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:

  • positive review  This group really cares about the dogs and makes sure they are cared for before the adoption process and they make sure the family is a good fit!! The coat was reasonable considering all of the vet care that has been done for the dogs!

  • RHR 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 �

  • Volunteering at RHR really helped me make a difference. By giving these pups a good home, I gain experience for when I am going to be a Veterinary Assistant. The best part at each adoption event is knowing their personalities by studying the behaviors and making to friends. 🙂

  • positive review  I just want to say that we are so happy with our decision to rescue a puppy from Rhode Home Rescue. We adopted Axl a week ago and he has brought so much joy to our home. He is an amazing puppy. We couldn’t be happier. The application process was so easy and the volunteers are amazing. Thank you, Jamie, Melina & Axl
