The Aryan Molossus
Once 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 Humane Society of Allen County Please visit Humane Society of Allen County and adopt a homeless pet
You have reached the shelter page for Humane Society of Allen County. Humane Society of Allen County is located in lima, Ohio. If you have information to add or update for Humane Society of Allen County, please click here and let us know.
Through the hard work of five caring individuals, the Animal Protection Association of Lima was incorporated on October 29,1937. Their purpose was "To promote the general welfare of dumb animals, to devise and execute means of securing for animals more kind and humane treatment." Since that time, the organization has been governed by a Board of Directors and acted as a not-for-profit agency. The name of the organization changed in 1965 and the Lima-Allen County Humane Society was incorporated.
The Society has built two shelters during its existence. The grand opening of the Seriff road shelter was celebrated in December 1979. The mortgage was paid off in only two years and the board of directors immediately began expansion plans. Those plans ultimately led to our current state-of-the-art shelter on Elida Road, which opened in May 2000. With that came another name change to The Humane Society of Allen County.
More changes came through work with the city of Lima. In 1972 the city contracted with the society to handle animal control within city limits. Three years later, the Allen County commissioners contracted with us to handle dog warden responsibilities. Animal control contracts with both the city and county were terminated in 1985 and in 2001 the society terminated the contract with Allen County to house stray dogs.
The recent changes serve to bring our shelter in compliance with laws that cover humane societies in Ohio. We strongly feel the need to maximize the available resources of the Society towards ending the overpopulation of homeless companion animals in Allen County. We will accomplish this through education, spay/neuter programs and innovative adoption education.
