In addition, Jai Rodriguez will emcee a doggy fashion show that’s sure to melt hearts, featuring some of the dogs that were thankfully saved from euthanasia by DogsInDanger.
"Every four seconds a dog is needlessly euthanized in our country alone, simply due to lack of space in our shelters. When I learned about the mission of Dogs in Danger I jumped at the opportunity to be their national spokesperson," states Shana Wall. "My hope is that our fundraiser brings awareness to this issue so that we can continue to save these dogs from their otherwise tragic fates."
About Dogs in Danger:
Launched in October 2007, DogsInDanger.com started with an important goal in mind: to get shelter dogs adopted into loving homes before their time runs out. The animal welfare organization was recently featured on “Oprah” for their hard work in raising awareness of just how many dogs are currently being killed in shelters. www.dogsindanger.com.

About Shana Wall:
Experiencing many sides of the entertainment world, Wall has toured across South America, Spain, Mexico and the U.S. with Luis Miguel in his 1997 and 2004 tours as a back-up singer/dancer. She has also appeared on the ABC soap opera “Port Charles” as an actress, playing Nurse Summer, and has guest starred on various prime time television shows including “Las Vegas” (alongside James Caan and Josh Duhamel), “Nip/Tuck,” “Entourage,” and “Shark” (alongside James Woods). Most recently, she also competed as a contestant on the CBS Emmy-winning reality show “The Amazing Race.”
Her love for animals started as a kid where she grew up with rescued dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles and birds. Continuing to rescue dogs from freeways and streets, she also spent time feeding starving dogs while in South America. It is for this reason that she is happy to be a spokesperson for Dogs in Danger, which is an organization extremely close to her heart.
"Reality Cares is proud to be supporting Shana Wall in her efforts to raise money and awareness for Dogs in Danger," states Todd Michael Krim, founder of Reality Cares. "Dogs in Danger is a very worthy organization and one we couldn’t be happier to align with."

Is this a Joke? Shana Wall? The annoying stick figure on The Amazing Race? Let me guess, did she wear a ton of make-up and say she is so (I mean so) and again so… into dogs. She’s into being a celebrity and will do whatever it takes to be one.
