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 New Mexico Chapter of FELINES & FRIENDS was formed in 2001 following the relocation of the VP - Administration from Los Angeles to Santa Fe together with her husband and 5 cats. The California Chapter has a long and prestigious history, including formal recognition from Los Angeles City Council. For more information and to view a copy of the "Resolution", please visit www.felinesandfriends.org Once settled in to their new home, Bobbi and Doug spent time looking at what the needs of the area were, and found that vets needed help with placing abandonded and relinquished pets. In addition, the Espanola Animal Shelter needed more representation in Santa Fe. Despite its name, this shelter is not a typical city facility. It is a 501(c)(3) and derives only a small portion of its funding from a contract with the City of Espanola. However, the area that EAS is responsible for equals that of the State of Connecticut! The NM Chapter of Felines & Friends helps EAS by fostering special needs cats, such as kittens who are too young for placement or need to be socialized, and adults who have health or behavioral issues... most of which can be resolved with loving attention and time. Felines & Friends relies solely on donations and 100% of funds collected are used for the vet care and supplies for the cats. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization and gratefully accept donations of any amount, which are tax deductible. To see the adoptable pets for Felines & Friends click here Return to list
