My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit www.almosthomeohio.org and complete our online application!



Lance is 2 yrs old and currently undergoing heartworm treatment. Physical fence needed

This 2 year old tri-colored Collie/Great Pyrenees mix is learning to live inside a warm home.
He is housebroken, and his foster family has taught him his name and the commands “come,”
“stay,” “sit” and “paw.” Living inside a home is new to him after living outside for most of his
life. Due to this Lance tested positive for heartworm when he arrived at the rescue. He will
need a little extra care as he undergos heartworm treatment (which will be covered in full by
AHDRO). He'll need a family committed to following the vet's advice and providing the care
and medication he will require till he recovers.
His fosters describe him as adorably sweet and working on properly greeting guests and
leash walking. Using treats as a motivation, Lance is making daily progress. Inside his foster
home, Lance is playful, alert, and enjoys looking out the window. A physical fenced yard is
required for Lance which he loves exploring and chasing squirrels. His inquisitive personality
makes him very attentive to his surroundings and eager to learn new things. He will make a
great addition to a loving home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs please go directly to www.almosthomeohio.org for an application. Once the application is submitted, our adoption team can discuss the information on the application with you to determine if one of our dogs would be a good fit for your home. Lastly, a home visit will be done either by one of our volunteers or another reputable rescue volunteer in your area. We do adopt out of state, but it is up to the adopter to come meet and take the dog home. Sound like a lot to go through for a dog? It really isn't as complicated as it seems and it's the best way to ensure a good match. Please contact adoptions@almosthomeohio.org with any additional questions you may have after reviewing the information on our website.

More about this rescue

Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio is made up of a small (but growing) group of enthusiastic volunteers who want to make a difference in the lives of homeless dogs. Our background is with purebred collies and collie mixes but on occasion, we have other "family friendly" breeds. If you are searching for a collie, we'd like to help you find a wonderful companion that fits your family's lifestyle. All of our dogs are fully vaccinated and are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. They have also been tested and are negative for heartworm and are on heartworm preventative.
