About this organization

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 11 am to 6 pm, excepting major holidays. 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 spacious wire cages within open rooms with hammocks and scratching pads. Visitors can get to know the cats and kittens in our secure cat room. 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 health. The Center does accept animals being surrendered by Nelson residents on a space available and adoptability basis. Our mission is to provide a safe space for homeless cats and dogs in Nelson County until they find appropriate homes. We also provide community spay/neuter programs and education. We are committed to building the next generation of animal welfare enthusiasts. As President of the organization I am a volunteer with a passion for helping animals and our community.
