.
We also recognize the importance of education and outreach in achieving our goals. Through community engagement we aim to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership, the benefits of spaying and neutering, and the value of adoption. By empowering individuals with knowledge and understanding, we hope to foster a culture of compassion and empathy towards animals, creating a society where every dog and cat is cherished as a beloved member of a forever family.
With unwavering dedication, compassion, and a collaborative approach, HDBnQ Rescue strives to make a lasting impact on the lives of pregnant and nursing dogs and cats, while actively working towards ending overpopulation. Together, we can build a future where every animal is given a chance to thrive, where love and care are abundant, and where the bond between humans and animals is celebrated and cherished.

Get your dog the safe enrichment they need by renting a Sniffspot

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
