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!
About us
Find out who we are and what we do
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!

What People Say
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.
I never imagined feeling so supported throughout the adoption process and beyond. RHR is professional, honest and extremely helpful, and proves to only want the best for the dogs that go through their care. I would recommend RHR to anyone seriously interested in rescue/adoption.
We adopted our puppy a few days ago and she’s perfect! This rescue works tirelessly to help every pet possible. The people are wonderful, helpful and happy to answer any questions ( and I had ALOT!). Fantastic organization!
Had a great experience with this rescue at an adoption event. Helpful and caring volunteers!! Thank you all!
This rescue is great! They made everything easy and comfortable for me, in the adoption process. So happy I was able to scoop my baby Gizmo! �

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.

Rhode Home Rescue is the best! I recently adopted my little guy Sid from there and I could not be more appreciative of them for bringing him into my life. Everyone was so helpful but Hillary in particular deserves a huge shout out for all of her help! I definitely recommend Rhode Home Rescue to anyone looking to adopt a dog.
