Our Reviews

  • Our family lost our fur baby in May due to cancer. We were all heartbroken especially my son. We had tried a bunch of rescues with alot of disappointments. Either they wanted us to pay before we even had a meet and greet or no response. A few of our friends told us about Rhode Home Rescue. They were amazing!!! Their mission is to help all dogs. They even brought a pack n play to me because we needed one for an outing. Then told me to give to someone who needed it when I was done. The smile on my son's face when laying down or playing with her melts my heart. I am so grateful we dealt with this rescue! WE LOVE RHR!❤❤❤❤❤

  • positive review  We are so excited to welcome Fred into our home. He is such a sweet pup. The process was so fast. I still haven’t heard from other pet adoption agencies that I applied to weeks ago. The staff at Rhode Home Rescue are professional and friendly. So glad we chose to adopt.

  • 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. 🙂

  • Rhode Home Rescue is an amazing shelter! My fiancé and I got our wonderful dog, Sally, from them back in August. Being my first dog, I had a ton of questions which Dina was all too happy to answer. She also put be in contact with Linda our dog trainer who did a great job helping us train her. I am so grateful for all Rhode Home Rescue did in getting me Sally!

  • We adopted our puppy this past weekend. They were fast with the application process and efficient at the meet up and adoption event. Also helpful with as much info as they had. Please adopt don’t shop!

  • positive review  We adopted our dog from RHR 2 years ago and they were amazing! The adoption process was much easier than all the other adoption agencies in RI, and they were much nicer! They even realized after we adopted our dog that she was due for another vaccine and paid for it! At the adoption event we met amazing volunteers who recommended dog walkers and vets, which made the process of adopting a dog so much smoother! I would adopt again from RHR in a heartbeat!!

  • 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.

  • Rhode Home Rescue was thorough and timely. They understand what it is like to be on the adoption end of the process, while still keeping the dog's best interest at heart. Every volunteer who worked with us, gave the impression that they wanted to get these dogs adopted out. I would highly recommend this rescue.
