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. |

Animal Shelter details for Amanda Connection, The
Please visit Amanda Connection, The and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Amanda Connection, The. Amanda Connection, The is located in newton, Connecticut. If you have information to add or update for Amanda Connection, The, please click here and let us know.
The primary purpose of Amanda Connection is to find homes for our wonderful charges - most of whom were rescued from horrible situations. Amanda Connection also finds ways to educate the public to help solve stray cat situations, including feral colonies; to promote kindness and prevent cruelty toward animals by teaching responsible animal stewardship; and to promote the importance of human-feline bond. The Amanda Connection was set up to serve those 'Last Chance Cats'. Sadly, these are the cats that were the least adoptable. They are the nitty, gritty, survivors that have impressed us with their indomitable spirits. We could not simply give up on these kitties! Now we have expanded to include dogs that are destined to die at kill shelters and cats/kittens who are homeless and friendly. Please check out all our animals. All we are asking is that you give them a CHANCE! We have many friendly cats and kittens that have been removed from unsafe environments or strays. The dogs only crime has been to be at the wrong place, a kill shelter usually for no other reason than their past owner was careless and didn't spay their female dog and they have too many puppies to deal with. Or worse still they let their dog roam and couldn't be bothered trying to find it. Adoptions Finding good homes for abandoned or feral pets is the primary purpose of the Amanda Connection. Since 1999 we have placed over 200 pets into loving homes! Pets that would otherwise still be roaming at large in our cities and environs, or pets that would have been put down. Foster Care People provide temporary homes for individual cats when the shelter is at maximum capacity, or when a cat needs to become familiarized with domesticity. We are always looking for foster families and will help with expenses. We currently have just 3 foster families in Connecticut. With more foster homes, we could accomplish a lot more. Sponsor-a-Cat We look for people who would like to provide financial support of an individual cat at one of our foster homes. In exchange, the sponsor receives a biography, photo, and periodic update from the sponsored cats. We encourage our sponsors to visit their cats and provide love and companionship.
