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. |

Celebrating animals is our passion. The Humane Society of Greater Akron is dedicated to alleviating animal suffering, preventing and investigating animal cruelty, protecting the welfare of animals and providing quality adoption services. Today the Humane Society of Greater Akron focuses most of its resources on rescuing animals, restoring and maintaining their health and finding new homes for them. A second important component of our mission is providing community education. For example, we present classes in responsible pet care, animal behavior, our mission, and Humane Officer activities in Summit County. Audiences include schools, scout troops, churches, seniors groups, community organizations. We are available to local governments as trusted advisors on all animal welfare issues. Demand for our education services far outweighs our resources. Our objective is to obtain funding to expand education services for the community. The third component of our mission is providing outreach programs for the community. Our focus is restoring and maintaining animals to the lives of people who would befit from having animal contact and companionship. We recognize animals are therapeutic, so we want to make them available to people who are ill, disabled, incarcerated and lonely, needing companionship. We also recognize the value of animals in helping change behavior and in learning new skills. We actively supplement community programs for the disabled, community programs encouraging reading, character development programs and programs for the elderly. We need to greatly increase funding so we may expand our Community Outreach Programs. Vision: The Humane Society of Greater Akron aspires to be a model animal welfare organization reflecting the values of our community by eradicating abuse and neglect of all living creatures and promoting their compassionate care and adoption through collaborative efforts. Community education is the focus for achieving our vision. We intend to build a Center for Humane Education in Summit County. Through education we will fundamentally change animal welfare in our community. Once the community need is understood, resources will be made available. The Humane Society of Greater Akron’s major challenge is communicating the need effectively. To see the adoptable pets for Buckeye Samoyed Rescue click here Return to list
