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 Sprite

Sprite's name really fits. She is an elf-like being—dainty on her feet, who springs upright into the air, who glides as she runs. This trim, 37 pound girl could follow you like a shadow or play hide-n-seek with you in the woods. She loves the world and every one she meets. She will gently put her paws on your chest to sniff your face. Sit down with her and she will put her head on your shoulder. This soft, sweet, girl is ready for her new home. She is rooming with her dog friend, Dr Pepper, who she thinks is wonderful. You know what they say-”Birds of a Feather Flock Together.” Both are hounds. We guess he thinks she's pretty cute with her adorable folded ears, her floppy tongue, and her eyes like liquid amber. They do not need to be adopted together, but what's better than one hound? Two?!We think Sprite has a magical personality and fairy-tale looks. If you like a dog that will keep you grinning and love you like no other, come meet Sprite.
