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.

Animal Shelter details for Volunteer Humane Society Please visit Volunteer Humane Society and adopt a homeless pet
You have reached the shelter page for Volunteer Humane Society. Volunteer Humane Society is located in lancaster, Massachusetts. If you have information to add or update for Volunteer Humane Society, please click here and let us know.
The Volunteer Humane Society as we know it today began in the early 1970's when a concerned animal lover, Gail Burton of Harvard, Massachusetts, began to care for stray dogs and cats in an empty barn on her property. She, along with other people that she recruited, cared for the animals there, and attempted to place them in new homes. In 1974 this small group of dedicated people founded and incorporated the Volunteer Humane Society (VHS) as a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for stray and abandoned animals.
In March, 1988, the VHS moved into it's current shelter at 505 Center Bridge Road in Lancaster, Massachusetts. In 1992, using a grant from the Marguerite Doe Foundation, part of the shelter was converted into a much improved medical area in which incoming and sick animals are evaluated and cared for.
At present the shelter houses anywhere from 30-50 cats. In addition, as many as 20 animals are also under foster care in various homes of volunteers.
