Founder & Executive Director | Visionary. Disruptor. Dog Devotee.
Susan Joseph doesn’t just run a rescue—she leads a movement.
Backed by years of business experience and a no-BS mindset, Susan launched The Hotel for Homeless Dogs to raise the bar in animal rescue. While most shelters settle for survival, she built a five-star refuge for dogs discarded by a broken system—and finally gave them what they deserve: dignity, comfort, and a real chance.
Her leadership is unapologetically bold, her expectations are sky-high, and her loyalty is unmatched—especially when it comes to her favorite breed: the misunderstood, magnificent pit bull.
Under Susan’s guidance, The Hotel has become one of the most unique and effective animal care models in the country, setting a new standard for rescue. She’s not here to play by the old rules—she’s here to break them, rebuild them, and save as many lives as possible along the way
