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!
A huge THANK YOU to all of the many volunteers, who made it possible for us to adopt our new family member. The screening process was clearly explained, and much info was provided with the fur baby we chose. Maddie is extremely well behaved, playful, asks to go out, and curious about anything and everything - as a 4 1/2 month old puppy. Right from the start, she had no signs of stress or behavioral problems of any kind. I think this is due to the great care/love that RHR and the foster family took with Maddie, in the week before she become an important part of our family. We love Maddie and really appreciate the great work that RHR does. This rescue was suggested to us by multiple friends, and I have to agree that they are fantastic. Highly recommended!
