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 just adopted our Kaia and she is such a lovebug! She’s the perfect addition to our family! Rhode home was so awesome and well organized and helpful. Her foster was super nice and we even got a cute little starter kit with toys and treats. I would highly recommend adopting from them!

August 8, 2019 - Their patience, compassion and dedication to the animals is remarkable. They worked long hours - striving to find each dog the perfect home ? since working with them I have learned all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes with a rescue. I also go home everyday and give my dogs some extra hugs?

July 16, 2019 - 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!

December 5, 2020 - RHR is perfect at matching dogs with their furever home. All the pups are very loved and well taken care of in their care. Our adopted pup came with great training and they were there to help us along the way!

Rhode Home Rescue is a top notch Pet Adoption Agency. We recently adopted a beautiful Black Female Pomeranian, originally named Raven, now called Lily. We were very fortunate to have been contacted by our wonderful RHR Volunteers Julie P. and Raven's/Lily's foster mom, Shelli-Rose, who both made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. We are very lucky to have Lily in our home with our other Pomeranians Rocky II and Randy. furever grateful, Suzanne and Paul Walker

June 19, 2024 - 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.

March 23, 2019 - Rhode Home Rescue is the best! I recently adopted my little guy Sid from there and I could not be more appreciative of them for bringing him into my life. Everyone was so helpful but Hillary in particular deserves a huge shout out for all of her help! I definitely recommend Rhode Home Rescue to anyone looking to adopt a dog.
