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. |

Countryside Animal Rescue is a group of local citizens concerned with the welfare and treatment of dogs and cats in Madison County and surrounding areas. We believe education and other outreach programs will heighten awareness of pet over-population and animal health care needs in our community. Thousands of dogs and cats are unwanted or abandoned each year. Our belief is that all pets should be spayed or neutered to reduce the number of discarded pets. Our education commitment is to promote a stronger understanding for the necessity of proper care, medical treatment, training and the costs of pet ownership. Countryside Animal Rescue offers initiatives and resources to coordinate low-cost spay/neuter programs and clinics, along with seeking financial support to those pet owners that may not be able to afford traditional methods. Through our educational programs and outreach ventures, we focus on issues that may prevent the process of pet owners ultimately choosing the undesirable options of abandoning or no longer wishing to keep their pet. Unwanted pets eventually become the responsibility of animal welfare groups or government agencies that are overburdened with these dogs and cats. Countryside Animal Rescue works with a network of foster homes to provide care, housing, food, medical assistance and behavioral training for dogs and cats in need. Our foster program provides a loving, caring ‘home’ environment as an alternative to kennel conditions in shelter facilities utilized by some animal welfare groups. Our foster program enables our funds to go directly to the animals’ needs rather than incur expenses for the overhead of maintaining a structure and its associated costs. Our adoption programs and placement services assist in locating pets that will be life-long match to insure a forever home for a dog or cat. We offer lost and found services, pet identification and other programs to reduce the number of stray, lost or homeless pets. Countryside Animal Rescue is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization operated solely by volunteers and primarily on the kindness of our donors and members Our Mission The mission of the Countryside Animal Rescue is to serve, regardless of breed, the lost, unwanted or mistreated dogs and cats in Madison County, Indiana and surrounding areas. * We believe that every dog and cat deserves a loving, nurturing home. * We believe that pets should be spayed or neutered. * We believe that euthanasia should be used only as a last resort when it is no longer possible, through medical or behavioral treatments, to provide a quality of life. * We believe public education is essential to strengthen and maintain the bonds between animals and humans. * We believe that all animals and humans are best served when treated with dignity.
