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 ATA Foster and Adoption Program has fostered and found permanent, loving homes for over 2,000 dogs and cats. Many of these are "special needs" animals needing expensive surgeries, medical care, or behavioral training. ATA believes that all animals are special, and the dogs and cats live in the homes of foster parents until they find the the perfect family. ATA does not return any animals to the shelter or euthanize them if they are not adopted. In addition, all ATA animals are spayed or neutered before adoption, and receive the most complete series of tests and vaccinations. For more information about the Foster and Adoption Program, please call (512) 450-1504. Surgical sterilization of dogs and cats, commonly referred to as spaying and neutering, is an immediate and humane solution to end the crisis of animal overpopulation. ATA is committed to ending overpopulation by making affordable sterilization surgery for dogs and cats accessible to the general public through our Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic. Our clinic provides high quality services at affordable prices to approximately 8,000 dogs and cats each year. Since March 1997, the ATA Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic has spayed and neutered over 60,000 dogs and cats, thus preventing the birth (and possible death) of hundreds of thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens. The clinic is staffed by an experienced veterinarian, qualified veterinary technicians, staff and volunteers. For more information about the Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, please call (512) 450-0111. Since June 2002, the ATA Wellness Clinic for Animals has provided vaccinations and testing for over 50,000 dogs and cats.
