My story

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

Dusty is 5 yrs 

Dusty is a wonderful adult collie who is still in touch with her inner puppy. She tends to be active, but she eventually settles down. When meeting new people, she might jump at first, but then will accept being petted and, if she’s lucky, get her favorite thing, treats! Dusty’s still working on her social manners with other dogs. If a new dog friend reminds her of the rules, she takes the correction—especially if that friend is a confident, more dominant, take-charge type that shows her what’s what. She tends to get along best with male dogs. However, she will need to be fed separately from other dogs. Dusty is interested in cats and might chase them at times, but not to the point of annoying them.


Her current foster mom says Dusty is ”genuinely a fun dog to be around.” She describes Dusty as having a “goofy, aloof personality” while still being willing to learn. Dusty has made many new dog friends while in foster care.

What Dusty would love most is a home where she can go on adventures, enjoy lots of treats, and finally settle into her forever family. She can’t wait to be settled in her forever 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.
