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. |

German Shepherd Rescue is a growing group of volunteers committed to creating a second chance for German Shepherd Dogs that, for many reasons, are in need of new homes. GSR is a state licensed, NO KILL animal shelter based in the Chicagoland area. We are a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. Our income is derived from adoption fees, private donations and fund raising activities; all of which goes to care for the dogs. Marianne Perlman is the Rescue Coordinator for the group and is, herself, a volunteer. Other volunteers are involved in different aspects of the rescue effort, from foster care to home and shelter visits to phone calls. Since the beginning of GSR in 1995, we as a group help about 100 GSDs a year to a new and better life. All dogs must be current on shots, checked by a veterinarian and evaluated for personality and temperament prior to entering our program. Upon completion of the 'Dog Personality Profile,' a processing fee of $35.00 per dog will be assessed. Checks are to be written to German Shepherd Dog Rescue, Inc. Each potential adoptive home must complete a 'Foster/Adoption Application.' The intending adoptive home will initially foster the dog prior to the adoption process. This allows the family and the dog to experience a "getting-to-know-you" adjustment period. Each home and family are evaluated so the best possible placement can be made in the dog's best interest. Printed information about the German Shepherd dog is available to anyone who wishes to know more about the breed. It is highly recommended that first time owners familiarize themselves with the breed before fostering a dog. Also, we have an extensive training list that is available to anyone who may request assistance in this area. To see the adoptable pets for German Shepherd Rescue click here Return to list
