Bandanas Helps Asheville Humane Society

Asheville Humane SocietyIn January 2007, the Asheville Humane Society took in about 35 Australian terriers as part of a cruelty case. Bandanas donated grooming services to get these dogs ready for adoption. Bandanas' groomer/owner Sharon Wood, assisted by Humane Society volunteers Larry Sherman and Barry Silverstein, groomed all the dogs. Bandanas donates grooming services to the Asheville Humane Society on a regular basis. Bandanas also donates a portion of sales and all tips to help the society purchase Nylabones, playpens, and other much-needed items for the animals. To adopt a dog or cat from the Asheville Humane Society, please visit: www.ashevillehumane.org.


Dog "Factoids"
  • Over 30 percent of the households in the U.S. own dogs, and there are over 53 million dogs in the U.S.

  • 73 percent of U.S. pet owners say they would go into debt to provide for their pet's well-being.

  • The AKC's Canine Good Citizenship Program teaches dogs good behavior.

  • While chewing dog food, bones, and biscuits keeps dogs' teeth healthy, dogs need to have their teeth brushed occasionally. Many dogs dislike canine toothpastes, however. Try putting some food that your dog likes on a canine toothbrush, available at most pet stores, and brush the teeth gently. This will help keep the teeth in good shape.

  • Dogs have "feathers" too! When hair hangs down on a dog in fringes, it is known as feathering. Certain dogs look naturally good feathered, such as the Irish setter.

  • The Guinness Book of World Records reports that the tallest dog in the world is a Great Dane, Harvey, who is 41-1/2 inches tall.
