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 George

UPDATE 2-12-23:  George’s 62 pounds gives the impression of long and lean. His attitude is like the calm of a perfect summer night. He is a classic tri-color hound—tan and white with a black saddle, a soft white muzzle ready to lay in your lap. George came as an unclaimed stray with a few small masses that we had removed. He took this in stride, healed quickly with a follow up good-bill-of-health from the vet. He is respectable on a leash and is happy to be walking with a partner. He rides well in a car and traffic doesn’t seem to trouble him at all. This gentle boy seems to look on the easy side of life—each dawn a new gift to unwrap, as if other dogs are acquaintances to meet and cats just other beings that belong on this earth too. Wise in his 8 years, George is not overly energetic but also not a droopy dude either. He seems to have just the right energy mix. He is always happy to meet new people and looks forward to seeing the ones he knows, but keeps his greetings dignified. During his stay here, he has been quiet and keeps his room in good order. It is easy to picture him stretched serenely in the glow of a wood burning stove as his person relaxes close by in their favorite chair. If you are looking for old southern charm with attentive ears that will listen to your concerns and joys, a reliable buddy to take long strolls with (in the country, city, or to have as a vacation compadre), George is ready and patiently waiting. Please fill out our online application to find out more about this wonderful gent. https://www.nelsonspca.org/info/adoption
