Well, another Shiba Prom in the books! A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who were able to join us for an out-of-this-world time at our 15th Shiba Prom Into the INU-Verse!! It was great to see and pawty with so many Shiba Prom Alum as well as NEW faces too!
We hope you had a Shibariffic time, we sure did! We are still recovering from our exciting trip around the Inuverse and the pawtying!
It is always so hard to believe how fast Prom comes and goes each year. It is even harder to believe that this was the 15th Shiba Prom! That means that YOU have been helping Shibas and Shiba-mixes by having fun with us while raising funds for a decade and a half!
We can never thank you enough for your VERY GENEROUS contributions which have led to initially raising approximately $4,000! All of these funds will go to rescue organizations who request assistance via our Grants Program (http://www.shibaprom.org/grants.html).
DON’T FORGET! You can still reserve your Furbaby’s personal day on our upcoming 2027 Shiba Prom calendar for a $10 donation! Don’t miss out! gogophotocontest.com/spaceprom/reserve-a-spot
STAY TUNED for our Photo Contest Winners announcements as well as the winners of our raffles and the talent and Haiku contests!
THANK YOU! We love you all so Shiba much!
