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. |

Most people think of a shelter as a very sad place. But, it's the best place that most of the animals have ever been in! We provide the animals lots of food, water, warmth, and safety. If we cannot place them in responsible, loving homes, we assure that their deaths are gentle. We provide all of the shelter dogs and cats with needed vaccinations (except the rabies shot, which is given by a veterinarian to the ones adopted) and they receive deworming treatment at least once. All of the animals received are given treats, toys, a variety of foods, medical care as needed, kindness and attention. Each year, we receive about 4,500 dogs and cats and about 200 other animals, including wildlife, livestock, exotic pets, and other small pets. We never have (and never will) turn away any animal. We offer year-round spay/neuter assistance to residents of Danville and Pittsylvania County. We make it easy too! The only guideline is that a certificate must be obtained before the surgery is scheduled. We maintain a lost-and-found registry for pets. To help reunite lost pets, we also provide identification tags. We provide humane education programs to schools, youth groups, churches, clubs, and civic organizations. We share with others information about pets, pet care, responsible pet ownership, and humane treatment of all animals. We conduct abuse and cruelty investigations in Danville and Pittsylvania County. We work with both the city and County animal control officers to provide a full range of services for stray, injured, and lost animals. In cooperation with area veterinarians, we provide medical treatment for sick and injured stray animals.
