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. |

Kitty and K-9 Connection - A New Leash on Life is a pet rescue organization dealing primarily with dogs and cats. All pets have had medical check-ups, have been micro-chipped and vaccinated, and those 6 months or older are (or will) be spayed or neutered. Cats have been leukemia tested. Medical services are provided by Alaska Pet Care (3900 Lake Otis Parkway) and Alaska Veterinary Clinic (300 E. Fireweed Lane). If you are intending to adopt a pet, thank you for considering rescued pets from Kitty and K-9 Connection - A New Leash on Life. Our focus includes pets from Anchorage Animal Control, referrals from veterinary clinics, occasional sponsored owner releases (which are determined on a case by case basis and must meet specific criteria) and other community referrals. Our special focus will be to help provide pet placement services to local senior citizens to ensure their pets find loving homes if placement is required, or to provide temporary, discounted boarding services. The majority of pets in rescue are fostered in our homes and there are four of us. Cindy and Sue primarily do the cat/kitten part in their homes and Carol, with the help of her husband, Bruce, the dog/puppy part, though we have been known to do both. Our goal is to pursue their placement into permanent, caring homes. When that final match is made, we then make the "connection". The result is the pet has a new home and the family has a pet to love. Please understand there is an adoption process and fee. These fees are then turned around and used to help another pet in their medical needs, or towards the rescue of another unfortunate castaway from the Animal Control facility before their time is up. We are pleased and excited to announce that we have obtained our 501 3(C) non-profit status. All donations from July 1, 2002 are tax deductible. Our tax ID # is 81-0609673. Thank you to everyone who has been so generous to the Kitty and K-9 Connection critters. Without your donations, we could not assist so many of our fuzzy friends.
