With one eye and four legs, Brian Griffin isn’t your typical Prom King, but then you’ve never seen a prom like the one Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles is hosting.
The “Senior” Prom will kick off Best Friends’ “Aged to Perfection” adoption promo, with no adoption fees on all pets seven years and older until the end of May. All pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
“We wanted to find a fun way to invite adopters to ask a senior pet for that ‘next dance’” said Dana Collins, communications manager, Best Friends Animal Society, Los Angeles. “Senior dogs and cats have a lot to offer. Most are mellow, have great manners, and make for awesome lifelong companions.”
Competitors for Prom King include the following 5 canines:
Brian, the eight-year-old Puggle, is stiff competition…
Handsome Lab mix, Mr. Charlie…
Fluffy Terrier, Mulberry…
Dashing Aussie Shepherd mix, Scooter…
And crowd favorite Winston, a partially-sighted Chihuahua mix.
Prom Queen hopefuls include 5 fabulous felines “of a certain age”:
Petite and playful Mamacita…
Cute calico mix, Rosie…
Beguiling black and white kitty, Calisto…
Gorgeous gray cat, Emily…
And terrific tortoiseshell, Tabitha.
