robertlane Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) "Team Shelby" to March for Animals! Ralph and Pam Arning (along with their dogs, Cupcake and Riley) have formed a "Team Shelby" for the 7th Annual MHS Mega March to be held on October 7, 2012. "Team Shelby" is for their dog, Shelby, that was adopted from the MHS-Westland Shelter. Shelby passed away, at age 12. Shelby was the "grand-dog" of Klaus Arning who was involved in the design and development of the original 427 Cobra, GT350, Ford GT40 and A.J Foyt’s Coyote Indy Car chassis and suspension. Please take a moment to read their Personal Page and consider donating to the Michigan Humane Society. If you are in the Detroit area, please consider joining in the Mega March! Thank you all! Please click here to learn more. Ralph Arning, son of Klaus is on the Ford Mustang PVT/Launch Team at the Ford Mustang AAI Flat Rock, Michigan plant. Please click here to learn more.

Freak Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I noticed one of the donations on that page was made "In memory of" someone. It would be kind of cool if some of those wanting to donate pooled their money, and collectively donated in memory of Carroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly a Mustang enthusiast and gear head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie13 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 A huge thank you, in advance, for your support and to those who have donated so far! A special thank you to the Shelby American car enthusiasts from all over the U.S. that have donated - what huge hearts you also have for the animals! If our father, Klaus, were still here, he'd be proud of his grand-dog, Shelby, and the thoughtfulness you have for the homeless animals at MHS! With your wonderful support, to date, Team Shelby has raised $3,265! With only 45 days remaining until the Mega March, we need your help with reaching our $3,500 goal! Please share with your friends. To donate: http://www.michiganhumane.org/site/TR/2012MegaMarchforAnimals/MegaMarch2012?px=1298751&pg=personal&fr_id=1450 Thank You!!!
