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. |

Welcome to ARFS! Animal Rescue and Farm Sanctuary is located in Trego, Wisconsin. We are a non-profit tax exempt organization that is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of farm animals, primarily horses. Since our efforts began in 1998 we have been in several news segments, seen on Animal Planet and been in several newspaper articles. Animal Rescue and Farm Sanctuary is also the recipient of the Jefferson award and the Caring Tree award given for volunteering and outstanding involvement in the community. Over the years we have encountered and studied several issues regarding animal abuse and neglect ranging from puppy mills, the exotic trade and horse slaughter. We have chosen to become most involved in horse rescue because of the high demand for it in our geographical area. All types of animals have been accepted into ARFS over the years including a few buffalo calves, zebu, watusi, ostrich, emus, llama, donkeys, mules, potbellied pigs, parrots, and the common mixed variety of dogs and cats. We offer animals for adoption at all times. Potential owners must call us on the phone as a part of the adoption process. Potential owners are required to come and meet the animal that they have interest in. If they do not make a positive connection we may have a more suitable animal on the farm that would fit their needs better. Our goal is to place animals in the proper homes according to the animals needs. Adoption fees for horses range from $100.00 to $800.00 depending on age, health and dicipline. Adoptions can be out of state and we prefer that the new owners provide transportation. We will transport for a fee within a reasonable distance if we have time in our schedual.
