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. |

The Friends of Animal Services was founded in 1979 as a support group for the Antioch Animal Services. In 1978, the citizens of Antioch voted overwhelmingly in favor of maintaining a local animal services program and became unique in Contra Costa County in this regard. Soon after this election, the Friends of Animal Services was formed for the express purpose of guaranteeing the people of Antioch a humane and comprehensive Animal Services program with an emphasis on a quality Animal Shelter and maximum responsible adoptions of animals. An old, rudimentary "dog pound" had dutifully served Antioch until its closure by the local government in 1975 as a cost-cutting measure. The smokestack of the carbon monoxide chamber used for euthanasia was ominously visible to the community. There had been housing for dogs only. It was this primitive facility that had to be renovated after the 1978 vote. Public funds had begun to dry up following the 1978 vote for Proposition 13. The Friends of Animal Services began, therefore, in the political arena as a powerful and effective advocate for renovation of the old building, for the crafting and adoption of a first-time animal ordinance, and for articulation of the new humane ethic for the city. As a result of the huge efforts and success of the Friends, the renovated building of 1979 was replaced in 1991 by the state-of-the-art Animal Services Facility -- a part of Antioch's mufti-million dollar Police Complex. From its political beginnings, the Friends has enriched the Animal Services program for nearly twenty years through fund-raising, education, volunteer efforts, community events, and even beautification of the shelter and its surrounding grounds and -- of course, through its continuing monitoring of local government! The Friends began in a home with only a handful of zealous persons; but it grew to include hundreds from many areas. The Friends is living proof that even one person can have a tremendous and lasting impact for good!
