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. |

Animal Shelter details for Pine Belt Animal Rescue & Adoption Center
Please visit Pine Belt Animal Rescue & Adoption Center and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Pine Belt Animal Rescue & Adoption Center. Pine Belt Animal Rescue & Adoption Center is located in lumberton, Mississippi.

Pine B.A.R.C. is a no-kill adoption center located on an 80 acre farm in Lamar County, Mississippi. We currently house more then 80 dogs in large fenced in areas. We are working toward getting the funding necessary to remodel the existing barn to house the dogs in indoor-outdoor runs that will be heated and air conditioned. We also have plans to build a room suitable to house cats and kittens but at this point we depend on foster homes to house the cats and kittens. If you are interested in learning more about the cat or dog foster care program please contact us. In addition to dogs and cats we are also set up to house hamsters and other pet rodents, rabbits and other small furry animals like ferrets, snakes and other reptiles and pet fish. We feel that preventing the births of the animals before they occur is the solution to the problem of overpopulation and strays. One of our main goals here at the rescue center is to set up a free or discounted spay/neuter program for all cats and dogs in our target area. Although we recognize the need for organizations that euthanize millions of animals every year we feel that by focusing on preventing those births we will greatly reduce the numbers that other organizations are forced to euthanize every year. We currently are working on getting several different grants that could help make this possible. Private donations and volunteers are also needed to help make this a reality. We spay and neuter all dogs that are of age before they are adopted out but sometimes it is necessary to offer a voucher for discounted alterations. Most veterinarians in the Hattiesburg area offers half price spay and neuters to your adopted pet and we work with the Friends of Animals-Mississippi, 228-216-SPAY to insure the animal is altered. We also go to schools and other organizations and educate them on the necessity of having all animals altered. One of our goals is to get Lamar County to set up Animal Control as required by law and to uphold existing Federal and State animal cruelty laws and to enforce them and provide funding for the housing and care of these animals. If you would like to help us petition the Lamar County Board of Supervisors in this matter please contact us. We need volunteers to help right this wrong before the homeless animal situation gets any worse in Lamar County. This is not only an animal rights issue it is also a health and safety issue for the citizens of Lamar County. All dogs are kept up to date on shots and all other necessary medical attention. We work closely with Dr. Tom Ricks at Town and Country Animal Hospital in Hattiesburg and the director, Dianne, has a background in veterinary medicine and animal care. We are a non-profit public charity as defined by the I.R.S. All financial gifts are tax deductible. We are also incorporated as 501-C3 incorporation To see the adoptable pets for Pine Belt Animal Rescue & Adoption Center click here Return to list
