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 The Pet Connection
Please visit The Pet Connection and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for The Pet Connection. The Pet Connection is located in Mission, Kansas. If you have information to add or update for The Pet Connection, please click here and let us know.
The Pet Connection, Inc. is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter located in the Kansas City metro area. It's our intention to form a no-kill coalition by educating the public, providing spayneuter and other pet owner services, and to find homes for unwanted and abandoned animals. We are providing realistic approaches to animal health and animal training to a wide range of people in varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Being role models as animal-caretakers is the only way to teach society what is really required to own a dog or a cat. We consider ourselves a teaching humane society. Hopefully everyone who leaves our facility has a better understanding of approach, care, and at least witnesses that being homeless doesn’t have to be so destitute. That as caretakers there is something better in between. Most families cannot feel good about placing their pet in a traditional shelter setting, especially if euthanasia is a risk. We are trying to appeal to the true animal lovers, those that want to have an alternative to the “pound” when they die, find a pet on the street, or when they have some circumstances that disallows them to own their pet any longer. They can relax knowing that wrap around services and follow up systems have been put in place to give the pet a best possible chance at hisher new home.
