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. |

Founded in 1937 by Mrs. Elsie Beatty. Starting with a small contingent of animal lovers, Mrs. Beatty formed a board of directors and later that year, incorporated what is now The Halifax Humane Society. Through Mrs. Beatty's efforts the Halifax Humane Society soon became well known for helping homeless and wild animals in Volusia County, Florida. As our community grew, so did the need to expand our shelter. A "building expansion plan" was devised to address the needs of the animals at our shelter and the residents in our community. This project was broken into two phases. Phase I would accommodate more animals by doubling the kennel space and build a courtyard for potential adopters. Phase II would expand our spay/neuter clinic and provide a new adoption center for the public to meet and choose a new family member. Each year, the number of animals entering our shelter increased substantially. The need to start Phase I became urgent. In 1999, we successfully expanded our 64 existing dog kennels to 124 kennels. This bought animals a little more time in our adoption kennels. Always trying to find new ways to improve the situation for homeless animals in our community, we went to the public and had a survey performed in 2000. This helped to shed light on what direction we needed to go in order to reach the support of the public in spaying and neutering pets. From this survey a Spay/Neuter ad campaign was launched in November 2000 with a strong plea to help us end euthanasia of adoptable animals. This campaign lasted only three months, but was later proven effective in initiating some desperately needed community awareness! On a lighter note, we had a courtyard dedication to Mary Motley, an outstanding member of our board for many years. This new courtyard in her name has been a tremendous benefit to the animals in our shelter. HHS has become a much friendlier and inviting place for prospective adopters to come and spend quality time getting to choose a new family member. Currently, The Halifax Humane Society receives over 17,000 animals per year. As always, our goal is to salvage and place into good permanent homes as many of these animals as possible, but the number of homeless and abused animals in our community is too great. Each year during "cat season" we continue to see an average of 1,000 cats came in each month throughout this period (May thru August). To address this growing problem, HHS continues to promote and educate the public about the benefits of spay/neuter surgery for pets.
