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 Charlotte Edkins Animal Adoption Center opened its doors to animals in need and to all of Northwest Montana in July, 2004. The animal adoption center is operated by the Humane Society of Northwest Montana. The location of this new and wonderful temporary home for the animals is 3499 Hwy 93 N., 2˝ miles north of the large traffic intersection of Hwy 93 N. and West Reserve Drive in Kalispell, Montana. The center sits in a convenient spot between the busy towns of Kalispell and Whitefish. On the east side of the highway, it is highly visible and easy to find. Look for the yellow Humane Society sign out front. Located in the beautiful Flathead Valley, the Humane Society of Northwest Montana serves a population of approximately 75,000 people. Flathead County is a rapidly growing area as people from other parts of Montana and other states come here to be part of the friendly and laid back atmosphere of a northwestern community that loves its mountains, wildlife and natural places. Visitors to the Flathead often comment on how welcome they feel and how renewed they are by the end of their stay. Yet although northwest Montana is an incredible place to live, some aspects of life here are not as happy, safe and comfortable as we would all like. The pet overpopulation problem is a serious one here in the Flathead Valley. The suffering brought about by abandonment, abuse and neglect of animals is a tragedy which diminishes the peaceful life we cherish as human beings. We believe you'll agree with us that the number of animals euthanized each year in our community - over 1,500 annually - simply for lack of available homes, is unacceptable. We believe that with your help, every homeless dog, cat, puppy and kitten in our community can find love and protection. That's right, every one. We invite you to join our effort to find loving homes for 100 per cent of them. The new animal adoption center is a safe haven which makes it possible for all of us to work together to end the destruction of healthy animals in our home towns. We hope you will visit our site often to view the pets that are waiting for homes, and to learn about the many opportunities available to you for helping save these wonderful animals. Our secure donation site is an easy place for you to make a gift that makes an important difference in each animal’s life. You can also find out about volunteering with us, and about fostering animals with our program. We will keep you updated on events and other news….all to provide the great shelter, medical care, food, and extra loving care for the animals who come to the Charlotte Edkins Animal Adoption Center.
