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 a group of volunteers who exist solely to help abandoned cats and dogs in Connecticut! It is the dream of every member that SOMEDAY we might have our own shelter and care facility for these animals, but until that time we operate on a day to day basis, helping wherever we can, whenever we are allowed to, in any way we can. We count in our members Lawyers, Engineers, Secretaries, Veterinarians, just people from all walks of life who share one common interest, Our dogs are rescued primarily from shelters in Connecticut, and many of our cats are rescued from the streets. Our animals have either been discarded, lost, or abandoned by their former families. They may be hungry, cold, sick, injured, pregnant, or they may have lost trust in people and are frightened. We give them fresh food and water, and place them in temporary foster homes. There they are given loving care and slowly they regain trust in humans. Some of our dogs and cats are sick or injured, and considered "unadoptable" due to the extra care they require before they are ready for adoption. We provide them with the necessary medical care they need so that they can go on to lead a happy and normal life All our animals are health and temperament screened before being adopted out to a permanent home. Our goal for each and every animal we rescue is to help them become happy and healthy, and ultimately to help them find a permanent, loving home.
