GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Mrs. America has a new puppy.

And he comes from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Ellkhart, Ind. native Mekayla Eppers, who claimed the top pageant crown in Las Vegas earlier this year, adopted Harry from the Kent County Animal Shelter a few weeks ago.

Harry is a 5-month old Beagle/Staffy mix who came to the shelter as a stray.

"Basically, he's famous now," a post on Facebook reads. "We're super happy that such an influential woman chose to adopt and support your local shelter."
