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. |

Pets are turned-in to Atlanta area animal shelters with alarming regularity. In 2003, there were over 138,000 animals impounded as strays or dropped off by irresponsible guardians at the various county animal control facilities. Unfortunately the general public has very unrealistic ideas regarding the fate of these animals. So often those involved in animal welfare will hear, "Oh... someone with a farm and lots of land out in the country will adopt him and he'll be so much happier than he was with us." This is a fairy tale. While some of these animals will be lucky enough to be adopted or rescued from animal control, the majority will die. Since 1998, SPOT has been collecting and analyzing statistics gathered from Atlanta area shelters in order to identify trends and pin point areas where public education might make the greatest difference. The results are sobering. Although there have been improvements in some areas, Atlanta area shelters kill almost 87,000 dogs and cats each year. While this number is down from a high in 2001 that reached over 93,000, pet overpopulation in Atlanta is still a problem of epidemic proportions. More pets are killed in Atlanta area shelters than in the entire country of Great Britain, New York City or the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon or Washington. Most of the pets that enter Atlanta shelters are family pets that have become lost or have strayed from home, but without an ID tag the shelters have no way of identifying them. The Causes of Overpopulation Please help us help the homeless pets and prevent more from becoming homeless by spaying and neutering all of your pets, by keeping an ID tag on your pets twenty four hours a day seven days a week, by adopting rather than buying a pet and by making a commitment to keep your pet for its entire lifetime.
