The Almost Home Pet Adoption Center is funded almost entirely by donations, our thrift shop sales, and fundraisers? We receive some funding from Nelson County, e.g. costs for spay/neutering dogs transferred to Almost Home from Animal Control, but none from taxes, ASPCA or HSUS! We also depend on the help of our dedicated volunteers and fosters. This has enabled us to save thousands of animals, but we need YOUR help to further this effort. We are a 501c3 organization so your donations are tax deductible.
As we work towards our goal, we depend on the generous support of fellow animal lovers. Please consider supporting our mission to save all adoptable animals, help end pet overpopulation, and help end animal abuse and neglect in Nelson County. We're the little shelter that does!
