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. |

Colorado Horse Rescue (CHR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing shelter, care, rehabilitation and adoption services for abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted horses. CHR provides equine education classes for adults and children. We rely primarily upon donations for our support. Because we believe in the humane treatment as an alternative to slaughter or public auction for abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted horses, Colorado Horse Rescue’s primary purpose is the prevention of equine abuse. A common, but unacceptable option exists for rejected and maltreated horses – the killer market. Typically, the transportation to slaughter houses is extremely inhumane, thus perpetuating animal cruelty. Countless horses suffer compounded pain and misery, as well as death, before arriving at their fatal destination. CHR is a refuge offering a second chance at life for these horses. CHR accepts horses from owners who wish to relinquish ownership for various reasons, including financial hardship. Many of these surrendered horses are healthy and are merely in need of a new adoptive family. We obtain legal ownership of surrendered horses accepted into our guardianship with the goal of placing them into suitable adoptive homes. We search for and examine potential adoptive owners for horses in our custody. The Adoption Committee conducts interviews with potential adopters and schedules meetings with candidates to acquaint them with the horses. The adoption policy of CHR adheres to a successful process in which potential adopters are thoroughly screened. Every effort is made to match a horse with a compatible new owner or family that best suits the horse. Since 1986, CHR has successfully placed 1,200 horses in adoptive homes. When legal action is taken by the State Veterinarian, local and other authorities because of maltreatment by the horse’s owner, we serve as a shelter and provide care for these legally impounded animals. CHR is dedicated to providing urgent care for horses in peril and medical treatment for emaciated and/or injured horses. We assist legal authorities in resolving equine abuse cases and participate in the rescue and urgent care for horses involved in natural disasters or emergencies. The Education Committee develops and provides education classes on equine care and handling with the purpose of preventing equine abuse due to negligence and ignorance within the community. Because Colorado Horse Rescue employs only three paid staff members, we enlist the skills, diligence and expertise of a large team of volunteers that devote their time to feeding, grooming and exercising the horses, and cleaning stalls. As well as being responsible for the daily tasks of caring for the horses, volunteers work together in other area of the organization, including fundraising, special events, education, adoption and facility maintenance.
