Connecticut dog rescued from high-kill shelter up for national Hero Dog award

MILFORD, Conn. — A Milford therapy dog could be the American Humane Society’s next hero dog. Jeffrey is a finalist in the shelter dog category.

The 13-year-old pit bull was rescued back in 2010 by his owner, Michele Houston, from the Manhattan Animal Care and Control euthanasia list. 

In 2012, Jeffrey became a therapy dog. Since Jeffrey became a therapy dog 10 years ago, he’s spent countless hours as a shoulder to lean on, and making people smile.
