Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...Ainu The Perfect Guardian dogThe Ainu dog, also called Hokkaido dog, is named after the Japanese prefecture where it arrived 3000 years ago, when the Ainu tribe from the Tohoken region brought it along. With its straight forelegs, powerful neck, prominent chest and solid back, the dog is thin, muscular and fast - an important feature for those who would like to adopt such a breed. Due to its outdoorsy and inquisitive nature, it needs long daily walks and regular exercise to stay in shape. That is why this breed is unsuitable for living inside an apartment. Intelligent, watchful, eager to learn and very easy to train, the breed is suitable for hunting, but it also 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. |

This website is a collective effort by seven Southern Indiana Animal Shelters to increase the number of adoptions and decrease the euthanasia statistics in their communities. Good dogs and cats are dying because no one knows they are there, and because people are hesitant to visit an animal shelter. These animal shelters are city/county funded.* As a result, all the animals pictured here have a limited time at the shelter. Depending on the crowded conditions at each facility, each animal may only have 3 or more days before it must be euthanized to make room for the constant flow of new animals. PLEASE, if you see a pet on this website that touches your heart, don't wait. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THESE ANIMALS. Call the shelter or go visit the pet immediately. Most of these dogs and cats are wonderful animals who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many are pets that were no longer wanted by their owner for assorted reasons (some had good reasons; most didn't). Others are non-tagged pets that were lost and never managed to find their way home. Still others are strays who have never even had a dog house to call their own. Many of the puppies and kittens are products of irresponsible pet owners who should have spay/neutered their pets, but suddenly found themselves with litters that they couldn't get rid of. Many times, the animals in these shelters pay the price for the ignorance and irresponsibility of their human owners. Sadly, current euthanasia rates vary from 80% to 95% in these facilities. No dog with any known history of aggression will be pictured here. To the best of our knowledge, all are candidates for being your "forever" friend, loving and loyal. PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING A SHELTER PET - FOR THEIR SAKE AND FOR YOURS! It will be a decision you won't regret. If you have any questions for us, or if you are interested in volunteering at any of our shelters, please contact us today.
