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. |

Animal Shelter details for The Pet Connection
Please visit The Pet Connection and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for The Pet Connection. The Pet Connection is located in Mission, Kansas. If you have information to add or update for The Pet Connection, please click here and let us know.
The Pet Connection, Inc. is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter located in the Kansas City metro area. It's our intention to form a no-kill coalition by educating the public, providing spayneuter and other pet owner services, and to find homes for unwanted and abandoned animals. We are providing realistic approaches to animal health and animal training to a wide range of people in varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Being role models as animal-caretakers is the only way to teach society what is really required to own a dog or a cat. We consider ourselves a teaching humane society. Hopefully everyone who leaves our facility has a better understanding of approach, care, and at least witnesses that being homeless doesn’t have to be so destitute. That as caretakers there is something better in between. Most families cannot feel good about placing their pet in a traditional shelter setting, especially if euthanasia is a risk. We are trying to appeal to the true animal lovers, those that want to have an alternative to the “pound” when they die, find a pet on the street, or when they have some circumstances that disallows them to own their pet any longer. They can relax knowing that wrap around services and follow up systems have been put in place to give the pet a best possible chance at hisher new home.
