Hundreds of community members get involved each year, some who have adopted companion animals from HSHV, some that are volunteers or life-long donors, and still others who have come to realize that HSHV is a trusted and transparent animal welfare organization they can stand behind. We recently spoke to Sarah Douglas-Siegel, a third-year supporter of Walk & Wag, who formed a team called “The Best Things in Life are Furry”. Sarah told us about her passion for animals and why she looks forward to Walk & Wag every year. “I am a law student at Wayne State University Law School. I have always loved dogs and animal rescue has been a passion of mine since childhood,” said Sarah. “My spouse (and Walk & Wag teammate), Jonah, is a PhD student at University of Michigan. We have two rescue dogs, Dillon and Dakota. Dillon is a 6-year-old shepherd/pit bill mix, from a private rescue. He was rescued from an Ohio shelter as a puppy. He had medical issues from being kenneled for weeks without exercise but has since recovered after rehabilitation from splayed legs. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. Dakota is our rescue dog from HSHV. We adopted her on March 12 of 2011, she was about 6 months old then. She is the love of our lives- and keeps us on our toes, too. We have been fundraising for HSHV for a few years now and we are always excited to get involved to support the work you do. It really is one of my favorite days of the year!”
