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. |

Animal Shelter details for BARC St. Louis
Please visit BARC St. Louis and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for BARC St. Louis. BARC St. Louis is located in Fenton, Missouri. If you have information to add or update for BARC St. Louis, please click here and let us know.
BARC's home base is in Fenton, Missouri. However, we primarily rescue from the St. Louis City Pound, and from the general St. Louis Metropolitan Area, encompassing St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Jefferson County, Missouri. BARC rescues, fosters, cares for and places homeless animals in the St. Louis Metro Area. We are a non-profit 501C3 all volunteer group dedicated to animal welfare. BARC is very diversified in its efforts. We have fostered, cared for, and placed over 5,000 homeless animals since 1997. We opened and operated the first puppykitten nursery at the city pound from 2001-2004. BARC is the proud recipient of grants from PETsMART Charities, Nestle Purina, Sea World Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, and DJT Foundation. Due to these generous grants, and additional funding from our donors, BARC has been able to provide over 2600 free spayneuters for pets of low-income families since October 2003. Our free spayneuter program is open to anyone who can provide proof of financial need. We impose no residency restrictions with our spayneuter efforts as we know animals need to be fixed no matter where they live. BARC does not traditionally hold adoption events, nor do we regularly attend PetSmartPetCo Adoption Days. We feel that animals behave much more like their true selves while in the environment they have become accustomed to. Because of this, we list the telephone number of the foster parents with each advertised animal, and have potential adopters contact the foster home directly. At that point, meetings are arranged at the home, or at a local park - whatever works best for everyone involved based on schedules, and locations. We find this to be a much more agreeable arrangement for animal and adopters alike. The non-negotiable adoption fee for animals adopted through BARC is $125. This covers our costs of rescue, medical and general care, fostering, and spayneuter surgery. We also provide the first two sets of shots and dewormer for puppies and we do all of the same plus front-foot declaw our kittens. BARC adopts out to INDOOR HOMES ONLY, and we do not transport or ship animals. We require that adopters pick up animals in person. We do require that a BARC Adoption Application be filled out by potential adopters. The application is available via email. Just call the phone number listed in the advertisement of the animal you are interested in and we will forward the application to your email address. It's a fairly straightforward, simple form that will only take a moment of your time. After meeting the foster family, the animal, and falling in love with your animal, filling out the application, and everything being approved, the adopter pays the $125 adoption fee - by CASH of MONEY ORDER - and, providing that the animal has already been spayedneutered, you take home your new precious pet to live happily ever after in your home.
