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 Isle of Wight County Humane Society Please visit Isle of Wight County Humane Society and adopt a homeless pet
You have reached the shelter page for Isle of Wight County Humane Society. Isle of Wight County Humane Society is located in Smithfield, Virginia. If you have information to add or update for Isle of Wight County Humane Society, please click here and let us know.
The Isle of Wight County Humane society is an all volunteer organization that promotes responsible pet care and the humane treatment of animals in our local community. Humane Society members take in homeless and unwanted animals and provide them with foster care and medical treatment. When the animals are healthy and socialized, they are adopted out to permanent homes. Our pet adoption program is very successful and we find homes for hundreds of dogs and cats each year.
The Humane Society also actively supports our county animal shelter. The shelter is owned and administered by Isle of Wight County, but the Humane Society provides vaccines, medication, leashes, pet carriers and veterinary care not funded by the county.
We also take animals from the shelter as part of our adoption program.
Additionally our group donates “wish list” items to the shelter and we have recently purchased cooling fans, heating pads, disinfecting aerators, a bathtub and a digital camera for the facility.
To promote our concern for animal welfare the Humane Society participates in local activities such as parades, festivals and fairs. We also place notices and advertisements in our local newspaper, The Smithfield Times. Our small “green house” donation banks have been set up in the shops and stores of many kind business owners throughout the county.
