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:

The love Rhode home rescue has for all of the pups in their care is incredible. As a foster mom through RHR I appreciate the amazing communication, the frequent check-ins on the pups, and the willingness they have to help my family and the pups feel as comfortable as possible! Thanks for being such an amazing rescue, keep it up!�

We adopted our puppy a few days ago and she’s perfect! This rescue works tirelessly to help every pet possible. The people are wonderful, helpful and happy to answer any questions ( and I had ALOT!). Fantastic organization!

We went to the adoption event and filled out the application on the way there. We were approved for the dog we wanted, signed some paperwork and took him home that day! We have two young children and were trying to find a shelter that would adopt a small dog to us, and weren’t having much luck even though our kids are very dog savvy. RHR met our kids, let us hold the dog, did not pressure us one way or the other, and despite there being 20 or so dogs there and a bunch of families, they kept it organized, fluid and quick. We are thrilled with our new family member. You guys, these people VOLUNTEER to do this... to meet trucks of dogs at all hours of the night to take them home to foster. Most of the time multiple dogs to one foster, dogs that haven’t had it very easy and are scared and dirty and who most likely wouldn’t have lived through the shelter they were pulled from. This is grueling, heart wrenching, valuable work. Please adopt. Validate this work and give these poor things a warm bed and a full bowl of food.

I went with my sister for her to adopt a pup and we could not me happier with the outcome. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Little Sissy was so well taken care of and loved, she became an instant part of the family. She's the sweetest girl and will be living a very pampered and spoiled life! ���

I adopted Brock aka Elvis (Lab/Retriever Mix) with them. The adoption went easy and smoothly. They were very helpful and encouraging with the process. I was pre-approved with them before I went and all I had to do was to fill out a quick form via phone app. Donated via PayPal. I've had Brock for nearly a month now and he's been great. So happy with him and how everything went. Highly recommend this rescue!

RHR has been the aspect of 2016 that I am most proud of. I am so incredibly thankful that the people of this organization welcomed me into their family of furry animals and the people who love them. I have never seen such teamwork, amazing organization, dedication and an endless amount of in dying love for pups in need. I am honored and pround to be a part of this organization. They have done more than save pups lives, they gave these pups the chance to save people's lives too���

We love our Blaire and could not be happier with all our experiences at Rhode Home Rescue!
From my first interaction with Regina to the time we walked away with our adorable puppy, every person we dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and obviously extremely dedicated. We were looking at a few different pups and we were able to take our time and find the perfect doggo for our family.
Thank you so much to everyone involved! <3 <3
