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. |

On March 18th, after reviewing the true mission of our organization, the board of directors of the Humane Association of Wilson County voted unanimously to move in the direction of becoming a limited admission shelter. We have decided that we will not continue to euthanize healthy, adoptable dogs and cats to make space for more. We will continue to help as many pets as possible but will not become hoarders, overcrowded or keep an animal in a cage for years. The changes will allow us to adopt healthier animals, do a greater number of adoptions, improve staff morale, attract and maintain more volunteers and develop more proactive community programs. We will not use the term NO-KILL because we feel that it is misleading and offensive. We will still have to deal with euthanasia but on a much more limited basis. Because of a lack of animal control in our county in the past we felt it necessary to take on most of the animal related issues including the euthanasia of thousands of animals each year. Now that we have animal control programs in Mt. Juliet, Lebanon and Wilson County we hope to work together to achieve a common goal of eliminating the need to euthanize healthy pets to control the pet population. On April 1, we made our future plans known to the Wilson County Urban Types Facilities Board. The county is aware that they will have to make some changes to their current animal control program including accepting strays. An animal control advisory committee is being formed that will include a representative of our organization. We hope this committee will be the first step in working together as a community regarding pet related issues.
