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 Foothills Humane Society, Inc. is a private, nonprofit organization supported by individual donations, adoption fees, fundraising activities and bequests. No government funds are provided for the construction or operation of this shelter. We are dedicated to sheltering stray, homeless and abandoned animals, and to placing healthy animals in appropriate homes. The Society also provides financial assistance to people in need through it's spay and neuter program. We also provide programs for educating the public in responsible pet ownership. In it's infancy a small band of dedicated volunteers struggled to do what they could utilizing halfway houses and caring, willing citizens. Daisy Hill Kennel in Campobello was leased to manage our shelter for five years. In 1987, anticipating an eventual shelter of our own in Polk County, Arthur Farwell donated to FHS eleven acres adjoining the Tryon Hounds Kennel on Little Mountain Road. This property was eminently suited as a site for our dream - a shelter owned and operated by the Society. The Foothills Humane Society went to the public for memberships and donations to construct the new facility, but above all, worked at various projects to earn money. It still does. Starting with a nest egg of $800 , and the generosity of caring local citizens, the Society was able to construct a prototype shelter of which we can all be proud. This was accomplished without any loans or mortgages on the property. Several years after the shelter was up and running, it became apparent to us that a crematorium was going to become mandatory for the success of our operation. This was accomplished, again totally with donations, and is operated for the convenience and benefit of private citizens.
