Humane Society/SPCA of Nelson County

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. Website: http://www.nelsonspca.org/index.htm

Meet Spidey

Spidey is a handsome, compact terrier mix with a ton of enthusiasm, athleticism, and intelligence. He is one good-looking dog! He greets everyone he meets with smiles. His youthful attitude is contagious. This perky guy is ready to learn and to experience the world with someone willing to give him a little basic training. He is starting training with our friends at Camp Merricks, and they will help whoever adopts him with the transition to his new home. There probably isn't much Spidey can't do. He is a great size at 37 lbs so he can go anywhere you want to go. Spidey is clean in his room. And even though he always looks for attention, he isn’t a big barker. Spidey is thrilled with his new toys here and loves getting stuffed Kongs or Nylabones at the end of the day. When he’s walked past other dogs hootin’ and hollering at him, he just stays with his handler and ignores all their noise.Spidey has been in the shelter for almost three months now and is starting to feel the stress. We get him out to play and he has lots of toys and people to walk him, but it's still a stressful place. If you are a terrier fan and like a dog with a lot of personality, Spidey has it. Fill out an application today and come by to meet Spidey!
