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. Affenpinscher Dogs Cute Fluffy and Funny When first taking a look at an Affenpinscher dog, most people cannot help but smile: its cute, fluffy, hairy appearance and the constant smile it seems to be wearing will cheer up just about anybody. Also known as the monkey dog, it is very suited for someone who has a sense of humor and for whom the entertainment factor is very important when buying a pet. Most of the time, the Affie (as some will affectionately call him) is in a very good mood and more than willing to put on a show to entertain his masters. |

"HI, I'M DILLON, AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR ANIMAL AID, I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE! I know, that's a dramatic statement, but it's true. When I was just a puppy, my tummy ached all the time, and I had to "go" a lot. Sometimes, if no one let me outside, I "went" in the house. So, my owners took me out in the car one dark night and abandoned me on a deserted stretch of road in the country. I won't bore you with all the unpleasant details about how desperately scared and lonely and hungry I was, or how I was taken in by some people who didn't really want me. Then, Cindy of Animal Aid found my real family (they didn't even know how much they needed me until Cindy called them!). They took me for a ride, too, but it was to see Dr. Woof, who petted me and praised me and gave me some medicine for my tummy. Here I am, almost a year later, healthy, happy (muddy from playplayplay in the rain!), and an important member of my own pack with my Man, my Woman, and my adopted Dalmatian brother, Domi. I still have nightmares about being on a dark road, scared, sick, and alone, but wake up wagging because I'm HOME. Thank you, Cindy! Thank you, Animal Aid!" WHAT IS ANIMAL AID? Back in 1979, a small group of dedicated volunteers got tired of hearing how "someone should do something" about injured, abused, and neglected animals in their area, so they banded together to be that "someone." Animal Aid was born. It isn't easy going out at midnight to pick up a stray dog who's been hit by a car, or trying to rescue a homeless cat with a new litter of kittens from an abandoned house, but these volunteers do it week after week, year after year. Animal Aid has no shelter, so some volunteers provide caring foster homes until adoptive families can be found. Animal Aid's entire funding comes from donations, memorials, and yearly events such as the Springtime Auction, the Mutt March in August, and the Christmas Open House/Raffle in December, but they still manage to provide medical treatment, innoculations, and spaying/neutering for all of the animals they help. Volunteers also find the time to try to educate the public on proper pet care and the importance of spaying/neutering all pets. Animal Aid volunteers have discovered that one person really can make the difference between misery and joy, death and life for an animal. And what does one animal matter in the grand scheme of things? Just ask Dillon! To see the adoptable pets for Animal Aid of SW Michigan click here Return to list
