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:

Great people to work with...adopted Arthur the last of 5 brothers, great dog, calm and just chill. Think we will be calling him King Arthur the way he's getting spoiled! Thank you for everything you do Rhode Home Rescue!

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. Thomas Dufresne

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.

February 29, 2020 - My family adopted from Rhode Home Rescue, and our experience was absolutely wonderful! Throughout the entire application process, the volunteers at the rescue could not have been more helpful. Upon our awaited meeting day, the volunteers as well as the foster family were so extremely kind with the whole process. My family would absolutely recommend this rescue to anyone looking to add a furry addition to their home!
Pictured is our first dog, a 5 year old male black lab named Simba. Our newest addition (5 months when we got her, now 8 months old), a female boxer terrier mix named Nala.

December 5, 2020 - We adopted our new Chihuahua Daisy (previously cheese). I haven’t ever worked with such an organized and thorough rescue. They wouldn’t event take extra money for adoption fee!
She’s a true blessing and in great health. We are so grateful

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 ��

I never imagined feeling so supported throughout the adoption process and beyond. RHR is professional, honest and extremely helpful, and proves to only want the best for the dogs that go through their care. I would recommend RHR to anyone seriously interested in rescue/adoption.

Loved working with Rhode Home Rescue! They ensured I had a good home to adopt my baby girl Zena into and made the adoption process simple and quick! Zena thanks you more than I do for being a great organization to work with!
