HSHV Announces 2011 Arbor Research/HSHV Walk & Wag Celebrity Spokesdog Winner

The Humane Society of Huron Valley (Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105) has found the face of the 2011 Arbor Research/HSHV Walk & Wag dog walk and family fun day, to be held on May 21, 2011. Marie, a one-and-a-half year old pit bull mix, is this year’s Celebrity Spokesdog.

Marie and her brother Donnie were found abandoned on the side of the road. It took some time for both dogs to develop social skills and trust people again, but they came around quickly, with Marie taking the lead.

Marie has plenty of smiles to share!

Prior to her adoption from HSHV, Marie was one of the first dogs to go through the shelter’s MI-Paws Dog Training Program, where she spent 10 weeks receiving 24-hour care and training from two of the inmates at the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility.
