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.

We presently operate the facilities with 23 inside/outside dog runs and accommodations for 20 cats, our shelter accepts pets from people who are either no longer able or willing to care for them. We also operate a clinic providing reduced fee spaying and neutering for our community's dogs and cats.
We are supported by membership donations, fundraiser's, grants, and donations from individuals and businesses wanting to make a difference. Our members and volunteers staff the shelter by helping in the office, answering phones, and showing animals to the public. Potential adopters are screened for compatibility with the needs of the pet. There are no same day adoptions.
Other volunteers help by exercising, grooming, and spending time with the animals. Some volunteers like to work at our thrift shop selling donated items. We also have a project called Outreach offering education classes in our local schools, participate in community activities to promote animal awareness, and when able to do so, take dogs and cats to visit senior residences.
