Do you want to be covered in kisses? Then you just might be the perfect match for Marley, a lovable 7-year-old sable collie!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, Marley’s previous owner had to find him a new home, but Marley is slowly adjusting to his foster family. He loves being around his people all the time and doesn’t want to miss any chance to be near them. He follows his humans everywhere, even sleeping on the floor beside their bed at night to keep a gentle, watchful eye.

Being an older dog, Marley already knows commands like sit, down, stay and come—and he’s always eager to learn more, especially if snacks are involved, since he’s motivated by both food and treats. Marley loves the outdoors and enjoys sniffing around and exploring. He will come when called and finds comfort in his foster home. When meeting other dogs, Marley is a little tentative and curious at first, but once he warms up, he is playful and enjoys their company. He especially enjoys running along the backyard fence, barking and playing with the neighbor’s dog. And bonus, he gets along great with cats too!

Sweet, affectionate, and always ready to surprise you with a few unexpected kisses, Marley is sure to make a wonderful companion for someone lucky enough to call him family.

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.
