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. |

“Chesed” indirectly translated means “loving kindness”. Acts qualify as “chesed” when they are motivated by a spirit of generosity, not obligation. Understanding the need for us to face our responsibilities and to work on behalf of those who have no voice and cannot help themselves, Chesed Foundation was created in the name of kindness and compassion towards helpless animals, without expecting anything in return. Chesed, unofficially started over ten years ago, is a non-profit organization, predominantly dedicated to matching unwanted dogs and cats with new owners. Through Chesed’s free “Match-a-Pet” program, not only have many animals been spared the horror of shelters and euthanasia, but their human companions have enjoyed the myriad of pleasures involved with adopting and loving a devoted and lifelong friend. Chesed is also dedicated to helping pet owners through crisis situations which otherwise would have led them to surrender their pets, thereby adding to the ever-increasing pet overpopulation. A large part of our dedication to animals includes educational programs for children. Our programs aim to increase our youth’s awareness of animal responsibility, cruelty and overpopulation. In addition to our adoption and education programs, we manage a “Crisis” fund aimed to assist monetarily in whatever way we can. This fund helps with bills associated with pets’ medical and training needs, helping those less fortunate or those on a fixed income to cope with the ever-increasing cost of pet ownership, and veterinary and boarding bills, among many others related expenses. Please see the many links related to our desire to face our responsibilities. Our upcoming events may be of interest to you and your family. We would very much appreciate your donations, volunteering or fostering – see our "Please Help" page. If you wish to adopt or foster any of our animals, please check out our “Pets for Adoption” page. Thank you, and a big thank you from the animals whose lives you helped save! To see the adoptable pets for Chesed Dog and Cat Rescue click here Return to list
