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. |

On March 26, 1986, I placed a notice in the then "Evening News", which read, "Anyone interested in starting an animal shelter in Beacon, come to a meeting at the town hall on Main Street at 7:30 pm." That's all it took to start ARF! That night 23 people showed up and the labor pains began! All we had was an idea and childlike innocence. Everyone in the room owned at least one cat or dog, and that was the extent of our knowledge of animals. Of the 23 original people, 2 are still actively volunteering at ARF: Barbara Racic and me. The others have retired, moved out of state, or passed away. Well look at us now!!! I still find myself looking at the progress we have made and how great we have turned out. It all seems unbelievable, yet so true. The experiences we have had, the people we have met, the animals we have saved, the kittens & puppies we helped bring into this world, the animals which have died.....the tears, laughs, heartbreak...it's been quite a life for me. Probably the most amazing thing is that we are 100% volunteer (no payroll expense) and ALL of our money comes from donations. Now think about that...100% donations, with NO money from the city, county, or state. I love that! When I was a little girl, I don't think I ever said "When I grow up, I want to open an animal shelter," but I'm glad it happened.
