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 Amarillo Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amarillo SPCA), a nonprofit organization, is a small group of hard working individuals who volunteer their time and efforts to the welfare of animals in our community. In November of 2003, the opportunity presented itself for us to reopen in a building located at 800 W. 3rd. The Amarillo SPCA rescues and provides veterinary care and adoption services for abandoned animals. We are a no-kill organization, which means we provide boarding and health care for each dog or cat until he or she is adopted. Currently, our shelter is home to over 40 dogs and 20 cats, with many animals on our waiting list. Much of our income pays for the cost of operating the shelter and providing medical care for the animals until they can be adopted. The Amarillo SPCA is funded wholly by private contributions, fees from animal adoptions, and annual fund-raising events such as Muttfest and Santa Paws. The Amarillo SPCA is not affiliated with the National SPCA and we receive no funding from them. We depend on the animal lovers and concerned pet owners in the Amarillo area to support our efforts. Donations made to the Amarillo SPCA provide much needed help to animals in our community. As well as accepting monitary donations, we also invite anyone who is affiliated with a particular animal welfare organization, specialized pet-owner group, or any business that is in the service of animals to contact us so that we may tell the public about your organization or business. We do, however, respectfully decline to list any breeders or to promote breeding services as it is not in alignment with our mission of curbing the pet overpopulation crisis.
