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. |

We pledge to always provide a comfortable, safe haven to all those creatures who find their way to us through abandonment, injury or mistreatment. No matter the health or age, for all these lost, confused, and frightened souls, we pledge to always provide loving care and sustenance, to acquaint those who have only known misfortune with the joys of cultivating new relationships. We believe in the right of all creatures to live secure, healthy lives and work tirelessly in our attempts to make this so. The Elmsford Animal Shelter houses some 500 dogs, ranging in age from 2 months to 16 years, both mixed and purebred. As well, our shelter is home to approximately 700 cats and kittens, ranging in age from young to senior, 8 weeks to 20 years. A collection of small animals also reside here - rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and hamsters. In the past we've been visited by parakeets, iguanas, snakes, prairie dogs and ducks. Since 1931, the goal of the Elmsford Animal Shelter has been to find permanent, loving homes for all those dogs, cats, rabbits, and assorted others who pass through our doors. In lieu of that, we provide sanctuary for as long as is necessary for those more difficult to place either due to age, health, or behavioral history. Each day presents a new challenge or a new beginning. Operating first out of private homes of volunteers, then to a quarter acre of property in tiny cottages, the Elmsford Animal Shelter is now the largest no-kill shelter in the tri-state area, located on 5 acres in a 46,000 square foot modern facility. We are a non-profit organization operating solely on donations, receiving no funding from city or state. We accept animals from every locale and turn no one away. There are those cats and dogs whose irresponsible owners tire of them once they become troublesome, sick, or in some way fail to live up to expectation. There are those belonging to desperate owners who find that they cannot be returned to the shelters or agencies from which they were originally adopted. There are the seniors whose owners have died suddenly or retired to nursing homes. There are the nameless, solitary wanderers who belong to no one and live off the streets in unsafe neighborhoods. We find them or they find us - in every state of health, every age, with every problem, every fearful, expectant or attentive look. We provide immediate medical care with a veterinarian on staff. We provide nutritious meals and a comfortable resting place. We provide them with a home for now, as we work toward and anticipate their well-deserved future.
