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. |

The Grant County Humane Society is committed to providing shelter and care for disadvantaged cats and dogs. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization (= tax deductible donations) building a community that treats cats and dogs with kindness and respect. We are strictly a volunteer organization. Donations, contracts with county, city and township governing bodies, and memberships comprise our "income". We like to subsidize spays and neuters if we have the funds from grants to pay for them; we set up "clinics" or set designated days. We have a small office where we keep our cats, but the dogs are kept at 2 different foster homes. We have no set office hours but a 24-hour answering machine and call forwarding. To encourage adoptions, we are willing to travel and meet you half way (up to 60 miles) so you can pick them up. We have a "trial" period during which we hold your check or cash for the adoption fee. During this time, we make periodic check-ups. When the time limit is reached (or before) you may formally adopt the animal and we bank the money or you return the animal and you receive the money back. Returned animals must be in at least as good condition as when you received them. If the animal is lost or killed while in your care, you forfeit the fee. We do charge the State's 6.5% sales tax.
