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. |

Philadelphia is the nation's fifth largest city, with three animal shelters: Morris Animal Refuge, PSPCA and Philadelphia Animal Care and Control. In 2003, nearly 45,000 animals were surrendered to Philadelphia shelters: 14,000 animals were adopted and 28,000 euthanized. An estimated 5 million homeless cats and dogs are killed each year in U.S. shelters, but cities like New York City have found successful solutions to the problem of pet overpopulation through collaborative efforts of the city, animal control and local animal welfare groups. Around the U.S., animal shelters that also perform animal control services have committed to the no-kill philosophy. These successes have served to attract millions of dollars in private sector funding. Thousands of conventional and unconventional funding opportunities exist for new and innovative community spay-neuter and adoption programs which have vastly improved animal welfare in other cities. The Alliance for Philadelphia's Animals is an organization formed with the goal of guiding a coalition of animal welfare organizations to support homeless animals through: Supporting efforts of rescue groups, shelters and animal control to reduce deaths of shelter animals in Philadelphia through innovative adoption programs. Increasing spay/neuter surgeries of pets by involving private practice veterinarians. Private funding for community collaborations designed to reduce and eventually eliminate the killing of cats and dogs in shelters by increasing spay-neuter surgeries and adoptions of healthy cats and dogs.
