More about the shelter
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.

About Blaze
Distance: 212 Miles
UPDATE: SEPT 25, 2019
When we rescued Blaze from Animal Control in 2009, she was a four-week-old kitten. This small bundle of love is proof that good things come in small packages. She knows how to charm you. She’ll climb onto your lap and then put out her paw to ask for treats. She’ll roll over as you pet her to show you her belly. If she sees children, she’ll greet them by standing on her back legs and reaching up to them. And when not being loved, she’s often found leaping between the furniture, showing off her athletic prowess.
Sadly, this sweet loving girl has spent her life with us. Why so long? Because she’s looking for a special home with other feline companions. Blaze was adopted once without a buddy, but was so lonely she had to come back. So she needs to go home with a friend (no charge).
