Almost Home: Nelson Co SPCA We are open to the public from 11a.m. to 6p.m. daily! Strays continue to go through the Animal Control Facility until their "stray hold" is up.

As a 501(c)3 "No-Kill" facility, our mission is to improve animal welfare by providing care and adoption of "unwanted" companion animals in Nelson County, Virginia. The Humane Society/SPCA of Nelson County (HS/SPCA) strives to improve animal welfare by providing care and adoption of "unwanted" companion animals through: our "no-kill" adoption center, foster care networks, satellite adoption venues, and Kitten & Puppy Rescue/Transport Programs; by funding veterinary services and education programs; and, by controlling over-population through low-cost Spay-Neuter-Vaccinate and Feral Cat Trap/Neuter/Release programs. Our goal is to extend the no-kill philosophy throughout our county, so that no healthy, non-aggressive animal is euthanized. Animals being surrendered by their owners are accepted on a space available basis, if they are judged to be adoptable. Animals are also selected from unclaimed or unwanted animals at the Nelson County Animal Control Facility after they are evaluated by the SPCA and judged to be adoptable. No animal will be put down unless it is judged to be dangerously aggressive or untreatably ill. The HS/SPCA (also known as the Almost Home Pet Adoption Center) now has several part-time employees but still relies heavily on volunteer help. Because of our efforts here at Almost Home, thousands of animals have been saved and are now living in permanent homes.

Rusty is a creative girl who can turn just about anything into a game. She’s one year old and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an entertaining, energetic cat. Rusty would love to leave the stress of the shelter behind her and settle into a home where she can be herself. If you’re interested, please call 434-263-7722.

Despite the rain, it was a pleasure to spend time at Basic Necessities today with three lovely animals, Monacan, Finn and Sawyer. The food and service was amazing and there were even special French dog treats for Monacan.

Meet Bandit – The Adoptable Hound of the Week

Bandit is an almost 2-year-old hound who has been waiting for his forever family for almost a year. This handsome boy has so much life ahead of him, and we would love to see him finally experience the joy of having a home of his own.

Bandit is a sweet, sometimes shy boy who absolutely loves other dogs. Having a canine friend may be a wonderful way for him to build confidence and feel more comfortable as he learns about the world around him. Before coming to us, Bandit spent his life living on a chain. That means the simple things that many dogs take for granted — having a soft bed, exploring a yard, relaxing in a home, and being part of a family — will all be brand new experiences for him.

Bandit will need someone who is willing to be patient and understanding as he learns what being a loved family dog is all about. We think watching him discover all those new experiences for the first time will be incredibly rewarding.

Bandit is located in Lovingston, Virgina and is under the care of Almost Home: Nelson Co SPCA. His adoption fee has been sponsored. Please contact the rescue for further information.

Each week the CC team features a hound in rescue waiting for their furever home. Please share and thanks for your support.

This drop-dead gorgeous boy, King, will mark his first anniversary at Nelson SPCA on October 2. At almost 3 years old, this sleek hound has shiny fur, striking eyes, and a gentle spirit.

King can be timid around new people, so he needs a patient, kind guardian who can give him the quiet, loving environment he needs to build confidence. He’ll do best with you if you understand that trust takes time, let him set the pace, and give him a safe place to retreat if he feels overwhelmed. If you’re patient and understanding, you’re likely to discover a devoted companion who will blossom.

King's adoption fee has been sponsored!

If you think you can give King the home he’s seeking, please call 434-263-7722.
