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. |

Placing healthy, happy and well-socialized animals into excellent homes was the goal of a handful of animal lovers. As a result, Hearths & Paws was created to provide a safe haven for rescued animals awaiting loving, adoptive families. Our residents are mainly from neighboring shelters and rescue groups who are willing to work with us for the good of animals. Most are cats whose "time has run out", mothers with litters of babies, or orphaned kittens, whose proper care is particularly taxing for the short-staffed shelters to provide. Once we accept a new resident, he or she is guaranteed a home for life. After a thorough vet exam, all animals are tested, given necessary shots, spayed/neutered, and given any care necessary for them to be in tip-top condition. Afterward, they enjoy the "freemdom of the house" to sleep or sleep, play and eat in a cageless environment. Our prospective adopters visit by appointment only, and they must have excellent, verifiable vet references in order to be even considered. The adoptive animal must also be comfortable with them. If the adoption does not work out at any point in the future for whatever reason, the cat can be returned and the adoption fee will be refunded. This way we feel the companion animal will not be abandoned. In addition, Hearts & Paws has been responsible for the altering of over 300 other animals in the past year. We have handed out child-oriented educational materials in the schools, and assisted pet owners who have fallen on hard times, providing food and care for their companion animals. By the way, we are staffed by volunteers, no paid employees. We exist strictly by outside (public) donations and receive no government funding of any kind. With the publics help, we have rescued over 1900 cats in the last 6 yrs., and have spay & neutered and given medical assistance to countless others. Please help us to continue our mission.
