Adoption fees help cover the medical care of our rescues while they wait for their furever home, as well as food, transportation costs, and pull fees. These fees also help to provide care for the other dogs who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the Rhode Home Rescue to continue our efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
