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 Willard

Willard is an 8 year old Walker Hound. This is the second time he has found himself in our care. He originally came in several years ago as a stray. He spent a long time here before getting adopted. Once adopted He enjoyed family life and spent a good amount of time with our friends at Camp Merricks. When he was surrendered again (no fault of his) they agreed to foster Willard until he can find a new family. Willard is a friendly, mature hound who is crate trained and enjoys sleeping on a big dog bed. He does well with most other dogs, of all sizes. A meet and greet is always helpful if prospective adopters have a dog in the home already. Willard rides well in the car and has fairly good leash manners. Willard loves to play, then nap. At a recent adoption event at a local winery he was so well behaved and even went through the obstacle course with some of the volunteers there. He truly is a funny, friendly house hound. If you would like to meet Willard contact Camp Merricks at [email protected].
