Junior Acts of Kindness

Hey, Kids! If you’re a dog lover and need service hours, contact us! We’re flexible and have a variety of different tasks available. Here are some Junior Volunteers who have helped Almost Home.

Mrs. Burger’s fourth grade class at Avery Elementary School in Hilliard, Ohio, decided on their own that they wanted to collect money for AHDRO after they saw a postcard of Molly. For two weeks, the kids did extra work around the house to earn money for Molly, and some of them also gave up their “cookie quarter,” which would usually be used to buy a cookie at lunch; they gave it to Molly instead.

Stacey Gallant of AHDRO brought Molly to school to meet the class, and so that they could give Stacey the money they collected for Molly, which totaled $57.61!

The Lemonade Girls have sold lemonade and cookies in support of Almost Home the last two summers and have contributed over $125.00 to the rescue.

Thanks Lemonade Girls!

A great big THANK YOU! from Almost Home to Ms. Amy Neader's Enrichment Class at Grizzell Middle School, Dublin, Ohio.

The class's assignment was to write an effective advertising campaign for the product they were selling, puppy chow. They made and marketed the puppy chow, and then sold it in the school cafeteria at lunchtime.

The class selected AHDRO as the benefactor of their sales, and presented the rescue with a check for $108.74.

Nate Turner is a freshman in the Olentangy School district. He and his family adopted a gorgeous collie, named Jazz a few years ago from Almost Home.

We all have come to know Nate and appreciate his commitment to animal rescue. He has volunteered his time to help at our Reunion , the Halloween event at Mutts&Company and will be making dog beds with Habitat for Dogmanity with Columbus Dog Connection.

In his spare time, Nate enjoys horseback riding.

Sylvia Sinsabaugh had a lemonade (lemon-aid) sale to help raise money for AHDRO at the rally on July 3rd in Granville.

She and her friends, Theresa, Hannah and Alyssa had a great time helping to make a successful rally.

Make a Contribution


Almost Home heavily relies on donations to be able to continue our rescue. Quite often, the cost to rescue a dog far exceeds our requested adoption fee.

To donate, please either click the donate link above, or mail a check to ::

If you have questions, please contact Noelle at ahdrotreasurer10@aol.com. Upon request, we will send you a letter acknowledging your gift for tax purposes. Thank you for all past and potential donations. Your generosity is saving lives.

Adopt a Dog

Please ask your friends to adopt dogs from shelters or rescues rather than buying them from pet stores. A dog is killed due to the lack of a home approximately every 9 seconds ... adopting rescue or shelter dogs will help to reduce the number of dogs euthanized in shelters; it will also reduce the demand for puppies bred for sale in pet stores in the inhumane conditions of puppy mills.
