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. |

Maryland Animal Advocates, Inc. (MAA) is an all-volunteer charitable organization. We are rescuing homeless and abandoned cats in the geographical area from Timonium to Annapolis, MD. Since Fall, 1997 hundreds of our rescued cats have received Complete Veterinary Care (Our Vet Care) at Eastern Animal Hospital under the direction of the incomparable Jonathon Kaufman, DVM. Eastern is a great supporter of MDSPCA, a most valuable metropolitan resource. We provide Our Vet Care for our tame rescued cats before placement in family homes. We ask a minimum $65 donation for adoption for these individuals. Dick & Ray provide medical care for the rescues in Anne Arundel County. Cats & kittens with veterinary care are adopted at $80 donation. Many abandoned cats return to a wild state when left outside for a long duration. Mommy cats can bear kittens who never know a human home. These two groups are often call "feral" or "free-roaming" cats. Whenever possible we transition these cats to a private property setting where they have safe shelter and daily care. However, responsible families with these barns and sheds are difficult to locate. In those cases, we practice TTVARM- Trap, Test, Vaccinate, Alter, Release and Manage. MAA provides complete veterinary care for these cats. We maintain these troupes of cats in their home area. These are called "feral colonies." MAA provides complete veterinary care for every individual from medical tests to baths, sterilization and vaccination. These troupes are visited everyday for feed and monitoring. MAA is a membership corporation open to the public. An elected Board of Directors consisting of five organization members governs our policies, operations and finances. From the beginning, MAA wished to embrace an egalitarian spirit among people. MAA does not have a president but, instead, has an Executive Committee consisting of three members of the Board. We have only two Officers: Secretary and Treasurer. Our by-laws prohibit Board Members from receiving a salary or wages paid by MAA. To see the adoptable pets for Maryland Animal Advocates, Inc. click here Return to list
