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. |

Space Coast Feline Network (SCFN) was founded in the mid-1990s to care for the feral cats at Kennedy Space Center. Previous to that time, KSC's Roads and Grounds personnel would periodically trap ferals in the inhabited/work areas of the Center and transport them offsite to a county shelter where they would be euthanized. As is true in many operations such as this, not all of the cats were trapped so the remaining ones would breed to fill the space left by the ones that had been killed. In addition, feral cats from other areas of the Center would move into the inhabited areas since that is where the food is located. The problem would resurface every couple of years and more cats would be killed. Employees who wanted to see a more humane solution asked to be given the responsibility to manage the feral program, including trapping the cats, taking them offsite to have them spayed/neutered, given rabies vaccinations, and then returned to KSC where they would be cared for. NASA management gave approval for this program and also gave the volunteers an abandoned building on the Center to keep the cats in. The building has no electrical power or running water so volunteers must deliver water by hand to the site and do all work during daylight hours. It is not the best situation for the few volunteers or the cats. In 1997, new KSC management asked that the cats be removed from the Center instead. They did not give a time limit on when it had to be done, just that progress needed to be made to do so. That is when SCFN incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in the State of Florida and obtained its IRS 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization. The club also began efforts to raise money to purchase property near KSC on which the cats could be relocated. When SCFN received a grant for $10,000 from the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the search for property began in earnest.
