The Almost Home Pet Adoption Center is a no-kill facility owned

and operated by the Humane Society/SPCA of Nelson County. It

is located at the intersection of Rt. 29 North and Stagebridge

Road (Rt. 624) , just two miles north of Lovingston. Presently the

facility is open daily from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M.

The Adoption Center houses dogs and cats. The dogs are contained in individual rooms, one or two to a room, with wall murals painted by area artists and hemi-sync music from a sound system donated by the Monroe Institute. Visitors are encouraged to spend time in the rooms getting acquainted with the dogs and cats prior to adoption. Cats and kittens are housed in colorful cat condos with handcrafted furniture for climbing and perching.

Adoption fees cover the cost of vaccinations, worming, heartworm test or feline leukemia/aids test and spaying/neutering. All adult animals are provided these veterinary services prior to adoption. Kittens and puppies are adopted out with neutering certificates

covering the cost of these veterinary services at the appropriate age.

Many of the animals come from unclaimed or surrendered animals at the Nelson County Animal Control Facility.

These animals have been judged to be adoptable based on temperament and looks. The

Center does accept animals being surrendered by Nelson residents on a space available and

adoptability basis.

I am a volunteer. Among other things, I take photos of animals and post them on the internet for exposure to the public.
