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 Arizona Humane Society is the state’s largest nonprofit animal welfare and protection agency. Annually, our shelter takes in more than 43,000 unwanted, sick, abused and injured animals. A private, nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization, we are funded by donations and do not receive any government funding. It is our mission to build healthy relationships between people and animals. AHS History at a Glance We were founded in 1957 as a private nonprofit organization by a compassionate group of volunteers who recognized the need to end animal suffering in our community. Our first shelter opened in the Sunnyslope area of north Phoenix with the goal of placing unwanted or abandoned animals in new, loving homes. We quickly became more than just a place for animal adoptions. Within the first year of opening, for example, the first ambulance began rescuing ill or injured strays, and our own television show, Pets on Parade, began airing, starring adoptable pets from the Shelter. We also added comprehensive humane-education and low-cost spay/neuter services in the community. We also recognized the need for animals to have a voice among lawmakers, so we began lobbying for new and better laws. Our successful campaigns include outlawing the heinous blood sports of dogfighting and cockfighting; setting standards that make pet-shop owners responsible for the sale of dogs and cats with physical defects and illness; elevating certain cases of animal cruelty from misdemeanor to Class VI felony status; and in 2004, winning approval for Arizona's first "animal friendly" license plate - the proceeds of which pay for spay/neuter services statewide. Over the years, we have grown rapidly in size and scope. For example, we established our Second Chance Animal Hospital™ in 1996 to treat extremely ill or injured strays, literally giving them a second chance at life. And, our Foster Care Program provides temporary homes for thousands of sick, injured or newborn animals every year as well as family pets affected by domestic violence and those whose owners have been activated by the U.S. military. Our Mobile Spay/Neuter & Animal Wellness Centers travel throughout the Southwest, caring for dogs and cats who most likely would not otherwise receive medical treatment. And, in an effort to end the problem of pet overpopulation, we provide low-cost spay/neuter services for dogs and cats owned by private citizens at both of our clinics. We continue to fight for laws protecting the rights of animals, and to enhance services to serve companion animals even better. After providing refuge for tens of thousands of homeless animals annually for more than 40 years, our Sunnyslope Facility needed a facelift … and we need a second shelter location. In 1998, we launched a capital campaign to renovate the Sunnyslope Facility and to build a new animal shelter that could house even more pets, programs and services. Animal lovers throughout Arizona contributed generously, and the Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion opened in May 2002. Today, both Shelters work together to achieve our mission of building healthy relationships between people and animals. Since we opened the Campus for Compassion, we have not euthanized a healthy, adoptable dog or cat because of lack of space, and we've enjoyed remarkable growth of our programs and services.
