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.

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.

After dealing with 2 other agencies for about 2 months, with no results and a lot of time wasted I applied for a dog at RHR and adopted a wonderful, just what I wanted, little guy the very next. Everyone was so friendly and helpful , a pleasure to deal with. Very informative, answered all my questions I would recommend RHR to anyone wanted to adopt a pet. And the little "goodie" bag they sent home with Lucky was a wonderful additional touch. Thank you so much.

I don't think there are enough words to describe my experience with RHR but, here a few, amazing, phenomenal and understanding. We adopted two puppies this weekend. Duke who is full of energy and spunk and Kira who is a ball of mush and love. Hillary, Dukes foster mom was also amazing. She and RHR answered all of our questions and responded to emails promptly. I would highly recommend adopting or fostering your puppy through RHR.
