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. |

GPA-Northern Virginia began as a small group back in the late 1980s, when two or three people worked with Lou Batdorf of GPA-Wheeling Downs. During those days, very few dogs were placed in homes and the organization was really just a casual agreement between Lou and the folks in Northern Virgina. In 1990, Kathe and Paul Fritz adopted their first greyhound. Along with other first time owners, they began to volunteer to help with local adoptions. Over time, the number of active volunteers increased and the group began to take on a more permanent character, while still adopting greyhounds under the umbrella of GPA-Wheeling Downs. As the 1990s progressed, more and more adopters became involved with the cause, and we began placing around 25 greyhounds a year in their forever homes. In 1999, the group decided that it was time to become a chapter in our own right. As part of that goal, a more formalized structure to the group was adopted, including the creation of a Board of Directors and the appointment of officers. The adoption process was developed and formalized, and as the number of adoptions grew, so did the number of volunteers. Lou Batdorf, our friend at GPA-Wheeling Downs, was instrumental in our search for chapter status. Lou acted as our official sponsor and mentor, guiding us through the necessary preparations and procedures along the road to chaptership, and acting as our liason with GPA National. Lou's leadership, training and friendship is a part of everything that GPA-NoVA is today. In April 2001, GPA-Northern Virginia was officially granted chapter status. From those early days in the late 1980s when just a few people helped put a few greyhounds into homes, we have grown into a strong organization with over 100 dues paying members placing nearly 90 dogs a year. As we continue to grow, we hope to do everything we can to make sure that every retired racing greyhound has a home.
