Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...Choose the Airedale Terrier as a Pet and Say Good-Bye to Boredom“The King of the Terriers”, the Airedale terrier comes from Airedale, Yorkshire, England, and it is the largest of the terrier breeds. It comes from crossing the old and vanished breeds of the Black-and-Tan terrier with the Otterhound. It is also said that they have the Manchester terrier in their blood. They were initially bred to hunt otters (reason for which they are also called the Waterside Terrier) and hares in the valley of the Aire river - that also gave its name to the breed - and to herd sheep, being both shepherd and hunting dogs. The Africanis Dog From the South African Plains to Your Home Dog breeders do not officially recognize Africanis as a breed. Also known as the Bantu Dog or the Zulu Dog, the breed developed in South Africa and it is basically comprised of similar breeds that are originally from the area. However, dog historians have acquired enough evidence to conclude that, originally, the breed lived in the East and Middle East and migrated to Africa in ancient times. The Zulu Dog is a perfect companion for people, whether we are talking about more traditional activities like hunting or herding, or simply about the pleasure of having a dog companion. The Afghan Hound Elegance and Distinction If the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show. The Aidi Dog A Perfect Watchdog Of Moroccan origin, the Aidi dog evolved as a watchdog for herds of goats and sheep. For this reason, it has heightened senses that are very good at detecting threats and its instincts are perfectly in tune, resulting in a speedy and efficient reaction. These characteristics are also perfect for a hunting dog - so it is also very good at filling that role. Very courageous, this breed has evolved in the Morrocan mountains, protecting itself and its owners from many vicious predators like wildcats, but also from strangers. Also called the Berber (it was commonly used by Berber tribes), this breed is very similar to Pariah dogs - to which it is believed to be related. |

Every year we have a kitten season, which runs from March to as late as November depending on weather. The Amador County Animal Shelter houses and takes care of as many kittens as space permits, and many people in our community at animal control, the veterinary clinics, the humane society, and shelter volunteers work very hard to try to give these previous lives a chance to be adopted and find a forever family. Even with all of us banding together and working as a team, using both the county and humane society financial resources, the sad truth is many kittens will have their tiny lives cut short due to being separated from their mother too early, exposure to diseases from other cats and kittens, being exposed to the elements and having their core body temperature drop too low before being found, etc. It is not desirable or natural for infants of any species to be separated from their mothers and grow up in small cages! This needless suffering can be ended if we just spay and neuter our pets, and ideally widen the net if we can to include strays and ferals on our properties. A-PAL has financial aid programs to help low income cat owners, and also has certificates to offset the surgery cost of spay/neuters for both dogs and cats that belong to any Amador County resident.
