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. |

SOS is a registered 501C(3) nonprofit, humane society that operates on donations of time, money, and in-kind gifts. Thanks so our large number of dedicated volunteers and low overhead, donations to SOS directly benefit animals. Gained overwhelming approval in 2001 for a breeders' bill in Richmond to: reduce the number of homeless and stray animals; to track individuals breeding dogs for illegal purposes; and to regulate those who breed cats and dogs for resale including “backyard breeders.” This groundbreaking legislation is the first of its kind in Virginia and in February, 2003, Petersburg adopted the same breeders' ordinance. Established "Pen Pals," a training and rehabilitation program with the Virginia Department of Corrections. Inmates socialize cats and learn dog training techniques making the animals more adoptable. SOS Pen Pals teaches the inmate handlers professional skills as well as responsible behavior. SOS exists to ensure the humane treatment of publicly impounded animals. The organization was formed in September 1996 in response to reports of inhumane treatment and negligence at the Richmond Animal Shelter, the city shelter financed by tax dollars. Since that time, SOS has rescued thousands of unwanted animals. SOS realizes that no matter how hard volunteers work only a fraction of homeless animals can be saved. To that end, SOS is spearheaded legislation to strengthen Virginia's animal welfare laws to ensure that all impounded animals are treated humanely - especially when their lives must be ended. SOS believes that population control is a more humane alternative than euthanasia to the tragedy of unwanted animals. SOS supports the work of the PetFix Coalition and Prevent A Litter Clinic, which have reduced the euthanasia rate in Central Virginia through their low-cost spay/neuter programs. State laws allow for immediate euthanasia of animals turned in to shelters by their owners. Animals wearing collars must be held 10 days before being euthanized and animals with no collars are held just 5 days before they can be killed. That doesn't leave much of a chance to find a good, caring home. PLEASE, REMEMBER, IF YOU MUST RELINQUISH AN ANIMAL NEVER NEVER ADVERTISE "FREE TO A GOOD HOME." This is a prime source for animals to be used for research, fight training, and other inhumane purposes. If you have any information about dog fighting or cock fighting please contact your local animal protection/control agency. To see the adoptable pets for Save Our Shelters click here Return to list
