Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Akita InuThe Akita Inu (or the Japanese Akita) is one of the largest Spitz breeds and is distinct from the American Akita, according to some experts. The main difference between the Akita Inu and its American counterpart mostly consists in the color accepted by dog associations. This is why some specialists do not even consider that there should be two Akita breeds but rather only one, to include both the Inu and the American Akita. The Alano is a Guardian with a Heart of Gold The Alano Espaňol (or Spanish Bulldog) is a molosser, which is a large and solid dog. The dogs are over 23 inches tall (58 centimetres), with the females being a little bit smaller. They weigh 75–88 lb (34–40 kilograms) on average and can live up to 14 years. Originally from Spain, the Alano Espaňol has a large head, with a short muzzle and a very large nose. Since it is a strong breed, with thick skin and short hair, it was once used in Spanish bullfights. The Akbash Dog The White Guardian Dog Turkey has two native dogs: one of them is the Av Kopeği – a hunting dog, and the other one is the Akbash dog, also known as the Coban Kopeği - a solid, white livestock guardian dog, similar to those bred in the Mediterranean basin. The Coban Kopeği dog is docile, even friendly with the livestock under its care, but dominant and sometimes aggressive with the potential predators. It requires sensitive owners who can understand canine behavior and who are able to assume the pack leader status over their dogs. Ainu The Perfect Guardian dog The Ainu dog, also called Hokkaido dog, is named after the Japanese prefecture where it arrived 3000 years ago, when the Ainu tribe from the Tohoken region brought it along. With its straight forelegs, powerful neck, prominent chest and solid back, the dog is thin, muscular and fast - an important feature for those who would like to adopt such a breed. Due to its outdoorsy and inquisitive nature, it needs long daily walks and regular exercise to stay in shape. That is why this breed is unsuitable for living inside an apartment.

The Humane Society of Napa County and SPCA – now known as “Napa Humane” – is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1972. Formed in recognition of the need for a higher standard of animal care in Napa County, our founders worked closely with the principal municipal animal services agency at the time, advocating for more humane treatment of homeless animals in their care. Our founders began, in part, by offering a spay/neuter referral service – the first of its kind in the county – and by doing so, took its first steps in making a significant impact on the problem of pet overpopulation. Through the years, the organization grew and flourished, adding lost and found services, a shelter for adoption built adjacent to the County Animal Shelter, and humane education to its program offerings. And, in 1990, the Society acquired a completely equipped veterinary clinic on California Boulevard in Napa, converting it to a high-volume, affordable spay/neuter clinic. Then, in 2001, the organization was notified that the Napa River Flood Control Project necessitated the razing of its shelter, along with the County’s municipal shelter. The County was able to immediately rebuild a large and modern shelter with public funds – the Humane Society modestly compensated only for its structures as we merely leased the land on which they rested. However, this seemingly devastating blow to the organization truly resulted in strengthening it. Since the loss of the shelter, we have taken the opportunity to take a critical step back to carefully and strategically plan for our future. We have breathed new life into the organization by authoring new mission, vision, and values statements, and closely examined all fiscal and internal practices to ensure the long-term viability of Napa Humane. Recognizing the companion animals are an important part of healthy communities, we’ve grown to consider Napa Humane a community service organization. Our programs and services are designed to address the needs of animals – and also to provide support, education, and assistance for all the people who care for and about them. We invite you to join us as we rededicate ourselves to the important work of improving the lives of homeless animals and to celebrating the human-animal bond.
