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. |

By definition, the word "solace" means "that which furnishes comfort or consolation." Coincidently, the Council Bluffs Animal Shelter volunteer group's acronym spells S.O.L.A.S. and although it is spelled differently, it provides the same thing for many unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals living in Council Bluffs. S.O.L.A.S. was started in 1993 by Mike and Mary Jones and a small, hardworking group of volunteers. The purpose of the group is to assist in the care and placement of the animals at the Council Bluffs Animal Shelter. S.O.L.A.S. is a 501(c)3 Not for Profit organization. Volunteer support has included painting the shelter, bathing and grooming animals, walking dogs, and providing foster care for animals who are either injured or too young to place for adoption. Members of the group also speak at various functions, promote public awareness and pet owner responsibility, and photograph animals available for adoption and place photos Petfinder.com and on posters in local stores. The group also encourages local support for such national events as the Doris Day Animal League Spay Day, the Adopt-A-Thon, and Be Kind to Animals Week. Finally, S.O.L.A.S. tries to provide financial assistance to the animals at the shelter. The members have several fund raising activities each year including craft fairs, selling candy bars, Santa Paws pictures, and other activities through out the year. The money raised is then used for such things as dry mats for the kennels, a bathtub for use at the shelter, a washer and dryer, dog and cat treats, stainless steel bowls and litter pans, cat cages for foster care, and medicine treatment for sick or injured animals. The money is also used to strongly promote spaying and neutering, since most of the animals at the shelter are the result of indiscriminate and irresponsible breeding. S.O.L.A.S. has many different areas in which to volunteer. Some of these include assisting at the shelter, foster care, publicity, or fundraising. Meetings are generally held the second Tuesday of each month with special activities scheduled as needed or required. If you would like more information, please contact Mary Jones at (712) 256-2287.
