Humane Society/SPCA of Nelson County
Our Mission
At Nelson SPCA, our mission is to save and improve the lives of homeless dogs and cats in Nelson County through Positive Animal Welfare and place them in forever homes through adoption or rescue partnerships.
Our Journey
Since 1981, we have been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in our community. Over more than four decades, we have facilitated over 5,000 adoptions, achieving a 96% save rate as we continue to grow and adapt to meet the needs of our furry friends.
Our Care Model
Located on two acres near Lovingston, the Almost Home Pet Adoption Center is thoughtfully designed to provide a comforting, real-life setting for animals. Our facility includes specialized rooms for dogs and cats, dedicated isolation spaces, and both indoor and outdoor exercise areas, supplemented by our vital network of foster families who offer temporary loving homes.
Connecting You with Your New Best Friend
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our team is committed to making the process as smooth as possible for both you and your new pet. Through our structured meet-and-greet consultations and transparent, supportive process, we help ensure each animal finds the perfect home where they can thrive.
