Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce 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. |

Animal Shelter details for Etosha Rescue and Adoption Center
Please visit Etosha Rescue and Adoption Center and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Etosha Rescue and Adoption Center. Etosha Rescue and Adoption Center is located in cibolo, Texas. If you have information to add or update for Etosha Rescue and Adoption Center, please click here and let us know.
Etosha began in the year 1988 as a rescue for unwanted hunting dogs and purebred Great Danes. By December, 1990, Etosha was formerly organized, with only two board members and a handful of volunteers. The facility (then located in Castroville, Tx.) was expanded to accomodate an increasing number of homeless dogs (both purebreds and mixed-breeds). Injured wildlife such as deer, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, and an assortment of birds were also rescued, nursed back to health, and returned to their natural habitat. In March,1995,Etosha moved to its present location on five acres outside the city limits of Seguin, Texas. Our land did not flood until the big storms of October, 1998, but from that time on it now floods with each and every rain. We are actively seeking a suitable place for the relocation of the shelter. Etosha provides care for approximately 200 rescued dogs year round. All dogs are heartworm tested, neutered and properly vaccinated prior to adoption. In many cases, such as in the larger breeds, hip and/or elbow x-rays and heart checks may be performed prior to adoption. Dogs are well-socialized and their temperaments carefully evaluated before they become available for adoption. They receive basic obedience training as well. Healthy dogs of good temperament are never euthanized at Etosha. If an adoptive home is not found, rescued dogs live out their lives as permanent residents of the facility. Etosha provides large, grass and dirt surfaced runs (no concrete) for its rescues. Individual wading pools are provided for each dog during the summer months. Shelters consist of wood sides and tin roofs, as well as wooden dog houses or the insulated "igloo" type. Crates are available indoors for young puppies, sick or injured dogs, and those who cannot tolerate unusually hot or cold conditions. Etosha is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) association that receives no outside funding. It is managed on a daily basis by one person and several generous foster homes. Tax-deductible donations of cash, food and building materials are always needed and greatly appreciated.
