RHR has been incredible to work with! This was our first foray into adopting and rescuing a new pet and it was absolutely awesome! From the start, my inquiry email, all the way through picking up our newest fella, they were just terrific to work with and communicate with! I would recommend them highly and frequently! (in fact, I have! two of our friends are in the process of adopting now too!) Saving this puppy's life has been a gift beyond measure and partnering with RHR to get that done was the best decision we made! Thank you, RHR ... thank you! <3
I have been a foster mom for Rhode Home Rescue for the past year. I am so grateful that I applied to this organization to foster. Everyone involved is so dedicated and devoted to every dog in their care. They make sure they find the perfect fit for each dog. I love helping out and making a difference in a dog’s life. Although it is hard to give up a pup that I have grown attached to, I know in my heart that RHR has worked hard to find each pup a wonderful “furever” home! If you are considering fostering, this is the Rescue group to apply to!
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!!
What a wonderful experience getting our newest family member. We visited the Always Adopt event to add to our family and we found Buttercup (now Princess Buttercup :)). The rescue workers are warm, caring and helpful -- more than willing to work hard to help find a perfect match between dog and family. We did not bring our dog to the event because we were not sure what to expect. But one of the staff drove all the way out to our house so Moose could meet Buttercup. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, was very good about understanding the dogs interaction, and facilitated a great introduction. He also let us know what we could expect during the transition and assured us that Rhode Home Rescue would be there to help in anyway we might need. If you are looking for a new family member I would highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue.
We went to the adoption event and filled out the application on the way there. We were approved for the dog we wanted, signed some paperwork and took him home that day! We have two young children and were trying to find a shelter that would adopt a small dog to us, and weren’t having much luck even though our kids are very dog savvy. RHR met our kids, let us hold the dog, did not pressure us one way or the other, and despite there being 20 or so dogs there and a bunch of families, they kept it organized, fluid and quick. We are thrilled with our new family member. You guys, these people VOLUNTEER to do this... to meet trucks of dogs at all hours of the night to take them home to foster. Most of the time multiple dogs to one foster, dogs that haven’t had it very easy and are scared and dirty and who most likely wouldn’t have lived through the shelter they were pulled from. This is grueling, heart wrenching, valuable work. Please adopt. Validate this work and give these poor things a warm bed and a full bowl of food.
Rhode Home Rescue TRULY cares about saving animals and finding them their perfect home. When I submitted an application and started the process, it was a seamless process and experience. I have had my best friend since August and I can’t thank you folks enough for what you do!
