  • Great people to work with...adopted Arthur the last of 5 brothers, great dog, calm and just chill. Think we will be calling him King Arthur the way he's getting spoiled! Thank you for everything you do Rhode Home Rescue!

  • positive review  This group really cares about the dogs and makes sure they are cared for before the adoption process and they make sure the family is a good fit!! The coat was reasonable considering all of the vet care that has been done for the dogs!

  • I had the best experience adopting my Cody! People were concerned because he was a nipper! I am happy to say we have not had an issue with any of my family and friends. The volunteers are genuinely concerned that it be the right match. Thank you so much for my new BFF🌹❤️

  • 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.

  • positive review  Rhode Home Rescue is an amazing non profit organization staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers. Rhode Home has helped countless dogs find their furever home. They have brought the joy of dog companionship to so many families while rescuing pups from horrible situations. If you are even considering getting a dog, I highly encourage you to attend one of Rhode Home Rescue’s many events throughout Rhode Island. You will find the furfect dog for your family. Thank you Rhode Home Rescue for all that you do!

  • Met an adoptable dog on a Wednesday when she was with her current Foster. Contacted Rhode Home Rescue and immediately applied for adoption. Here I am Saturday night with a little nugget. Quick, professional and charismatic. Everyone I dealt with that was part of Rhode Home Rescue was delightful. There was a dog adoption event (where we actually got to take her home) this morning from 11-2. It was about 95 degrees out and humid. These volunteers were giving every ounce of love and energy they had to potential parents and the dogs. It was pretty awesome. I am thankful for a pleasant experience from beginning to end.

  • positive review  I attended one of their local adoption events just to lend an extra hand by volunteering and ended up going home with my new best friend unexpectedly ? I highly recommend them as they truly do care for every animal they help. Say hello to my happy and healthy baby Laila! (Originally pixie)

  • We adopted our wonderful puppy Molly last week from this organization. I can't say enough good things about them! We had been trying to adopt for awhile but we couldn't find the right dog in local shelters and many of the rescue organizations either felt like puppy mills in disguise or were horribly disorganized or rude. Not these guys! They are thorough and the wonderful volunteers do everything they can to make sure the dogs go to good homes but unlike other rescues we communicated with did not pressure us into adopting right away or adopting a particular dog and we didnt feel judged at all. I love how once you are approved, you are able to look for the right dog for 6 months instead of committing to a dog you've never met and being told you can only meet them if you bring them home that day. They didn't pressure us at all and to be honest that made all the difference. We fell in love with Molly and her foster was wonderful. The woman who conducted our interview and home inspection was really great too and we owe it to her we lucked out with Molly. They were honest with us and told us up front that she knew zero commands, was not housebroken, hated her crate, and had never been on a leash before. We were glad they allowed us to make an informed decision and she has already learned sit and stay and had no accidents yesterday! She is also doing so much better in her crate and on a leash. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to add this wonderful dog to our family and to anyone who is looking for a dog or puppy I can't recommend this organization enough!

  • I adopted Brock aka Elvis (Lab/Retriever Mix) with them. The adoption went easy and smoothly. They were very helpful and encouraging with the process. I was pre-approved with them before I went and all I had to do was to fill out a quick form via phone app. Donated via PayPal. I've had Brock for nearly a month now and he's been great. So happy with him and how everything went. Highly recommend this rescue!
