Welcome to Almost Home Ohio!

Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has rescued hundreds of dogs since our inception in 2003. 100% of all donations go directly to the care of our rescued dogs. Learn more about us ...

URGENT! Fosters Needed!
We can only help as many dogs as we have foster placements for, so please if you can find it in your heart to take in a dog and foster it, you will be making a big difference. If you can help, please contact Carol Mondillo. Remember: Saving just one dog won't change the world ... but ... surely, the world will change for that one dog!



As 2011 draws to a close, we reflect on those lives we have helped change for the better, and those that have helped change us. Pulling dogs from high-kill shelters is a top priority for us, with an estimated 80% of our intakes coming from these types of places. This means many of the dogs you have heled rescue this year would have likely been euthanized had Almost Home not stepped in.

Take a look at their faces!

Throughout the year we've rescued and treated dogs with everything from mange to broken bones ... from flea infestation to severe malnutrition ... from heartworm to total blindness. Not only did these dogs survive - they flourished. All have gone on to be cherished pets. Some have become not only cherished pets, but Canine Good Citizens, Therapy Dogs, Certified FEMA Search & Rescue Dogs, and more. And we couldn't have done it without you.

As a 100% volunteer run organization, we rely heavily on donations to continue our rescue mission. Our adoption fee ranges from $150-$350, but before including extraneous medical expenses, our basic cost per dog is a little over $500 for care. It goes up significantly when veterinary bills are factored in. We need your support to continue our rescue operations.

As a registered 501(c)3 organization, all donations to Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio are tax deductible. We can send a receipt upon request.

No gift is too small...
A gift of $15 can provide a collar, flea treatment, or heartworm prevention.
A gift of $25 can cover the cost of some vaccinations, or help cover food.
A gift of $35 can help cover the cost of the basic veterinary exam.

Larger gifts can cover the spay/neuter and help cover the costs of veterinary expenses for those we intake with severe medical needs.

Can't afford to give? Donations of blankets, toys, leashes, collars and the like can help make a world of difference to a dog in need. We are also always in need of volunteers and foster families, and we'd love to hear from you! Please contact us if you'd like to get involved.

From all of us here at Almost Home to our generous adopters and supports: May the New Year find you well and bring you blessings.
