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!
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!

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!
I adopted for the first time ever through this rescue and it was a great experience!
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
There are the best dog rescue around with the nicest people! Wouldn't go anywhere else to adopt a dog and recommend them to everyone I know. ���
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!
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 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!!

We adopted our new Chihuahua Daisy (previously cheese). I haven’t ever worked with such an organized and thorough rescue. They wouldn’t event take extra money for adoption fee!
She’s a true blessing and in great health. We are so grateful
