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. |

Save Our Strays, Inc. is a non-profit, humane organization whose mission is sheltering and finding homes for abandoned or homeless cats and kittens in Pinellas County Florida. During the fall of 1994, Dave Amick, Terri Gary & Sandy Dorton recognized the problems confronting the stray cats in Pinellas County. These friends decided to form a non-profit, humane organization whose mission would be to shelter and re-home abandoned and homeless cats and kittens. Thus Save Our Strays was formed. Shortly afterwards, BC Kiefner joined & became President. Save Our Strays became unique in Pinellas County as the only all volunteer organization which, as part of its mission, would accept every stray cat or kitten that needed help without prejudice to age, appearance, or health. The only reason an animal would be denied acceptance would be a lack of space and then the animal would be placed on a waiting list. Every animal taken into a Save Our Strays shelter home would be cared for until it was adopted. Euthanasia is not practiced for population control. It is a procedure that is performed ONLY under the advise and supervision of a veterinarian and only if in the best interest of the animal. Hard to place animals or those with special needs remain the ward of Save Our Strays if the proper adopter cannot be found. These animals do not live out their lives in cages. They live in the home of a loving foster parent who cares for that cat for the remainder of its life. As soon as there is available space in a shelter home, the cat is picked up by one of the volunteers. It is then given a thorough veterinary exam which includes a feline leukemia and FIV test, a fecal and a distemper shot. The cat is spayed or neutered and given a rabies shot if it’s the appropriate age and weight. All necessary medical treatment, including surgery, is provided. Once the animal is determined to be healthy, it is ready for adoption and placed in one of our adoption outlets, pet stores that donate space, or is taken to the Petsmart Luv-A-Pet Adoption Center. Save Our Strays also assists anyone who finds a stray cat and wants to give it a home. We offer a program, CAT (Care and Adopt Too), that allows the individual to use the services of one of our vets at a pre-determined fee. Since January 1995, Save Our Strays has medically assisted and adopted out 3800 (THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED) cats and kittens. This has been possible through the many volunteers who give their time and love to care for these animals. And to the generous contributors whose donations go directly to the medical treatment and care of the animals. We are proud of our accomplishments over the past 5 years and hope, with your support, to continue in our efforts to aid as many stray cats as possible. Thank you for helping us help the homeless and often forgotten strays that live among us. To see the adoptable pets for Save Our Strays click here Return to list
