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 Second Chance Animal Refuge Society (S.C.A.R.S.) was established in June, 2001 to provide a safe haven for dogs in the Shawnee County area. S.C.A.R.S. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), no-kill, Animal Refuge Organization, located near Topeka (click ‘Contacts’ above for more location information). The facility has an underground containment fence enclosing 25 of the 50 acres. Three separate chain link areas, all containing dog shelters, provide for the health and well being of the animals. Additional enclosures and shelters will be added on an as-needed basis. The dogs have access to three ponds on the property, aiding in their exercise requirement. S.C.A.R.S. provides veterinarian examinations to all new dogs immediately upon arrival. During this examination the rescued animal’s health is assessed, any required emergent testing and treatments are performed, and an appropriate diet is established. An assessment of future needs, including, but not limited to, spaying or neutering is also performed. All immunizations, except rabies, and other prophylactic treatments are given by Terry and Maureen Cummins, or properly trained and supervised volunteers. Many animals have special dietary and grooming needs which must be addressed and monitored. We maintain a constantly updated inventory of all needed food and supplies, based on our ever-changing family of rescued dogs. A full suite of grooming equipment is maintained on premises, and we retain a few volunteers who assist in grooming and socializing the dogs. It is our primary mission to find permanent, loving and healthy homes for our rescued dogs, or temporary accommodations until a permanent home becomes available. Upon arrival, we assess adoption potential and begin socializing - training the animal to be placed in a responsible home environment. Due to abuse, neglect, or physical limits, any and all special requirements specific to a particular dog must be taken into account. After determining the best course of action, these special needs are dealt with utilizing available resources. We attempt to find the appropriate home for each dog, interviewing interested individuals, explaining any special needs, and making a home visit to meet the family and assess the viability of the situation. After placement, we provide continued support and follow-up via telephone, email, and on-site visits to ensure that the animal is integrating well into the new family. We regularly respond to calls from friends, neighbors, and people familiar with S.C.A.R.S. concerning neglected or abused animals. We also work closely with area animal control agencies, notifying them in initial abuse cases, and then following-up to assess whether or not the needs of these animals have been met.
