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!
Fill out the online Adoption Application. For your current pets protection, please provide vaccination records for the animals in your home. If you are a renter, please check with your landlord to make sure you are allowed to have pets. We require verifiable veterinary references. If renting your home, we require written permission from your landlord or a copy of your lease, stating that pets are allowed. A visit to your home prior to adoption is always a requirement. We require a minimum of two references (other than your vet). The application must be filled out completely. All animals will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption, unless medical needs prohibit. If an animal needs to be spayed/neutered after adoption, a spay/neuter contract (with a refundable deposit) must be completed. We reserve the right to deny an adoption to any home for any reason. You must be at least 25 years old. Special considerations will be made for families experienced with special needs and abused animals. Rhode Home Rescue (RHR) does everything in its power to discover and treat any pre-existing medical conditions or illnesses, but cannot guarantee the health of an individual animal, post adoption. We do not make “deals,” adopt dogs to the highest bidders, or give discounts just because you are a great person. We pay for medical treatment, spaying, neutering, vaccinations, physicals, medications, and emergency surgeries and procedures. Sometimes we have to pay fees just to get the dogs released to our care. We do not make a profit, our funds are always tight, and we are usually in the “red” with vet bills that need to be paid. However, in some cases (dogs with special needs, seniors, etc.) we may lower adoption fees.
