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 Northwest Georgia Please visit Humane Society of Northwest Georgia and adopt a homeless pet
You have reached the shelter page for Humane Society of Northwest Georgia. Humane Society of Northwest Georgia is located in dalton, Georgia. If you have information to add or update for Humane Society of Northwest Georgia, please click here and let us know.
The Humane Society of Northwest Georgia, Inc. is a 501(c)3 none profit organization. It is comprised of volunteers who are dedicated to educating the public about responsible pet ownership, the rescue and placement of animals and helping low income families with financial assistance to spay and neuter their pets. The organization depends on special fund-raising events, donations and grants to fund these projects.
To enhance its mission, the HSNWGA focuses on Education; Rescue & Placement of abandoned animals and Financial Assistance for low cost spay / neuter and Emergency Medical Treatment.
At the present time, our organization operates out of a few foster homes and is limited to the amount of animals it can take in. Most of these are obtained from the local animal control facility where they face almost certain death. That facility euthanizes between 3000 and 4000 unwanted and abandoned dogs, cats, puppies and kittens each year, hence the importance of our Spay and Neuter program. Without a facility, our volunteer foster homes hold adoption days at certain locations, advertise in the local paper and television station and through various Internet pet adoption sites. We are able to place on average, 200 animals a year to good forever homes.
By offering free and low cost spay and neuter opportunities for senior citizens and families with low income, we hope to some time in the future, alleviate the severe over population of unwanted puppies and kittens that needlessly suffer and die at the hands of the elements and human abusers. The Emergency Medical Assistance program is intended to help not only the low income families and seniors but also to assist the "Good Samaritan" who finds a sick or injured animal on the side of the road and takes the animal to a veterinarian for treatment and pays for that treatment themselves. In most cases, the person doing the good deed has a bigger heart than bank account and usually does not even keep the animal but gives it up for adoption. Good deeds like that should be acknowledged as well as financially assisted.
