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.

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. |

Leon County Humane Society's history has, to date, consisted of three distinct periods: 1960-1971: Getting Established 1972-1996: The Shelter Years 1996 to date: The Redefining Years. The first period was spent establishing the organization as a viable, effective animal advocacy organization and evaluating the local and state situation to determine the status and needs of the animals. During the second period, the City of Tallahassee contracted with the Leon County Humane Society to operate the animal shelter. The third period began when the City of Tallahassee opened the new Animal Service Center and opted to operate it under city government. At that point in time, the Leon County Humane Society redefined its directions and activities and continued as an effective animal advocacy organization. When the LCHS was formed in 1960, the population of Tallahassee was nearly 50,000 (Leon County's at 75,000). A group of approximately 30 citizens met to form the LCHS. Minutes from a meeting of the group indicate that at that time in Tallahassee, there were two adequate pounds (large enough and clean), a cooperative understanding dogcatcher, no animals abused or destroyed unnecessarily, efforts made to find homes for homeless, and carbon monoxide gas used to destroy animals when necessary. The LCHS decided that their main purposes should be humane education for the public, prevention of cruelty to animals and the relief of their suffering. Membership dues were $3 per person, $2 per person for additional family members, and 50 cents for members under 18 yrs. of age. Laura Jepsen served as the organizing chairman (president). Laura Jepsen was a humanities professor at Florida State University. Her legacy to Tallahassee included her very beautiful and unique home and grounds now known as Litchgate on High Road. The organizing Board of Management included Secretary Mary Parmenter, Treasurer Margueritte Lungren and Board members Julian R. Alford, Mrs. Thomas V. Barrett, Mrs. John H. Phipps, Miss Daisy Parker, Miss Venila L Shores, Mrs. Udo M Fleischmann, and Dr. Robert E. Lee. Once LCHS was established, the first official officers were President Col. Murphy, Vice-president Edgar Henderson, Secretary Daisy Parker, and Treasurer Dr. Robert E. Lee. At this time the organization starting meeting in the courtroom of City Hall. A bank account was established with Capital City National Bank and an account opened with a deposit of $32.50. Today, LCHS maintains its commitment to companion animals in the Leon County/Big Bend area by continuing our mission to promote their welfare.
