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 Dapper Dan

Dapper Dan is the man-- smart and well dressed in his handsome red coat. This guy love hanging out with folks in his room or out playing with them in one of our yards. He'll bark happy hellos, lay at your feet, chase a ball, or run along side you. He is perky guy and loves exploring the world. Dapper Dan keeps his room tidy and loves gnawing on a Nylabone at the end of the day. He behaves as if he's never met a stranger. He knows how to sit for a treat, then is ready and is excited for whatever his next lesson might be.He is a sturdy, muscular boy with dazzling good looks. His large/medium size (58 lbs) makes him perfect for the farm or as a couch buddy. If you like a solid muscular pooch, Dapper Dan fits the bill.
