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 Lewis County Humane Society's mission is to prevent cruelty and abuse in Lewis County and to provide education on humane treatment of animals to both adults and children of Lewis County. The Lewis County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated on May 7, 1915. The purpose at that time was the prevention of cruelty to the animals of Lewis County. At the same time, the Lewis County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was also incorporated. Its purpose was the prevention of cruelty to the children of Lewis County. On May 26, 1915, a motion was made to consolidate the two societies, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and that consolidated society be known as The Lewis County Humane Society. The main purpose of the Society remained as the prevention of cruelty along with the support of humane education in the schools. The humane education bill was sponsored in March of 1917. On July 25, 1957, the Society was contracted by the Board of Supervisors of Lewis County for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals in Lewis County. In 1979, the change in the New York State dog control laws required every town to have a Dog Control Officer. With this new law, dog problems were able to be effectively handled. However, Dog Control Officers were not legally able to handle the ongoing problems with stray cats. After having been rendered inactive for several years, it was agreed that the Lewis County Humane Society needed to be reorganized. In this way, an Animal Control Officer would be able to deal with the stray cat problem. Controlling the stray cat population would also help prevent the spread of rabies. The Humane Society was reorganized on July of 1996 with James D. Hanno as president. This was achieved through the efforts of Mr. Hanno, Susan Wright, Nancy Hemmerich, and Cliff Cook. On November 22, 1996, Mr. Hanno passed on to manage the Great Shelter in the sky. Even though he can't be with us in body, his great love for animals and his spirit and guidance will always be with us. The purpose of the Society is to provide a humane way of handling the cat and dog overpopulation in the county. Its mission also is to prevent animal cruelty and abuse in the county by aiding in the enforcement of the State's cruelty laws and by Humane Education in the schools in Lewis County. The Society will support spay/neuter programs to help reduce the overpopulation of companion animals. Facilities Since 1998 the Shelter has been undergoing almost constant expansions and upgrading. With the increasing number of cat problems in the early 1990’s, many cages were added. The facility, at that time was known as Whispering Pines Boarding Kennel and Shelter. Cliff Cook had built, owned and managed the facilities up until this time. In 1998, Cliff donated the Shelter to the Humane Society. At that time, a separate cattery was built. By doing so he hoped that there would always be a place for the animals needing a place to stay until they find their owners or a new home. Cliff, Ingrid and their family continue to operate the shelter with the assistance of a devoted group of volunteers.
