She doesn’t pull on the leash but will on occasion “freeze” if startled. Sally continues to enjoy both napping with the other resident dogs and playing withthem. She runs like the wind, plays chase, starts games of keep away, and wrestles with collies twice her size. Indoors, once she is in her ‘safe spot’ on the couch, she is quite happy to snuggle with any people who happen to sit beside her. She is now both house trained and crate trained, great progress Sally!! ~~Sally has had a rough life up until now. But we have every belief that she is going to blossom in the loving care of a foster and, eventually, with her forever family. It appears she spent all of her young life with other dogs and has had little opportunity to be with people. For this reason, we think she would feel most secure in a family that has other dogs. Sally is learning to love treats and is calm and gentle when she is feeling safe and secure. She is still learning to trust people and participate in all of the routines and pleasures that most dogs take for granted in their families. We will have more information about Sally soon. Sally is approximately 2 yrs old. The adoption fee for Sally is $450. Dont forget to visit our informative website, .almosthomeohio, for valuable information and interesting features.

Posted Breed: Collie (medium coat). To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit .almosthomeohio and complete our online application! Murphy was born on October 12, 2017. His intake form declares he is an “unusual sable merle.” (See the website colliesonline for a detailed description of the merle gene and how there is no “blue” color gene in collies; the merle gene acts to dilute black coat color.) Murphy will make a fine family dog with some consistency and training. Neutering, less than a week ago, may also calm some of the boisterous behavior in this young dog and reduce or eliminate marking. He can be a bit rough during playtime with people, dogs or cats. On the positive side, Murphy is a beautiful dog with no weight issues. He loves life, is happy, wags his tail a lot, loves to fetch (indoors), willingly goes into his crate, has made great strides and is now virtually house-trained, rides well in a car, and likes being petted. On the less positive side, Murphy can be mouthy, often jumping to give kisses and dislodging glasses. His martingale collar is essential for him as it prevents backing out, which he does try to do on the infrequent occasions when something spooks him. Murphy has not yet learned to take stairs and currently pulls on his leash. His foster mom attributes the following traits to Murphy: Affectionate Boisterous Energetic Good-natured Persistent SociableAlert Curious Enthusiastic Out-going Pushy Smart Attentive Eager Fun-loving Playful Rowdy Vocal Do you have the patience and consistency to turn this diamond-in-the-rough into the family jewel that is waiting to be released? he adoption fee for Murphy is $400. Murphy is being fostered near Columbus, OH Dont forget to visit our informative website, .almosthomeohio, for valuable information and interesting features.

Posted Breed: Collie (long coat). To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit .almosthomeohio and complete our online application! ~~(Dogs posted are just some of the AHDRO dogs currently ready for adoption. Please note that we match dogs with a suitable home/family so at any given time, dogs shown here may already have a potential match. Also please note that we are always rescuing dogs so there are dogs not yet posted. We allow them time to settle in with their foster home so that we can evaluate their health and personality.) Tucker is a handsome, 3 year old collie who became homeless when his owner passed away. He is quite the fellow, he enjoys humans and other dogs, and wags his tail to greet them. He is a bit overweight at 100 pounds; his ideal weight will be between 75 and 80 pounds. He plays chase with the other dogs in his foster family and enjoys dogs but would do fine as an only dog. He does jump up a little when meeting and greeting so any children should be dog savvy but we think he will learn to contain his exuberance with time. He is very smart and learns quickly. For example he did not do any steps at first. He was quite proud of himself when he realized he could master them. He is curious about cats and may chase them a bit but stops when asked. He is protective and although enjoys meeting people, if a stranger comes to the door he will bark to alert the family. He is house trained and crate trained and walks well on a leash. He is tall so food should not be left on the edge of the counter, after all, it must be there for him, right? He’s friendly, and affectionate and a wonderful combination of fun loving, good natured, sensitive and outgoing. Tucker is being fostered in Michigan The adoption fee for Tucker is $300.

To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit .almosthomeohio and complete our online application! ~~Rudy arrived at AHDRO with a dirty, matted coat. Otherwise was in good physical condition. He was neutered and then transported to his foster home. He initially needed coaxing to go through the gate and into his home. Once he met the resident dogs, he adapted quickly and now eagerly comes when called. Not only is he good with dogs and cats, he is also fine with chickens! Rudy loves to be petted and enjoys toys and bones. He does well in his crate at night. His foster gives him frequent outdoor breaks and had not had accidents at last report. Rudy is quit a chewer, and his foster is working with him on that. Given his background, this sweet dog is “coming along.” Rudy is approximately 18 mths old and new to our rescue.

Posted Breed: Collie / Mixed (medium coat). To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit .almosthomeohio and complete our online application! Anne is new to our rescue and is 2 yrs old. Anne was abandoned on a kind family’s porch. They took her in, cared for her, and created a Go Fund Me account for her. After they made arrangements to have her transported to Ohio and AHDRO, they sent the unspent funds with her. As you can see from her photos, Anne has mange, but it is DEMODECTIC mange which is NON-CONTAGIOUS for humans and other animals. Her foster says Anne’s face is healing and that “she is just the sweetest dog.” Her foster has had Anne for less than a week, but says that she is ravenous. This makes it easier to teach her manners and for house training, both of which are progressing nicely. Anne and the resident cat are already best friends. Watch this space for updated information as her foster gets to know Anne better. The adoption fee for Annie is $350.
