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. |

The Alabama Animal Adoption Society (AAAS) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization which was founded in 1977 by a small group of people whose primary goal was to help solve the problem of strays and unwanted pets in need of loving homes. A program of mobile pet adoptions was begun, and on two Saturdays per month , opportunity was provided for showing animals in a convenient location. These adoptions were held in local shopping malls where trained volunteers could help to interview the public and try to match each pet to the most suitable home. In November 1982, the Society purchased a headquarters building which is now known as the Center. Since then, AAAS has been holding adoptions in this facility, which is two blocks west of 18th Street in the heart of Homewood. Adoptions are held every weekend, with the exception of some holidays, for the purpose of adopting animals to responsible homes. Adoption might seem like a strange term to use for our process, but we are like an adoption agency. When we schedule an animal to be shown at our weekend adoptions, we try to determine if it is good with children and other pets, if it is house-broken, and in good health. Additionally, adult animals have been spayed or neutered, or can be immediately scheduled for altering. Puppies and kittens can be taken with their adoption papers to one of our for altering when they are old enough - usually at six months of age. This is done at no charge to the new owner. The small donation we ask for each animal at the time of adoption (usually $50.00) is tax-deductible, as a contribution. We strongly recommend to all pet owners that they get their pets spayed or neutered, and we offer a spay/neuter program where any pet owner can come in and purchase low cost spay/neuter certificates. These certificates can be taken to any of our and their pets altered at no more cost to the owner. Because there are times when people need help placing either their own pet or a stray. We are more than happy to work with them and will help them place their pet in a good home. To see the adoptable pets for Alabama Animal Adoption Society click here Return to list
