My story

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

Happy Ziggy’s photos might not make a great impression because his former owner shaved him. However, we assure you that Ziggy is a big rough collie and that his fur is growing back. Ziggy still has puppy exuberance and loves to be around people and make new friends. He is in the process of being trained not to jump in his joy at getting to say “hi” to someone. He is awaiting his neuter, and presumably his house training will be finished after that takes place. He doesn’t have accidents in the crate. 

Ziggy loves his squeak toys and being outside with his foster mom. Everything is still so new to him, yet he doesn’t seem anxious about anything. Inside, besides playing with his toys, he wants to watch what his foster mom is doing. He gets along with her dogs and likes to play with them if they accompany him outside. He’s sniffed at the cat and been a bit interested but no problems. A silly thing that Ziggy sometimes does is opt to go out through his foster mom’s legs rather than around her when she lets the dogs outside. He is such a sweet, silly boy.

Ziggy is what we often call a “diamond in the rough.” Look beyond his shaved coat and his need to learn commands and you will see a dog who is loving, energetic and waiting to joyfully greet his forever family and for them to give him treats, play time and lots of love in return.

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.
