Proms aren’t just for senior high schoolers.
On Saturday, May 18, Helen Woodward Animal Center invites adopted alumni and furry dapper darlings to a celebration of animal rescue.
The Center’s Puppy Prom returns, reuniting four-legged friends on the dance floor so grab your favorite fuzzy love and rub hairy shoulders with other adoptees at the 10th Puppy Prom, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., hosted by Original 40 Brewing Co.
– 3117 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92104.
Helen Woodward Animal Center’s prom-themed reunion welcomes animal lovers and canines of all kinds, including pups decked out in adorable doggy dresses, tuxes, boutonnieres, and painted paw-nails.
The Prom-themed party is FREE to all Helen Woodward Animal Center alumni and other rescue-supporting guests. Junior and Senior pooches can participate in the crowning of a Best Dressed “Prom King and Queen” ($20 per entry), snapping picture-perfect photos against a variety of classic prom backdrops, corsage, and boutonniere-making, posing for a group alumni photo and more. Canine attendees will receive party favors provided by Blue Buffalo, while supplies last.
Helen Woodward Animal Center loves its kitty alumni too! Kitty lovers have submitted photos of their fuzzy feline family members dressed in prom finery which will be voted on at the Puppy Prom by attending prom-goers with prizes awarded to the Best Dressed Kitty Prom King and Queen. Cat parents are encouraged to attend to participate in voting for their beloved kittens.
Original 40 Brewing will donate 30% of all food and drink purchases to support the Center pets and programs. Additionally, the canine-loving business will reveal the winning faces of two participating pups on their PAWSitive Memories beer cans!
Earlier in April, over 100 contestants raised nearly $8,000 to help the orphan pets at Helen Woodward Animal Center in a Your Boo on a Brew Contest and the top two fund-raisers will be announced at Puppy Prom with their adorable snoots displayed on the limited-edition beer.
