Dogs aged 7 years or older at the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control in Phoenix were dressed in tutus, tiaras and ties as they socialized with potential adopters at the shelter’s “Happily Ever After”-themed prom.
The best-dressed pups were even invited to strut down a catwalk to compete for the title of prom king or queen.
And although the event had gone to the dogs, people were invited to join in on the fun, whether they were interested in adopting or just taking pictures.
“We want our senior males and females to be ‘Happily Ever After’ in their new ‘fur’-ever home,” the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control wrote on their Facebook.
At the end of the night, the shelter announced the prom was a success after nine dogs were adopted into loving homes.
