The Aryan Molossus
Once a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector

Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration.

The Armant
The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give

To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special.

The Atlas Terrier
The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy

At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days.

Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie
It Is Impossible Not to Love Them

Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet.

A dog that only a cat could love

Who says cats and dogs don't get along? Volunteers at the Meriden Humane Society were very surprised at a short-haired mother cat who has adopted a 6-day-old Rottweiler puppy which was rejected by its mother soon after birth.

The tiny pup, who was named Charlie by Humane Society volunteers, now nurses alongside a number of black and gray kittens that were recently born to Satin, who was recently taken to the shelter by an owner no longer able to care for her.

Charlie's mother was found on the side of the road in Meriden a few of months ago. She gave birth to two puppies, but one was stillborn. As sometimes happens with a stillborn in the litter, the mother now refused to accept Charlie as one of her own.

Volunteers bottle-fed him every two hours, but the effort was very exhausting for them and insufficient for the puppy.

Previous research indicated that a suitable replacement could be Satin, who had recently given birth to four kittens that have quickly warmed up to Charlie.

The new arrangement between Charlie, Satin and the kittens will likely change as the pup grows. Full-grown male Rottweilers commonly weigh 100 pounds or more.

Volunteers are hoping that dog owners will volunteer their puppies to be Charlie's playmates, as dogs need to be with a litter of puppies, to learn to play with other dogs and he has to learn to be a well-socialized dog.
