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. |

We are an all volunteer group organized to help the Coos County Animal Shelter. We provide needed items the County does not have in their budget, vaccines, wormers, spayneuter vouchers to families in need, KMR, flea treatments, some medical care, foster homes, off site adoptions to date 420 in 1 12 years, and transportation to other larger shelters, canines andor felines, to provide these animals a second chance at finding homes. We work out of our homes by reducing the animals in the kennels and cages. Our goal is to reduce the euthanasia in this County Shelter, by providing spayneuter vouchers to families in need. All euthanized animals come from one litter. If it had not been born then it would not have to be euthanized because of no homes available. We are present at all the local summer festivals and hold our weekly adoptions in Pony Village Mall in North Bend, on Saturdays 10-4. Our income depends on donations. This is different from the County Shelter who depends of the County for funding. Our adoption fees cover most of the medical care into the FOCCAS animals. This year every FOCCAS animal for adoption is not going to their new home unless they are spayed or neutered. We are altering animals at 8 weeks of age. This year we are also micro-chipping. We provide needed medical vaccines, worming, flea treatments. To see the adoptable pets for Friends of Coos County Animals click here Return to list
