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. |

In 2000, a Jacksonville, Fl. video production company developed the idea of a TV show for their local humane society that would help increase the number of adoptions, and would provide a regular weekly broadcast voice for those who can't speak for themselves.....the animals. The production company that produced this show was Vandiver TeleVideo, Inc. and the shelter was the Jacksonville Humane Society. The Animals at Heart Pet Adoption Showcase has been on the air since July of 2000 and remains on the air today each week on two network affiliate stations and one cable channel. The Jacksonville Humane Society has reported an increase in adoptions of both showcased and non-showcased animals, increased donations, increased attendance at fundraising events, increased volunteers, and an improved outreach and public image in the community. As a result of public demand, the show eventually became more than "just a show". It first branched out to include the Animals at Heart Pet Loss Support Group, and then the Animals at Heart Compassion Fatigue Workshops, and finally the Animals at Heart Organization. In 2005, Animals at Heart took the final step and starting taking in unwanted pets and offering them for adoption through our Pet Adoption Showcase. The goal of the television show is simple. We want to put as many furry faces on TV as we possibly can so that they won't be put to sleep because someone didn't want them and the shelter has no room for them. The more cuddly faces we show, the more that get adopted, and the less that are euthanized. It's a simple goal, but one that is hard to accomplish alone. Shelters need our help, and we need your help. Most shelters barely have enough funding to cover the needs of their animals, and don't have money to spare on programs like this - no matter how many benefits it may provide. Therefore, we are asking for you to step forward and help. All funds donated to the From Heart to Home Fund become matching funds to shelters that help cover the production costs associated with producing an Animals at Heart franchise. Through this fund, shelters that otherwise could not afford their own Animals at Heart: Pet Adoption Showcase can start seeing their animals go home and the euthanizations decline. Through this fund, animals that have only seen the inside of a cage for the last six months will soon see the open expanse of a back yard that's all theirs, knowing there's a warm bed and loving family waiting for them in the house. Through this fund, animals that have never had the opportunity to experience the love of a family, will get a well qualified family to call their own for the rest of their lives. These animals didn't want to end up at shelters, and at Animals at Heart, we feel that its our responsibility to get them out of the shelter and into a loving family as soon as possible. Please help us do that. Your donations help to save the lives of shelter animals like the ones pictured below! Please donate today.
