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. |

Since 1985, Because You Care, Inc. has dedicated all efforts towards rescuing stray dogs and cats. These orphans, considered disposable items, are half starved, frightened, sometimes abused and often ill. They are trying to survive in an uncaring world. Our volunteer organization rescues strays and abandoned pets in Erie, PA and surrounding areas. All of our pets receive necessary veterinary care, including vaccinations and are spayed or neutered at our expense at the appropriate age. Pets are kept in volunteer foster homes, not in a shelter, with all expenses paid by BYC until they are adopted into new homes. All potential families are screened and interviewed. We try to match the personality of the pet to the characteristics of the adoptive family. We also check to be sure that all pets in the home are spayed or neutered and have current shots. The prospective home is visited and if it seems a good match, the pet is placed and the family signs an agreement to keep the pet indoors, maintain his/her vaccinations and provide a good home. Pets are visited after placement and representatives maintain contact to deal with any questions or problems that may arise. We ask a donation of $50.00 for our cats and $65.00 for dogs. While this in no way reimburses us for the total cost of care, it does help offset some costs. To see the adoptable pets for Because You Care Shelter, Inc. click here Return to list
