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. |

The purpose of the Clay County Humane Society is "the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, and the extension of humane education." The Clay County Humane Society is a private non-profit animal welfare organization, which was established in 1978. Initially our service to the community was the operation of a small shelter for abandoned dogs and cats, which provided veterinary care, sterilization, and adoption into suitable homes. During that time we operated the shelter, the proliferation of unwanted dogs and cats ultimately resulted in a euthanasia rate at the County’s Animal Control facility of approximately 10,000 animals per year. It became obvious that while our shelter work was worth while, a more aggressive approach to the pet overpopulation problem was needed. The Humane Society responded by opening the area's first non-profit animal clinic where Spay/Neuter surgery and other basic veterinary care was offered at substantially reduced rates. We also began to expand our education programs and encourage people to take advantage of the low rates to have their pets neutered.
