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 Brutus
Distance: 212 Miles
UPDATE: NOV 11, 2019
Brutus is a DSH male tuxedo cat, DOB ~ 2008
Brutus, a big, proud cat with a bigger personality, is one of our favorites. When wandered into our lives as a stray in 2010, he was a little over a year old. While Brutus can be quirky, he’s mellowed with age like a fine wine. He’d prefer you to love him in small sips, not gulps. He puts out his paw to get your attention, and once you’re petting him, you’ll hear him purr. He may even lick you to show his appreciation.
He likes to rule the roost, so even though he coexists with his feline roommates, he’d likely prefer to be an only cat. Besides food and attention, Brutus also enjoys a game of laser lights, which allows him to show off his hunting skills.
Brutus is on special food to prevent a flare-up of plasma Pododermatitis, which caused the pads of his paws to swell up way back in 2015. He hasn’t had a flare-up since, but he needs someone who will watch over his health and give him the love he needs.
