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 the Yonkers Animal Shelter is a non-for-profit (501.3C) organization that initally was formed to help the Yonkers Animal Shelter and the animals of the city. A core of volunteers was established to assist in whatever capacity was deamed helpful by the Friends of YAS organization. We introduced volunteers into the shelter to aid and assist the shelter staff, and to walk and help socialize the animals. We encouraged adoptions at the shelter and at our Insistence we received the city's approval and they set up an account PETFINDER.COM., a website that was maintained by us for 4 yrs. This consisted of countless hours of picture taking, updating the site (which resulted in the adoption of well over 300 animals). We've worked with many rescue groups, which is an integral part of animal welfare, who helped find permanent "forever" homes. We have also transported numerous animals to rescues and hospice at our own expense. FYAS held adopt-a-thons, and the group, in conjunction with another organization held several adoption days in Northern and Southern Westchester County. A couple of fundraisers were held and the monies raised was used to help defer the costs of some medical expenses and purchase grooming supplies, bedding, leashes, treats, etc. We are working on legislation, and numerous other projects, which will be beneficial to the city and it's animals. As we have done in the past, our mission is to continue to intercept animals prior to entering the kill shelter by working with rescue groups and individuals to help find permanent homes for these unfortunate throw-a-ways.
