RHR's Latest News!

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better🎶 Meet our little buddy Jude! He was found in Pawtucket emaciated and matted, with pee stained fur. Based on his condition it seemed like Jude was kept in a crate and almost starved. He was all ribs and bony but has gained over 3lbs since leaving the shelter and is up to date on shots and ready to find his forever home!! Despite Jude’s background, Jude loves everyone he meets! He absolutely adores other dogs and his ideal home would be with a dog who’s willing to play with him (unlike the ornery old chihuahuas in his foster home)! Jude’s great with all humans and animals, though loves cats a little too much but could learn to leave them be! Jude is about to 12lbs but should gain a little more! He is a shihtzu/lhasa mix (we think) and he’s around 2-3 years old! He would make any adopter super happy, as long as he has another dog to play with... if he doesn’t, prepare to entertain a shihtzu with a personality of a toddler! In all seriousness, Jude has the best personality and cannot wait til he finds his forever home!

Personal space? Pepe has never heard of her. 😂❤️ If you’ve ever thought, “I wish my dog wanted to be literally inside of me at all times,” congratulations — Pepe is your guy. 🐾 This 10 month old lovebug is the definition of a Velcro dog. Your shadow? Pepe. Your bathroom supervisor? Pepe. Your cuddle buddy? Pepe. Someone making sure you never experience a single moment alone ever again? You guessed it… Pepe. 😂 Pepe LOVES his people and isn’t shy about showing it. He gives hugs, hands out kisses, and has a serious case of FOMO — if something is happening, he would very much like to be involved. He’s also quite the conversationalist and will happily give you his opinion when he feels it needs to be heard. 🗣️😂 And he’s got plenty more going for him: 🐾 About 10 months old & approximately 50 lbs 🐶 Good with other dogs 👧 Has done well with kids 🐱 May try to play chase with cats 🚗 Great in the car 😴 Crate trained & sleeps through the night without accidents 🏠 Doing great with potty training when kept on schedule 🦴 LOVES chew toys…or really anything he thinks could become a chew toy 🦮 Does okay on leash but still needs some practice 💋 Professional hugger, kisser & shadow Pepe is goofy, affectionate, playful and absolutely overflowing with personality. He’s looking for someone who doesn’t just tolerate a clingy dog — they want one. Because Pepe isn’t looking

Lyndee needs a forever home! 💕🐾 This sweet 7-month-old Pittie/Hound mix is still waiting for her forever family! Lyndee is a happy, adventurous girl who thinks life is meant for playing, exploring, and loving her people as much as possible. Whether she’s zooming around the backyard, romping with her dog friends, or tagging along on an adventure, Lyndee is always ready for fun! She’s social, affectionate, playful, and full of puppy charm. 🥰 Lyndee and her sisters had a tough start after being found in a crowded southern shelter, but this resilient girl hasn’t let her past slow her down. During her veterinary workup, she was found to have some orthopedic differences in her lower back and right leg that occurred before she entered rescue. Her veterinarian does not recommend surgery, and Lyndee continues to thrive as the happy, active puppy she is. She may always have a slightly unique gait, but she certainly doesn’t let that stop her! ❤️ Like any young pup, Lyndee is still learning and will need a family ready to continue her training and help her grow into her best self. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine sibling to play with, but she’s also perfectly happy soaking up all the love from her humans. After everything she’s been through, Lyndee is ready for the best chapter yet: a forever family to love, adventures to share, and a lifetime of happiness. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for?

Biscuit is still waiting patiently for her forever home! 🍎🐾

At 7 years old and around 20 lbs., this adorable Corgi girl may be little, but she has a BIG personality! Biscuit is energetic, playful, and always ready to zoom around and have some fun. Give her some toys and she’ll happily entertain herself (and you!) all day long. 🧸💨

Biscuit is looking for an adult-only home with a fenced yard where she can run, play, and let her Corgi zoomies loose! She also wants to be your one and only pet — no other animals, please. Biscuit doesn’t want to share your love because she plans to be the apple of your eye! 🍎❤️

Seven years old, 20 pounds, and ready to be someone’s whole world… could that someone be you?

🌙 Meet Moonpie! 🍪 This sweet 6-year-old boy is still waiting for someone to see just how special he is. ❤️ Moonpie is a loyal, kissy, treat-loving little guy who is housebroken and absolutely loves the good things in life—rolling in the grass, wading into the lake, car rides, and snuggling up with his beloved Lambchop. 🥹 At home, Moonpie is relatively chill once his energy needs are met. He’s a good listener, enjoys affection on his terms, and is a wonderful companion. He’s also still an active boy who enjoys his walks and would love a fenced yard where he can safely run and play. Moonpie does have some big feelings on walks and needs an adopter who understands his behavior and is committed to continuing his training. He can react to people and moving vehicles by, and he likes to make sure everyone knows he’s on neighborhood watch from the window, too! 😂 Because of this, Moonpie is looking for a calm, adult-only home with no other pets and a fenced yard. An experienced adopter who can give him structure, patience, and consistency would be the perfect match for this little self-appointed protector. 🐾 Could you be the forever family Moonpie has been waiting for? 🌙❤️ #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #AdoptMoonpie #RescueDogsOfRhodeIsland #ForeverHome

Meet Mika, our girl with the best ears! 🐾💗

Beautiful, smart, affectionate, and full of classic German Shepherd traits, 8-month-old Mika is already 60 lbs of pure personality! She’s curious, active, a little stubborn, and isn’t afraid to bark when she has something to say. 😂

But underneath that big personality is an absolute sweetheart who loves belly rubs, gives kisses, and has been a wonderful house guest in her foster home. 🥰

Mika would thrive with an active family ready to keep her busy both physically and mentally. German Shepherd experience is preferred for this smart, energetic girl!

Could Mika be your new best friend? ❤️ Apply for her today!

Landee is waiting for her forever home! 💛

If we had to describe this 7-month-old brindle beauty in three words, they’d be: goofball, sweetheart, and smart!

Landee is house trained, crate trained, learning her puppy manners, and settling beautifully into foster life. She loves walks, making new dog friends, zooming around the house (brakes are still a work in progress 😂), and, of course, cuddling up with her people afterward.

And her kisses? She doesn’t lick—she gently presses her lips to yours! 🥹💋

Landee is ready to find her forever family. Could that be you? ❤️

✨ MOMMA BELL: A TRUE ICON ✨ The looks? Impeccable. 💅 The smile? Unforgettable. 😁 The personality? Somehow even better. 💗 Momma Bell can pull off just about any look, but what makes this girl truly iconic is the heart underneath it all. She’s been through more than any dog should have to endure. After being hit by a car while pregnant and tragically losing her babies, Momma Bell still chose to keep smiling. She still loves her people, gets excited for adventures, plays with her toys, and lives every day with that big, goofy personality we love so much. 🥹❤️ Now, this leading lady is ready for the one thing her wardrobe is missing: a home of her own. 🏡 Momma Bell is currently seeking a foster OR adopter where she can be the only dog in the home and soak up all the attention for herself — as any true icon should. 👑🐾 She’s playful, smart, active, affectionate, and SO ready to trade boarding for a couch, a routine, and people to call her own. She’s survived the hard part. Now we just need someone to give her the happily-ever-after she deserves. 💕 ✨ Foster Momma Bell: rhodehomerescue.org/foster 💗 Adopt Momma Bell: rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form Please SHARE and help our girl finally get out of boarding! 🐾 #RhodeHomeRescue #Adopt #foster #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog
