Almost Home: Nelson Co SPCA

Almost Home: Nelson Co SPCA We are open to the public from 1-4 PM daily! Strays continue to go through the Animal Control Facility until their "stray hold" is up.

A 501c3 "No-Kill" facility - our mission is to improve animal welfare by providing care and adoption of "unwanted" companion animals in Nelson County VA. 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 Kitt

en & 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.

Looking for something to do on a Sunny Saturday? Stop in and meet Sprite!

Sprite's name really fits. She is an elf-like being—dainty on her feet, who springs upright into the air, who glides as she runs. This trim, 37 pound girl could follow you like a shadow or play hide-n-seek with you in the woods. She loves the world and every one she meets. She will gently put her paws on your chest to sniff your face. Sit down with her and she will put her head on your shoulder. This soft, sweet, girl is ready for her new home. She is rooming with her dog friend, Dr Pepper, who she thinks is wonderful. You know what they say-”Birds of a Feather Flock Together.” Both are hounds. We guess he thinks she's pretty cute with her adorable folded ears, her floppy tongue, and her eyes like liquid amber. They do not need to be adopted together, but what's better than one hound? Two?!

We think Sprite has a magical personality and fairy-tale looks. If you like a dog that will keep you grinning and love you like no other, come meet Sprite.

We can't believe Russell is still with us! He was adopted out in 2023 and returned late in 2024. When he came back, he was very scared. Our amazing staff and volunteers, working with a local dog trainer have helped Russell turn things around. He has calmed down, is very well behaved at public events and enjoys his play groups with other dogs.

He has the look that folks seem to hope for—compact (43.6 pounds), black Lab mix with white socks. He is old enough (6 years) to have learned plenty of life's lessons but is still young enough to be curious and willing to learn. He is a great walking companion and is super happy to see his human friends. He keeps his room tidy and appreciates his comfy bed. He is quiet and rarely barks. In the evening, he looks forward to a Kong chew toy with a treat smeared inside. True to his Lab roots, he LOVES, LOVES, LOVES water.

Whoever adopts Russell will have a free training session with our training partners at Camp Merricks to help with the transition and his continued confidence building. Fill out our online application and stop by to meet him!
