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 Castaway Cats
Please visit Castaway Cats and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Castaway Cats. Castaway Cats is located in shelton, Connecticut. If you have information to add or update for Castaway Cats, please click here and let us know.
When notified of a population of feral cats that are being fed by a caretaker, we intend to trap each cat, have it neutered, vaccinated, permanently identified as being neutered by tipping the left ear, care for it during recovery from surgery, then release it back to the caretaker who will continue to provide food, water, and shelter for the remainder of the cat's life. We will remain available to the caretaker should one of those cats become ill or injured, or should a new cat join the colony and need to be neutered and vaccinated. If, during the course of trapping, we come upon a cat that is too old or too disabled to be released outdoors, we will attempt to rehabilitate the cat. If rehabilitation is not possible we will have the cat humanely euthanized only if that is deemed to be the best solution for the cat. We intend to eventually have a permanent refuge for feral cats that are unable to be safely released where they came from. Should we trap a kitten or cat that has the potential to be adopted into a home as a family pet, we will make every effort to socialize that cat and find it a safe home after it has been neutered and vaccinated. In addition to our work with feral cats, we would like to establish a shelter/adoption center for homeless cats awaiting adoption. Each of these cats would also be neutered and vaccinated prior to being placed with a new family. Unlike most shelters, we would not turn away cats who are disabled or geriatric for any reason other than lack of space to house them. We intend to specialize in the cats that no one else wants, i.e. "castaway cats". This would be a "no-kill" shelter, which means that no cat will ever be destroyed (unless it is suffering from a severe, untreatable medical condition). Because of this policy, and because we intend to take in geriatric and injured cats, there will undoubtedly be some cats who will end up living their last days in our shelter. We intend to have an extremely comfortable, non-stressful, clean, cat-friendly environment as opposed to the small cramped cages that most shelters offer.
