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. |

North Country Animal League began as the Lamoille County Adoption Service in 1990. Founder Jan Gordon Stangel used her own funds to finance the service and found homes for nearly 150 companion animals in her first three years. With growing recognition of the thousands of animals needing help, Jan and the volunteers involved in her adoption service sought 501(C3) nonprofit status in 1994 and with this, Lamoille County Humane Society (LCHS) was born. During its first three years in operation, LCHS adopted close to 400 animals per year. In 1996, the board voted to change the name to North Country Animal League (NCAL). This name more accurately embodies the inclusive philosophy of everyone involved with our mission. With great support from the community, NCAL has adopted over 6,000 animals since 1994. Through the geneosity of local veterinarians, and support from volunteers and adopters, every adopted animal has been spayed or neutered. In 1999, NCAL became a "limited-access" facility, meaning NCAL no longer euthanizes animals in our care to make room for incoming animals. When our shelter is full, we maintain a waiting list. Since we conduct an average of 2 adoptions/day, kennel space opens weekly. NCAL will only euthanize animals due to terminal illness or for aggression that cannot be modified through behavioral training. Since we have initiated this policy, adoptions have increased and today the average stay for an animal in our facility is only 15 days.
