Rhode Home Rescue specializes in rescuing dogs from unhealthy situations – be it kill shelters, incapable owners, and surrenders – and finding them the furever homes they deserve. At Rhode Home, we fully believe that adopting a rescue not only save them, but saves you too!
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!
Volunteers are our forgotten heros! Everyday, these wonderful souls pickup pooches from transport, take them to appointments, and help us with events!
Since our inception in February 2016, we′ve been able to assist and find furever homes for so many dogs!
Rhode Home Rescue depends on public support! Since our founding, we′ve been able to rescue and support our animals through the kindness of you!
Our programs unite the public with our dogs, bringing awareness to the state while promoting our four legged friends!
RHR is a very unique group of people. They are doing something extremely wonderful saving the lives of all these beautiful, healthy, friendly dog's whom where destine to be destroyed. Please see what they have to offer before you shop because adopting your new pet is much more rewarding and RHR are the one to see.We have the pleasure to announce the adoption of lil Toby, he's such a cute lil guy and just so so friendly we love this lil dog very much and he has found his forever home with us. We are very excited to bring him home...Thank you RHR for being there....
I adopted for the first time ever through this rescue and it was a great experience!
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 decided to foster for super dog back in October for a Shepadoodle named Milly! I ended up being a furever foster! This organization is amazing, very well organized, and everyone was so friendly! Milly has become part of our family and makes us laugh everyday! So glad I decided to foster!

Nicole BarronRhode Home Rescue is an amazing shelter! My fiancé and I got our wonderful dog, Sally, from them back in August. Being my first dog, I had a ton of questions which Dina was all too happy to answer. She also put be in contact with Linda our dog trainer who did a great job helping us train her. I am so grateful for all Rhode Home Rescue did in getting me Sally!
5 star experience from start to finish!
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
We love Rhode Home Rescue. They go above and beyond for the dog. Thanks Nadine and Stacy for saving so many.
Rhode Home Rescue is amazing because the people who work there care so much for the dogs they rescue. I think the environment they create for dogs is a huge part of their success in a home transition. I have rescued from there and would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt!
Nicole MariaRHR is absolutely amazing. Because of them, we have found the sweetest fur baby to complete our family. This was our first time adopting and it was such a wonderful experience. RHR was so helpful and caring throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better organization. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, RHR �
