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. |

The Humane Society was conceived and is promoted in an effort to prevent cruelty and inhumane treatment of animals, furthering the age-old bond between people and animals, for the betterment of both. The Clayton County Humane Society is a "no-kill" animal rescue facility, operating in the southern metro-Atlanta area. We provide a loving, caring environment to our animals until permanent placement in adoptive homes can be achieved. NO ANIMAL IS EVER EUTHANIZED TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER. While in our care, animals are provided with shelter, nutritious food, medical care for illness and injury, preventative vaccinations, and all animals are sterilized prior to adoption. Though the care of our animals is our main priority, we also feel that it is important to educate the public, primarily children and young people, regarding the importance of humane treatment of animals. To this end, we have created an in-school educational program. We visit several thousand school children each year, and response from both the students and teachers has proven our school program to be a success. We have also implemented a pet therapy program with local nursing homes, visiting several facilities each month. During these visits, patients are treated to hands-on interaction with animals from our shelter. We have both dogs and cats eagerly waiting for adoption to suitable and loving homes. All of our animals are vet checked, have all of their shots, are tested for Heartworms, Parvo, Feline Leuk/Aids. All animals are spayed or neutered before being adopted. We do it all for you - After you adopt your new pet you have nothing to do but love them, care for them, let them be your companion and build the bond.
