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 SAFeR-Stray and Feral Rescue Please visit SAFeR-Stray and Feral Rescue and adopt a homeless pet

Safer is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the care and welfare of stray and feral (wild) cats. Our goal is to practice TNR and promote spaying and neutering of cats, while also offering suitable cats for adoption.
Safer was started by Sharold Prather and Bernard Herron because we saw a need. Like most cat lovers, we started feeding a group of stray and feral cats that lived in the neighborhood. The colony was producing offspring at alarming rates and we started doing research to find out what to do.
What we discovered was that there were very few organizations out there, with the exception of KittiCo and Feral Friends, that helped with colony care by providing TNR. The local SPCA provided discount spay and neuter, but for one unemployed person and one full-time student a discount wasn't of much help. We began rescuing the kittens and finding them homes and eventually were able to work with KittiCo to trap and neuter some of the adults.
However, it has been our experience that while many caregivers will take on the responsibility of feeding and providing basic care for a colony, they need or want help with the TNR process and/or veterinarian care. We know from experience that caring for a colony can be very expensive and time consuming and many people can become overwhelmed with all of the financial and emotional responsibilities. Once we both began working full-time, it became difficult to make drop-off schedules and repeated trips for drop-off and pick-up. All of this in addition to fostering several cats and kittens, providing veterinary trips and care and providing food, water and litter for all of our inside adopted children.
There just never seemed to be enough money, time or assistance. Sharold took several nonprofit management classes while completing her master's program at UTD and the two friends decided to start Safer as a way to gain support in their efforts.
