Our Organization
Rhode Home Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization whose volunteers have many years of rescue experience. Our mission is to identify and rescue all types of dogs from overwhelmed euthanasia shelters and abusive situations and place them in secure, loving homes. We are a foster-based program, consisting of all volunteers, and have decided to branch out on our own in order to fulfill our mission.
Prior to a Rhode Home Rescue dog being adopted, each dog undergoes an examination by a veterinarian, is updated on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. At Rhode Home Rescue we firmly believe that a healthy, well trained dog is the key to the successful integration of a rescued dog and ensures a wonderful, loving companion for years to come.
The average cost to rescue a dog in 2012 was $720. Rhode Home Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization and 100% of donations and fees are used for the rescue and care of these dogs!
Since our humble beginning in 2016, RHR has enjoyed the following milestones:

I worked with this rescue during the Super Dog Adoption day and they were beyond amazing. They do so much to help save a lot of furry friends and find them forever homes! I would recommend adopting from them to any one of my friends or family! 🙂

I began fostering with RHR earlier this year, even after my first event I could tell what an amazing group of people volunteer their time to make this rescue run smoothly. Their passion is contagious and I quickly wanted to learn and help more! Fast forward a few months and I was given the opportunity to foster the sweetest, sassiest, most loving puppy ever! I fell instantly in love with her and ended up adopting her!! Nadine and the RHR team made the adoption process easy and I knew I was getting the perfect dog to fit into our family. The RHR team goes above and beyond for every dog in their care and helps find them their perfect furever homes! I am SO thankful to be apart of this wonderful team both as a volunteer AND now as an adopter!!!! Kelsey Alison

We are SO in love with our puppy! Thank you RHR for everything you guys are amazing! Not only was it an easy process to fill out an application, we heard back within the next 48 hours of applying, had a phone interview, and within the next week we got to meet our puppy. They really want to make sure each dog is going to a loving home. Our baby is so happy to be with us ��

What a wonderful experience getting our newest family member. We visited the Always Adopt event to add to our family and we found Buttercup (now Princess Buttercup :)). The rescue workers are warm, caring and helpful -- more than willing to work hard to help find a perfect match between dog and family. We did not bring our dog to the event because we were not sure what to expect. But one of the staff drove all the way out to our house so Moose could meet Buttercup. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, was very good about understanding the dogs interaction, and facilitated a great introduction. He also let us know what we could expect during the transition and assured us that Rhode Home Rescue would be there to help in anyway we might need. If you are looking for a new family member I would highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue.
