About The Hotel for Homeless Dogs
The Hotel for Homeless Dogs is a one-of-a-kind animal care facility and adoption center based in Cumberland, Rhode Island, with a network of dedicated foster homes across New England. We are a passionate community of animal advocates committed to saving lives — from dogs at risk of euthanasia in overcrowded shelters to abandoned litters, animals found in inhumane conditions, and pets left with nowhere else to go.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide every animal in our care with love, safety, and support until they find their forever homes. Every rescue receives comprehensive veterinary care and is spayed or neutered, regardless of age, breed, or medical cost.
We are equally committed to education. By promoting responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter awareness, and compassionate care, we aim to address the root causes of animal homelessness and create lasting change. The Hotel operates entirely independent of state or federal funding — our work is made possible through the generosity of donors, adoption fees, and community fundraising.
Your support is what allows us to continue this lifesaving mission and expand our reach to even more animals in need.
Mission Statement
Rescue – Heal – Adopt – Educate
Rescue
We save animals facing euthanasia in high-intake shelters, as well as those abandoned, neglected, or surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them.
Heal
We focus on rehabilitation and recovery — providing food, shelter, medical treatment, and, just as importantly, human connection and nurturing care. Every animal deserves the highest quality of life while awaiting their forever home.
Adopt
We carefully match each animal with the right adopter, ensuring lasting placements. We remain a source of support for adopters, walking alongside them as part of our extended family.
Educate
We work to raise awareness about the realities of animal overpopulation and the importance of responsible ownership. Our vision includes school-based programs that inspire youth to value compassion, prevention, and advocacy — planting the seeds of a no-kill future.
At The Hotel, we’re not only saving animals — we’re redefining what animal welfare can and should look like. Through our example, we champion compassion, respect, and the belief that every living being deserves to be treated as we would want to be treated ourselves.
