What exactly is Shiba Prom (for our new followers)

Shiba Prom is an online, virtual, fundraising event - now in its 4th year! On the day of the big event Shibas, honorary Shibas, meowies that love Shibas and hoomans from all over the world join together to fundraise for Shiba rescues. Last year we raised over $43,000! Let your imagination run wild with that one – what can we do this year? The whole prom takes place online. Some hoomans like to arrange meetup groups to correspond with the event but this is not a requirement.

But - what really happens at the prom? There is music, and we have DJs, a fast moving group chat room (a/k/a "dance floor), contests, prizes and overall creative fun. Leading up to the Prom, we will have a donation drive during the month of June. 

So how do you get ready? First, make sure you "Like" and follow Shiba Prom on Facebook.

Step One: Save the date! This year the pawty is on Saturday, June 27th.

Step Two: Secure your date and your pawty pals. Attending stag is fine too – there are so many attendees no one is ever alone! Suggestions for getting a date: post a cute photo and bio to the Shiba Prom page on Facebook and surely, your pup will get lots of responses. Or, post on your own page and tag Shiba Prom in the caption of the post. 

Step Three: If your hoomans insist, get your fancy dress attire ready. Some Shibas, like our board member Zuko, prefer to go “nekkid” due to their ongoing protest about costumes. Others, like board member Fuchi, enjoy custom couture creations from KatCen (bonus: $5 from each sale is generously donated to Shiba Prom).

Step Four: Stay tuned for registration information. Once registration is open, set up your Shiba Prom profile, vote for the Prom Court, and sign up for the Contests! (More info will be coming as we get closer to the date).

Step Five: The big day! Sign on to the Shiba Prom website, turn up the volume and jump into the pawty!

Get ready to PAWTY!
