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 Greyhounds as Companions
Please visit Greyhounds as Companions and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Greyhounds as Companions. Greyhounds as Companions is located in delmar, New York. If you have information to add or update for Greyhounds as Companions, please click here and let us know.
We are a small 501-C not-for-profit organization, consisting of volunteers who find homes for retired racing greyhounds. The IRS has granted us tax-exempt status, so donations to Greyhounds As Companions, Inc. are tax deductible. Our Greyhounds come from different sources. Most of these dogs are from 2 to 3 years old, some not even 2. Some may be 4 and 5, and that indicates that they were successful for a time racing. We have taken senior female greyhounds from Florida breeding farms, which can be as old as 8 to 10. In 1999 we took a few dogs from Ireland, and now we have also taken some Spanish Greyhounds (Galgos) from Spain. Each dog is heartworm tested, spayed/neutered, has all shots brought up to date, has its teeth cleaned and nails clipped and then dogs stay with us for various periods of time so we can evaluate them. We also do heart worm testing and place dogs on preventative medication each month until adopted. Once we are sure the dog has reached the point when it should go to a new home, we match dogs to pre approved applicants and adoption takes place. Our pre approval process is extensive. We make sure the dog will be adopted into a permanent, loving and responsible home. We thoroughly small animal test each greyhound and provide muzzles to those going into homes with cats. We ask applicants to come visit with their families and their current dogs to introduce the greyhound so we can determine if the dog likes the family and the pet(s). Usually a greyhound will pick out the family it wants to go home with. If we see a family wants a dog that does not interact with them we point it out and suggest looking further. We want the right home for each dog, not just a home. We have pre adoption applications, which starts the process. If there is a landlord we want to speak with it and we usually ask to have a vet as the reference if there have been other pets. Once the adoption takes place a contract is signed and it is agreed that the dog will be given the proper care and returned to us if for any reason it cannot be kept or is no longer wanted. We are strict because we have to be. We spend a lot of time with each placement and try hard to give it the best chance of working. We are happy to report that we have been successful using our methods. To see the adoptable pets for Greyhounds as Companions click here Return to list
