Jack Russell Terriers, Lurchers and Crossbreeds are among the most popular dog breeds to be rescued from animal shelters in 2020, according to new data from the Dogs' Trust.
"At the Dogs' Trust we see dogs of all shapes and sizes coming through the doors of our rehoming centres," a spokesperson from the animal welfare charity tells Country Living. "In 2020, the most popular breed we rehomed was the Crossbreed, closely followed by the Jack Russell Terrier and the Lurcher."
Following sad news that many people are rushing into adopting lockdown puppies, the team at the Dogs' Trust explain the importance of always doing your research. "If you're thinking of rehoming a dog, it's really important to do your research and look into which breed of pooch might suit your lifestyle," they say.
"When rehoming from us, lots of people have a preset idea about what sort of canine companion they would like to welcome into their lives. After speaking to our team of expert rehoming centre staff about the type of home they can offer and the lifestyle they have, often people end up rehoming a totally different breed to that which they thought they would – we've even had Chihuahua lovers rehome Greyhounds!"

rare amphibians :: Article Creator Conservationists Fight To Save Critically Endangered Amphibians As Trump Guts Endangered Species Act This week, conservationists from the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife teamed up with curators at the Los Angeles Zoo to preserve the critically endangered species. They trekked up to the pools carrying the endangered tadpoles and frogs in specialized temperature controlled backpacks. Although zoos and other wildlife organizations sometimes face criticism over concerns about animal welfare, breeding and raising an "assurance colony" in captivity can be one of the last recourses for an endangered species. These captive assurance colonies, which are organized by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plans, are breeding programs that ensure a species won't go extinct even if it does s...
cape file snake :: Article Creator Snake Seen Hanging Out Of Car Speeding On Highway (Gray News) – A driver in Alabama saw something unusual hanging off of a car while traveling on the highway. Mark Thorne recorded a video of a snake that appears to be hanging out of the underside of a car as the vehicle passed by him on the highway. He said he witnessed the strange occurrence while traveling on Interstate 85 before getting off on exit 62 for Auburn and Opelika. Thorne posted the video to Facebook and garnered a lot of attention and many comments. Many of the commenters expressed their fear and disgust at the idea of having a snake in their vehicle. "Omg.
