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:

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

We just brought our puppo Cotton home from Rhode home. Not only is she the best thing since sliced bread but the staff and volunteers at Rhode Home were clearly invested in her and loved her. She was well loved on her way to us. 10/10 would recommend.

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!

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 ��
