Year after year, attendees at our Critter Ball bid in a live auction to crown their pet as the SPCA mascot. Last year SPCA supporter Beth Marcus won the 2011 SPCA Mascot opportunity, and then gifted that recognition to my dog Mason. Beth wanted to acknowledge Mason for his good work helping other animals.
Mason is a twelve year-old pit bull with his Canine Good Citizen certification. After a tough start in life, Mason came to live with me when he was two years old. Since that time, Mason has been the foster brother to hundreds of dogs and puppies. His foster siblings have included a paralyzed Shih Tzu, an aggressive German Shepherd and her 11 puppies, many young adult dogs with behavior problems, dogs terrified of people and litter after litter of puppies. With unruly youngsters, Mason taught discipline and appropriate behavior. With his calm and confident presence, Mason assisted in the rehabilitation of many SPCA dogs and continues this important work even in his senior years. He has even cured a few people of their fear of pit bulls. So I hope you will join me in enthusiastically welcoming Mason as the 2011 SPCA Mascot.
