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. |

In August 1992, a Candlelight Vigil was held at the Southern Maryland Tri-County Animal Shelter (TCAS), Hughesville Maryland, as a memorial to the thousands of pets killed there annually because of overpopulation. One outcome of the vigil was the opening of The Lucky Ones in 1993, as a low-cost spay/neuter clinic for all pet owners in Southern Maryland, and to rescue adoptable cats and dogs from TCAS, spay/neuter and vaccinate them, and place them for adoption. Our rescue program has expanded from 58 cats and dogs in 1993 to 1,137 cats and 152 dogs in 2003. Over 10 years, Lucky Ones has spayed/neutered almost 30,000 owned pets, and also rescued, spayed/neutered and placed for adoption over 13,400 cats and 1,800 dogs. Lucky Ones operates a licensed veterinary clinic, which is used solely for the low-cost spay/neuter and animal rescue operations. We do not provide any other veterinary services to the public. From its founding until the end of 2002, the clinic was housed in a donated trailer located on land provided free behind the Charlotte Hall farmers market, in St. Mary's County. In January 2003, we purchased an 1,800 sq.ft. facility in Charlotte Hall, right on the St.Mary's/Charles County border, just 2 miles from TCAS.
