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 Jaxson

Four-year-old Jaxson thought he was just being a freewheeling venturer before getting picked-up for being unlicensed. No one claimed him, so we gave him a place to wait until he finds a home. While he has been with us, he has been neat in his room, and wriggles with delight when anyone stops to give him some love. We've got a serious tail-wagger here. This compact (40 pound), muscular dog is all set to learn what is expected of him. He has already learning to sit when directed and also to wait before a door is opened. When asked, he behaves well while on leash walks. He seemed to want to play with dog-curious kitties, but he could be overwhelming for some kitties.. Jaxson is the clean-cut yellow of a Labrador. And by the look of his charcoal lips, he may have some Black-mouth Cur (Old Yeller type dog) in his bloodline. We don’t know his mix for sure, but we know for sure that he is smart and good-looking.*update: on a recent outing to a lake-- Jaxson was perfect in the car and didn't blink an eye at the noisy pond geese. But, he couldn't get enough of meeting new people. Loving people is his favorite pastime. Jaxson always seems to look on the bright side of things. Bring him into your life to see the world from his optimistic viewpoint.
