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.

UPDATE: JUNE 8, 2017
Okay! Let's just say it like it is! I'm shy; I'm nervous; I find people kind scary! But... I want to be loved and cared for in a home of my own. I've been hanging out here in the big room at the shelter for SIX YEARS, ever since I was a frightened little kitten. Have you got a place where I can just be me? I WILL come to you for treats... I'm shy, not stupid. Maybe we can end up in a beautiful relationship together.
UPDATE: FEB 25, 2013
Bug's mother and his siblings were found living out of a dumpster and brought to us on 6/15/11. At that time we estimated him to be 10 weeks old. His facial markings make him look like he’s gotten into the milk and dribbled some on his chin. Nearly feral when he came to us, Bug has really blossomed. He is now a sociable, sleek, handsome boy who likes to play and enjoys attention. He’s also best friends with his kitty neighbors. Almost Home was a life-changer for little Bug—who is now Big Bug!
