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.

Pets in Massachusetts : Dog : German Shepherd : Murphy
Murphy
Murphy has been waiting a long time for her new home. She's overcome health conditions and is feeling great and looking good. It's time for her to go home! Please help us make that happen. Murphy does not go well with other dogs, which makes it more difficult to find that new home. But we know it can happen, that special home is out there, just waiting for her.
You wouldn700t know it looking at these photos, but Murphy, a gorgeous female German Shepherd dog about 5 years old, has been through a rough time. Picked up as a stray, poor Murphy suffered a terrible case of skin infection, possibly due to neglect and ear mites. She was in terrible condition and clearly felt just awful, yet was so calm and sweet that the Billerica ACOs knew they had to help her. They contacted PoundHounds and through our Miracle Medical Fund, we were able to fund her treatment. After many baths, mite treatment and a switch to special food to rule out any allergies, Murphy has blossomed into a beautiful girl while still maintaining her sweet disposition. The ACOs report her to be pretty calm, enjoying her play time but happy to lay her head in your lap for gentle pets. Murphy does do get along with other dogs, possibly due to her time on the street, so we recommend a home without other dogs. She has not been tested with cats. A home without small children would be best as their activity and noise level might startle her. Murphy might be considered a special needs dog as she will need some special attention to sort out any possible food allergies. But we consider just plain SPECIAL!
If you think you can provide all the love and attention that Murphy so deserves, please contact Maureen or Dee at the Billerica, MA Pound at 978 671-0909. Thanks to the PoundHounds ACO Collaboration PAC program and a grant from the MAC Animal Friendly License Plate Grant Program, this dog is or will be up to date on shots, is heartworm negative and is spayed or neutered.
