Helen Woodward Animal Center Celebrates Orphan Pups’ Happily-Ever-Afters…
Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. (May 1, 2019) – Helen Woodward Animal Center cordially invites adopted alumni and all furry princes and princesses to a royal celebration of animal rescue. Touting a new theme, the Center’s annual Puppy Prom calls on four-legged friends to reunite since finding their happily-ever-after and rejoice…on the dance floor! Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 7th Annual Puppy Prom: A Furry-Tail Ending takes place Saturday, May 18th from 10 am to 12 p.m. at Casa Sol y Mar – 12865 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA 92130.
The enchanting furry-tail themed Prom is FREE to all Helen Woodward Animal Center Alumni and all the Center/Kingdom’s supporters of animal rescue, human and canine alike. Dressed in fairytale attire for the storybook ball, pups and their pawrents are invited to enjoy corsage and bowtie making-stations, opportunity drawings, photos with prom-themed backdrops and delicious treats for all.
Once again, Casa Sol y Mar will host the happy event and provide free light appetizers for the humans with 20% of all additional food/beverage sales from the event going back to Helen Woodward Animal Center. The festivities will culminate in the crowning of Best Dressed Prom King and Queen. Interested pawticipants can enter with $10 fee which supports the Center pets and programs.
Helen Woodward Animal Center loves our kitty alumni too and will honor them with a Best Dressed Kitty King and Queen Contest. To enter your rescue kitty, simply go online to submit a photo of your cat (dressed in their prom finery). Photos will be shared on our social media sites and voted on at the Puppy Prom by attending prom-goers with prizes awarded to the Best Dressed Kitty Prom King and Queen. We hope to see cat parents in attendance voting for their beloved felines.
For years, Helen Woodward Animal Center’s prom-themed reunion has brought together former orphan pets and their families from “graduating classes” as far back as 2004. Decked out in adorable doggy dresses, tuxes, boutonnieres and painted paw-nails, the rescued canines return to their old barking grounds to show off their forever families and reunite with former Center “pupmates.”
“This is one of our very favorite events and we appreciate Casa Sol y Mar for providing us such a festive location to hold it,” explained Helen Woodward Animal Center Customer Service Assistant Manager Dora Dahlke. “This truly is a chance for all of us to witness the happy endings of our beloved friends. You can just see the love on the faces of the adopting parents and the overwhelming joy on the faces of the adopted pups.”
