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.

The Washington Area Humane Society is a no-kill shelter, funded solely by private contributions, takes in more than 4,000 animals and investigates 700 abuse cases annually.

The No Kill Shelter Conundrum

When people find out that this is a no kill shelter they sigh with relief. The reality is that what makes this a feel-good public policy is also what makes it even more difficult to maintain.

The shelter has 36 kennels for dogs and when overcrowded, dogs have been temporarily corralled in the office, the supply room and even the bathrooms! When our animals are not quickly adopted and there is no more room at the inn, deserving dogs like Randy, the cocker spaniel whose owner died, or Bear who was adopted a year ago but came back because his owner suffered a stroke cannot be taken in. As a result, good Samaritans who pick up a stray or rescue an animal from a neglectful home find that they have to turn the animal over to an alternative shelter where their existence has a time limit.

Ours is not a haven for pets � it�s a humane prison. Please understand that without your help in adopting these pets, and in donating money and supplies for their ongoing care that the consequences for many other animals are grim.

Of course, the best of all worlds is if pet owners everywhere would commit to neutering and providing responsible care and training for their pets. That would reduce the burden on all shelters and the payoff is a long, satisfying relationship with their loyal, loving companions.
