Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has rescued hundreds of dogs since its inception in 2003. Donations and fees go directly to supporting the care and placement of our rescued dogs. AHDRO is a 100% volunteer organization. AHDRO’s mission is to provide homeless collies, shelties, and mixes of both breeds a safe haven where they will receive medical care, nutrition, and love until their forever homes are found.
The first step in the AHDRO adoption process is to read our Adoption Requirements located at the bottom of this page. If you meet these requirements and agree to them, the second step is to fill out our online application. The adoption team will review and acknowledge your application this includes contacting your veterinarian to verify that your pets are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, currently on heartworm prevention, and show a history of wellness care, if all goes well the third step is that a telephone interview will be scheduled if all goes well, the fourth step is that a home visit will be set up. Once approved to adopt, you will be put in touch with the dog’s foster family and a meeting can be set up with the dog at its foster home. We require adopters to travel to where the dog is fostered and most comfortable so you can evaluate and visit with the dog to see if it is a good match for you and your family. If you choose to adopt at this time, you will sign the adoption paperwork, pay the adoption fee and take your new dog home.
