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 MCSPCA, founded in 1973, is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. We are independent, locally based, and funded completely by donations. We receive no financial support from the ASPCA or from any federal, state, or county government agencies. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, all funds go directly to helping the animals in our care. Your donations are tax-deductible. Also, please remember us in your will. When you're gone, your kindness can live on through a bequest to the MCSPCA. We will continue to provide loving care for needy dogs, cats, and other animals through your generosity. We generally hold cat adoption open houses every week at local Petco or PetsMart locations. Appointments can also be arranged to visit our adoptable cats at other times. The MCSPCA facilitates dog adoptions through referrals. We also maintain a list of dog breed rescue organizations for people who are looking for a particular breed of dog. Our veterinarian provides comprehensive medical care for the MCSPCA cats and kittens until they are adopted. The adoption fee also includes spaying or neutering. Many of the cats that come to us need special attention. They may need socialization, medical care, or just some extra TLC. We also periodically get litters of very young kittens that need to be fed every few hours. Through our Foster Care Program, we place these animals temporarily in volunteers' homes. The animal gets the extra attention it needs to become adoptable and the foster family gets the rewarding experience of watching an animal thrive because of their love and care. The MCSPCA runs the area's lowest cost spay/neuter program for dogs and cats with the help of participating veterinarians in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. In two easy steps - a call to the MCSPCA and the mailing of your payment - you can obtain a certificate for spay/neuter surgery at greatly reduced cost. The MCSPCA has facilitated thousands of spays and neuters since we pioneered this program over 20 years ago. We consider it to be one of our biggest success stories.
