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. |

C.H.A.R.M., Cat Help And Rescue Movement, Inc. was born in a meeting of some like minded ladies at an animal rights meeting in Phoenix, AZ.. Although they all shared a love and respect for all creatures, they perceived a very definite need in the community for a group that would help the millions of cats on the streets. At that point the only group helping was ASPCA and they would pick up and deliver to shelters. The animal rights group gave exposure to a thing called fix and release used with great success in England. C.H.A.R.M. duplicated this process and was the first group to perform fix and release of feral cats in Maricopa County history. This still on going activity is entitled Project Street Cat. Our major program is Project Street Cat; which we initiated in 1990. This project involves doing one fix and return site after the next. It also includes follow up in these areas. Fix and return means we go to the residence or business that has called us and trap the feral cats there. The cats are brought to a full service veterinary clinic where they are checked for disease, spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and upper respiratory viruses, and microchipped. We have used the AVID microchip system since 1994 with tremendous results. We get our animals back when they end up in shelters or clinics and are able to track problems in our areas in this way. This year alone 36 animals came back to us through the use of microchips. We work only on a donation basis and the need is much greater than our current resources as there are several million cats on the streets or Maricopa County. We have been in business for 12 years and depending on funding have spayed and neutered averaging 500 animals a year.
