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.

This is a no-kill shelter except under circumstances such as suffering or extreme medical care.
Our Sanctuary suffered a tragic loss when our home, cattery, and dog room went up in flames on Dec.12, 2002 at 12:30 am. This fire at first was thought to be arson then later determined to be an electrical fire caused by a nail through one of the electrical wires. We were awakened by the smoke detectors and escaped through the window of the downstairs bedroom. We went around to the cattery, which was attached to the home and opened the door to let the cats escape, then went in through the back door to try and get the animals out of the house. We were successful in getting out Amy and Dillon, which are on the “oldsters page”. They were completely unharmed, I called as long as I could for the others and they never came and were killed in the fire. In the house and lost to the fire were our personal cats that had been sleeping with us Spirit (a.k.a. Dorka), Squint, Moe, and the three dogs Chico, Blanca, and Chupa who were in the living room. Upstairs we had a cat that was called B.K. for Burn Kitty which was a double tragedy as he had just recovered after almost four months of treatment for burns to his face and neck inflicted by someone who had tortured him. Also there were two other cats that were separated out of the cattery because of upper respiratory disease. We do not know how many cats exactly were lost from the cattery but it is close to thirty with approximately 20 that were feral cats that had been trapped, spayed and neutered through the F-Cap program. We had just started releasing them at the sanctuary. The dog room had 11 dogs in it. They were crated either for crate training or medical problems. One of these survived by escaping her crate and going over the fence. She was not seriously burned but was singed in places. Lost in the dog room were Thumper (my personal dog of 11 yrs), Milwaukee, Frank, Barney, Fred, Jinx, Chocolate, Mikey, Onyx, and Lance.
We have 4 cats at the vet that are badly burned along with some here. Left are the dogs that were in the dog pens, a carport, and our barn. We are rebuilding and now have a travel trailer on property and the carport/feed room is becoming an administration building. The slab that the home and cattery was on is determined fit to build kennels on and we have already got that cleaned off. We will be building four small catteries with outside enclosures.
We have had a tremendous amount of support from the rescue community, vets, neighbors and good Samaritans. We are very grateful for all the help we received.
