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. |

Our No Kill initiative was started in 2000, with the commitment of the Board, staff and community. Since this commitment to life was established, we have saved the lives of almost 2000 animals each year. As we are a Non-profit, Non-tax supported facility, the Butler County Humane Society is dependent upon private donations for survival. The staff and the volunteers at the Butler County Humane Society are deeply dedicated to caring for the animals who come through the shelter doors, and their love and caring help the shelter animals through their initial stages of confusion, fear and loss. All shelter animals have been through some difficult experiences. Losing their former home and ending up at a shelter is not an easy thing for any animal to go through. In addition to the bewilderment of finding themselves in our kennel, they often initially display signs that they are grieving for former human companions. The routine of the shelter, while not the same as a loving home, helps the animals adjust to their new situation. But even with our very best efforts to create an environment where the shelter animals feels safe and are not unhappy, being in a cage in a shelter is a difficult experience. The Butler County Humane Society, through its' training and foster programs, helps the animals begin to understand what is expected of them in their interactions with people. Mostly what they need is your patience, understanding and time to adjust to their new surroundings. To see the adoptable pets for Butler County Humane Society click here Return to list
