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. |

At the Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) we know that lives are changed when people and animals come together. We experience this impact every day … in the smile of a child who has just adopted her first kitten, in the laughter of a senior citizen participating in our pet-assisted therapy program at an area nursing home or in the eyes of a dog rescued by one of our humane officers that has been adopted into a new loving family. Our mission is to make these positive healthy relationships happen. And we assertively act to prevent cruelties and promote responsible care for all animals. CAHS was founded in 1883 by two school teachers and several prominent community leaders dedicated to protecting animals, preventing cruelties and bringing empathy to society through teaching and advocating kindness for all. Their vision became the driving focus of what would become a reforming force in central Ohio. Our mission today remains the same; we envision a world where animals are respected and valued, and where the human-animal bond is strong. CAHS shelters thousands of animals each year, responds to more than 6,000 requests for animal cruelty investigations, places nearly 95% of adoptable animals, provides animal assisted therapy to children and seniors at area hospitals and retirement homes, teaches basic obedience skills through dog and puppy training classes and through spay/neuter efforts, prevents the unwanted birth of companion animals. CAHS has an on-site medical staff and veterinary clinic which provide care for both animals at the shelter and animals in our foster care program. All adopted animals receive basic vaccinations, rabies inoculation, testing for contagious disease, and all are spayed or neutered. CAHS has more than 1000 active volunteers, and, on any given week, nearly 125 volunteers will visit the animal shelter to do everything from walk dogs or cuddle kittens to update the website or pickup animals for attendance in a mobile adoption event. As a non-profit organization, CAHS relies on support from members and donors to make our programs and services available to the community. This support makes a difference in the lives of the many homeless, abused, neglected and abandoned animals in our care. We assist in preventing cruelties, including the ultimate cruelty – animal overpopulation. We bring to the community kindness, compassion and empathy for all living creatures.
