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. |

C.A.R.E. is the Community Animal Rescue Effort, a not-for-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the humane treatment of domestic pets through public education and active involvement with the abused and abandoned animals brought to the Evanston Animal Shelter. During weekday evenings and on weekends, the 100+ C.A.R.E. volunteers assume responsibility for total care of all Shelter animals. Each volunteer puts in anywhere from 3 to 30+ hours every week, both at the Shelter and in activities outside the Shelter, performing functions such as: * Walking Dogs * Exercising Cats * Cleaning cages and kennel areas * Bathing and grooming animals * Working with frightened, anti-social animals * Paying for veterinary care, inoculations, and vaccinations * Transporting animals to and from veterinary clinics * Working with veterinarians at the Shelter as part of a testing/inoculation program initiated by C.A.R.E. * Medicating animals as directed by veterinarians * Feeding & watering animals on evenings, weekends, and holidays * Washing bowls, toys, towels, bedding, etc. * Working with Evanston Animal Wardens as needed to comply with city rules & assure accreditation by the Department of Agriculture * Interviewing all potential adopters in-depth and then matching appropriate animals with adopters * Conducting all adoptions, filling out required paperwork, administrating follow-up program * Supplementing city food budget with volunteer funds to provide higher quality food for Shelter animals * Purchasing additional equipment not in city budget to maintain quality care for Shelter animals (including such things as cages, kennel fan, vaccine refrigerator, clothes dryer, etc.) * Conducting on-going fund-raising to raise monies to cover all expenses * Conducting community out-reach programs to educate residents on responsible pet care Volunteers are frequently called upon to take animals into their homes and "foster" them in times of overcrowding at the Shelter and when animals need special care. With only one visiting room, two washrooms, and a vestibule in which to introduce and show animals to prospective adopters, C.A.R.E. manages to find good homes for more than 700 cats and dogs each year. While the majority of animals adopted out are in the 2-5 year old range, a large percentage of the animals are older; and a very special goal of C.A.R.E. volunteers is to find loving homes for these older animals. Puppies and kittens make up less than 10% of adoptions. Without the gratis participation of C.A.R.E. volunteers, it would probably be necessary once again to euthanize the majority of animals brought to the Shelter -- because of insufficient salaried personnel to care for them and insufficient dollars to continue the programs and services that C.A.R.E. itself now funds.
