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:

We are SO happy with our rhode home experience. Our foster prior to us gave our girl such a good home and we have the best puppy now. She’s the sweetest thing and it was such a smooth process! Thank you for our new family member who has completed our family 🙂

Our puppy, now 6 months, has been an absolute blessing to our family. RHR takes such good care of their animals, and we are forever grateful to them for bringing this little girl to be adopted in RI! Here ears are perky, her personality is loud and confident, and she is the most fun lady in any room. She enjoys her puppy lesson from Modern Dog training, and her days of daycare at Bow Chika Wow Town - which both help to socialize her during this strange time we are living through with being distant from everyone. She is thriving, and so is our family all thanks to RHR! Seriously can’t say enough about the adoption process, the care of the dogs, and the flawless follow through to ensure proper adoption. We are eternally grateful!

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���

December 24, 2016 - We attended an adoption event and came home with our new puppy Stella several months ago. She is an amazing dog and we are so grateful to Rhode Home for bringing her into our lives!

January 6, 2019 - We adopted our dog from RHR 2 years ago and they were amazing! The adoption process was much easier than all the other adoption agencies in RI, and they were much nicer! They even realized after we adopted our dog that she was due for another vaccine and paid for it! At the adoption event we met amazing volunteers who recommended dog walkers and vets, which made the process of adopting a dog so much smoother! I would adopt again from RHR in a heartbeat!!
