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. |

Sylvia Renee Lyss, founder of F.L.O.C.K., and her volunteers go out on a regular basis, usually at night, to the casino back alleys and into the less affluent neighborhoods of Las Vegas to maintain "Feeding Stations" with water and food for a multitude of stray and wild cats. The purpose is to humanely trap and give the cats immediate vet care, neutering, and vaccinations. The cats are either adopted out or taken to the F.L.O.C.K. sanctuary to live out their lives in comfort for as long as they are with us. Sylvia Renee Lyss has devoted her life to helping stray and unwanted cats and kittens. She has been actively doing this work for over the last 30 years in Las Vegas. F.L.O.C.K. has a charter to care for approximately 150 cats at our Sanctuary, and we try to take care of about 600 more cats at the various "feeding stations" near the Strip area, downtown Las Vegas, and even Pahrump and other outlying areas. F.L.O.C.K. and all local shelters in Las Vegas are overwhelmed with unwanted pets. Best estimates indicate that there are thousands of homeless cats in the Las Vegas area, all as a result of human ignorance and cruelty. Too many people don't care enough to have their pets spayed or neutered, or they consider pets as a nuisance or as disposable "toys." F.L.O.C.K.'s mission is to save cats and kittens who are abandoned, unwanted, neglected, or lost and who would otherwise die of starvation, thirst, disease or injury. All the F.L.O.C.K. volunteers love cats and kittens regardless of whether they are cute, old, sick, cuddly, or crippled. Most of the cats and kittens in our care are healthy, and with F.L.O.C.K., they live in a secure and loving environment with future hopes of being placed in adoptive homes. However, those cats and kittens who are not so lucky, who suffer from various diseases such as feline leukemia, feline AIDS, upper respiratory infections, etc., can still live a full and happy life at the F.L.O.C.K. sanctuary where they receive the necessary personal and medical attention. The main purpose of trapping stray and feral cats is to neuter/spay and vaccinate, with a possible release into a safe wild environment. Where safe release is not possible, the cats are either adopted out or taken to the F.L.O.C.K. Sanctuary, where they receive the necessary personal and medical attention.
