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. |

Fox Valley Humane Association was created in 1929 by a small group of concerned citizens. During the first 20 years, the members cared for stray and unwanted animals in their private homes and accepted no public funds for their work or services. Fox Valley Humane Association's original name was the Outagamie County Humane Society (OCHS). In 1949, the City of Appleton turned its dog pound over to the society. The City maintained the building; the society ran the business. By 1951, the animals had a new shelter built next to the city sewage treatment plant on the Fox River. Eleven years later, the shelter moved again, this time next to the Mackville landfill. Construction of the present facility, located at 3401 West Brewster Street in Appleton, began in late 1982 and was completed in March 1983. Finally, a shelter with neither sewage treatment plant nor landfill anywhere in sight (or within smelling distance!). In the Spring of 1989, the humane society held a special membership meeting to change the name of the organization. On May 7, with the organization's best interests at heart, OCHS became the Fox Valley Humane Association, Ltd., in order to better reflect its status as a full-service humane organization that serves the entire Fox River Valley. Recognition of FVHA's achievements came in the form of the Standards of Excellence accreditation from the American Humane Association in 1993. FVHA is the only humane organization in Wisconsin with this status. As of 1999, FVHA cares for 3000 to 4000 animals every year, and provides services to 34 municipalities. Our annual budget is more than $382,000, and of that, 82 percent is used for program services. To see the adoptable pets for Fox Valley Humane Association - Administration click here Return to list
