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. |

Ardmore Animal Care, Inc. Animal Shelter is the animal shelter and education center for Ardmore and the surrounding communities. Humans are the ones who domesticated animals in the first place; we have an obligation to ensure their well-being. When the public fails to do that, the animal shelter must take over the responsibility. We are like child protective services, the police department, or the fire and rescue units. We exist because of people. Ardmore Animal Shelter promotes the humane treatment of all animals and receives 6,000 - 7,000 homeless or unwanted pets per year. Our shelter can house over 250 animals. On any given day there are over 200 animals residing at the shelter, most available for adoption. When you adopt a pet, you not only get a best friend, you save a life. During the year, we celebrate events such as National Pet Week and host pet adoptathons, carnivals, vaccination clinics, and obedience and agility classes. The shelter has numerous volunteer opportunities such as assisting with the socialization of animals by interacting with them through walking, petting, playing, grooming, and feeding. We rely heavily on volunteers to give the animals the extra love and attention our pets need. Volunteers also take pets on “therapy” visits to nursing homes and hospitals and can foster un-adoptable animals in their home. Due to an injury, being too young, or any number of curable reasons these animals’ lives can be spared by spending time in loving homes until they are available for adoption into a permanent home. The shelter also needs assistance with mailings, telephone work, or visiting special locations with adoptable animals. Your greatest gift could be a gift of your time. However, monetary donations and donations such as pet food, pet treats, kitty litter, towels, blankets, and cleaning supplies are greatly appreciated. The Ardmore Animal Shelter offers obedience and agility classes that are open to the public. You will learn to teach your pet to behave and trust you in the presence of other people and animals and learn some basic commands. If you are adopting a new pet, obedience classes are especially important in order to help him, and you, adjust to his new home with as little stress as possible. Refer to our Programs Page for more details and an enrollment form. There is no cost to surrender an animal to Ardmore Animal Care, Inc. Animal Shelter if you live within Carter County.
