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,
which is staffed by volunteers, 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. |
