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 Animal Refuge Center, in spite of its many struggles, has grown into a dynamic and ever-changing place. We are located in a ranch-style home in Vine Grove, KY that has been converted into a clean, well-run and neatly organized shelter facility. The cats have full run of the house and yard, and the dogs have a well-kept and spacious kennel area in which to run. The animals here do not have a feeling of despair, and they are friendly, willing and eager to go to new adoptive homes with people who will love and keep them. If that home is not found, they have the right to live out their natural lives here without the threat of death because there are not enough homes to go around. Our Mission The Animal Refuge Center firmly believes that spaying and neutering pets is the only way to keep down the growing pet overpopulation problem. Unfortunately, more and more pets arrive at ARC every day--whether they are older pets brought by folks who can no longer care for them, or brand-new babies in the world dumped at ARC by the boxful because someone said, "I don't need to have my pet fixed--why? It's not my problem. " To see the adoptable pets for Animal Refuge Center click here Return to list
