Urgent Call for Fosters!
Almost Home Dog Rescue is celebrating 20 years in the rescue business.
Throughout these 20 years, we have worked tirelessly to rescue the precious collies and shelties, as well as the collie or sheltie that is snuggled up next to you. As dog lovers, you know how sweet, gentle, friendly and loving these pets can be. We do everything in our power to rescue some of the worst cases of abuse and neglect, insure they have veterinarian care, send them to a loving foster home temporarily and then adopt to their forever home. To date we have rescued over 1,650 dogs.
Currently nationwide, rescues are facing a huge crisis in terms of being able to rescue due to the extreme shortage of fosters. Almost Home is now being faced with this crisis! As of today, we will have to turn down requests to rescue unless we are able to expand our "foster community".
This is gut wrenching to all of us and now that the holidays are rapidly approaching, we start to get inundated with collies that need the warmth of a loving home and family.

PEDIGREE Foundation Grant
Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio is excited to share that the PEDIGREE Foundation has awarded us a $2,500 grant to help cover the expenses with the eleven puppies and dogs that were rescued from a puppy mill that were no longer of use to the breeder.
Pedigree has helped this unexpected intake of dogs with medical attention and food needed to have a fresh start and placed in loving and comfortable forever homes.
If you aren’t familiar with Pedigree Foundation, they’re a 501(c)3 formed by the makers of PEDIGREE food for dogs. Their focus is helping dogs in need find loving homes – a goal we share! You can find out more about them at pedigreefoundation.org.
We’re thrilled to receive the grant and excited about the work ahead to get every dog the loving home he or she deserves.
