Dogs Have 80s-Themed Prom In Doylestown

A dog prom event at Holiday House Pet Resort & Training Center in Doylestown has raised $1,500 for A Woman’s Place.

The resort’s dog daycare program held its annual dog prom and after-prom party for the pet parents. Clients received an official prom photo of their dog, and the proceeds were donated to A Woman's Place, the only domestic violence organization in Bucks County.

This year’s theme was "I Love the 80s."

The prom-going pups — dressed in a bow ties, tutus, and leg warmers with matching sunglasses — posed for the photo against a brightly decorated backdrop. Decorations included giant Rubik’s cubes and cassette tapes labeled with albums popular throughout the 1980s. Pop music hits from Michael Jackson and Madonna to U2 played on the boom box, according to information from Holiday House.

There was even an after-prom party for the pet parents where wine coolers and snack were served.

“We are very fortunate to have so many generous clients that share our support for organizations that provide such vital services,” said Dr. Laura Weis who owns and operates the resort and Doylestown Veterinary Hospital with her husband, Dr. Randy Weis.

A Woman's Place thanked the local business for once again hosting the fundraiser.

“The partnership we have with Holiday House Pet Resort goes back a long way. What’s really important to us in finding local businesses to work with, is knowing they share our values and support our mission in the community. That’s definitely true of Holiday House Pet Resort, and on top of it, we absolutely love the cuteness and creativity of the pet prom! Such an amazing fundraising idea and we’re so grateful to get the support,” said Jesse Steele, Director of Development with AWP.
