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. |

We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible adoption of homeless pets. We rescue more than 90 percent of our homeless pets from ten Southwest and South Central Michigan pounds. Once safely in our care, we restore our pets to health, treating a wide variety of medical problems. All our pets are sterilized and brought up to date on required vaccinations. When ready, we place our pets in responsible and caring homes, using an effective screening process. The SPCA of Southwest Michigan is a registered 501c3 non-profit animal welfare organization. We receive no public funding. Our operating budget derives from private donations and the service fees we charge at the time of adoption. Over the years, we have begged and borrowed to provide the critical shelter space that has driven our growth. We began operating in the Spring of 2002 in an unheated barn on private property in South Portage, operating only in the warm weather months. When winter came, we installed a portable heater to continue to rescue pets. After a short stint in another, much more comfortable private kennel space in 2005, we leased a former bagel factory in Kalamazoo beginning in April, 2006, at 219 Peekstock Drive. We operated out of this until January 2010. But this facility was fraught with problems—primarily in the lack of floor drains and in poor ventilation, both of which contribute to the transmission of disease. We therefore launched a capital campaign to build a new shelter in January 2008. Our new pet rescue center at 6955 West KL Avenue in Oshtemo Township is now open and serving the Southwest Michigan community. The campaign to finance this building project is ongoing. We have seen strong adoption results over the last eight years, with a cumulative total of 8,731 adoptions as of December 31, 2009 2002 8 months only 528 adopted animals 2003 701 adopted animals 2004 930 adopted animals 2005 1,037 adopted animals 2006 1,265 adopted animals 2007 1,518 adopted animals 2008 1,342 adopted animals 2009 1,410 adopted animals 2010 through July 746 adopted animals The SPCA of Southwest Michigan is one of the largest and most productive pet rescue organizations in the State of Michigan.
