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. |

REGAP, a non-profit greyhound adoption organization, was founded in 1987 by Jacquie Schnepf. Her husband, Dr. Dale Schnepf, was a veterinarian at All Pets Animal Clinic in Waterloo, Iowa, where the greyhound track had opened the previous year. Trainers from the new track soon began bringing dogs that had lost their competitive edge to Dr. Schnepf to be euthanized. Dr. Schnepf agreed to euthanize the retired racers, but quickly became disgusted with the practice of euthanizing healthy dogs, since he had become a veterinarian to help animals. Jacquie Schnepf sought an alternative and REGAP was the answer. The Waterloo veterinarian continued to accept the retired greyhounds. However, rather than euthanize the dogs, the Schnepfs saved them by placing them in adoptive homes. REGAP was one of the first organizations of this sort. It was designed to accept the retired racers and then place them up for adoption. Since its beginning in 1987, REGAP has found homes for thousands of retired racers. In a record year, 1700 dogs were adopted. The organization also grew and expanded. REGAP was headquartered in Waterloo, Iowa, with satellite operations in Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois and Michigan.
