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:

January 29, 2019 - Thank you Rhode Home for everything you are doing to help pets in need find homes! We adopted Frankie (Formally known as Nova) last weekend and I'm sure there was a lot of behind the scenes work to get her to us! We filled out an application online and then when we arrived at adoption event all of our information was in the system and process went super smooth. Enough about logistics though! Frankie is an absolute beauty and all her health needs were up to date and she is an absolute joy to have in our home.

January 6, 2019 - This group really cares about the dogs and makes sure they are cared for before the adoption process and they make sure the family is a good fit!! The coat was reasonable considering all of the vet care that has been done for the dogs!

October 27, 2019 - Caring for them when they cannot do it for themselves I'd be willing to take one home until a home is found foresteriing would be my cup of tea plus getting them prepaid to get into a loving home

Honestly I’m not sure the right words to express just how great RHR really is. All of the volunteers are absolutely wonderful. From the start of the adoption process through the very end was a great experience. All of the volunteers are knowledgeable, caring, and took the time with me, my husband and our two young children to help us find our new fur baby. They are genuine and kind. I am so glad to have found rhode Home rescue and forever grateful for our newest family member.
