Maybe, but foam usually means rabies
No, it does not. Many dogs have foamy saliva and profuse drooling and are in the best of health.
Foam is air mixed with saliva There are two kinds of saliva: an aqueous form, and a thicker, mucus type. When a dog has a seizure, it's breathing speeds up, it usually salivates (both types) profusely from the nervous stimulation which is producing the seizure. This and the chomping seizure activity mixes the respiratory air with the saliva and it appears foamy.
Dogs pant when their body temperatures rise. Since they have no sweat glands as we do, they cool themselves by passing air over their tongues. Panting increases the airflow over it and hopefully, if it's wet, the air will evaporate the moisture from the tongue and thereby cool it, a bit. On hot summer days, when the humidity is high, most animals that rely on some degree of evaporation to help cool themselves suffer. We think it's muggy, and sweat profusely, but little of it evaporates and we stay uncomfortable. A dog is just as bothered by high humidity as we are.

What would make a dog foam at the mouth in hot weather with plenty of water to drink?
If the the dog is foaming at the mouth, but otherwise has enough water, it may be simply due to exertion. If the dog has been running and playing, they may foam at the mouth even if they have plenty of water. This is just the dog's natural air conditioning system at work. If the dog has not been playing hard, it may be a sign of injury or illness. It is not always rabies, many conditions both major and minor, can cause foaming at the mouth. This can also be a sign of anxiety. You will have to watch your dog for other signs of illness to rule it out. If in doubt, take your animal to the vet.
