Rhode Home Rescue

Who are we?

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!

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  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!

  • 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!

  • These folks work tirelessly to care for and rehome needy dogs. They are honest, above board and they and their little charges could use and will appreciate you support.

  • I want to thank Beth for all her support with our process of adopting our new furry family member. After receiving our adoption approval letter we attended the Adoption Event on 3/11 and the process was smooth and efficient. We walked in and quickly spotted our pup Tucker We absolutely love this little guy. Thank You so much for our guy Tucker. He is really adjusting well to his new home .�

  • 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 �
