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. |

People relinquish their pets for many reasons; other animals also become accidentally separated from their owners or are abandoned, and are brought to the Humane Society as strays. On any given day, we accept as many as 50 of these dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Each animal brought to the Society is given a physical examination, nourishing food, fresh water, and a warm, clean, safe, comfortable place to stay. There is a separate grooming room for the shelter animals. Volunteers frequently help by taking dogs for walks, playing with the cats, and otherwise socializing with the animals. Animals are kept at the shelter as long as possible, but room must constantly be made for more incoming cats and dogs. When there is no longer space for pets who have not been adopted, they are euthanized by swift, painless injection. The Humane Society encourages adoption of its animals by offering a complete package for a single low price, which includes the animal's spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations, a complete physical examination by an independent veterinarian, and a leash for dogs or a carrier for cats. The Society also does its best to make sure that its animals are adopted only to responsible, caring homes. All potential adopters are required to fill out a preliminary questionnaire and undergo counseling with a shelter employee before adoptions are approved. Animals from the Humane Society of Utah are also available for adoption on weekends at local PetsMart and Petco outlets. The same care and attention are given these adoptions as the ones processed from the shelter. To see the adoptable pets for Humane Society of Utah click here Return to list
