The theme of this year's gala is a 'Diamond in the Ruff,' with ten dogs strutting down the aisle in tuxedos and dresses accompanied by staff members.

'I really think it's a good way for people to come out, socialize and also support the shelter. It's a great way, maybe some people aren't looking to adopt, and this is a way that they can help the shelter by buying a ticket and enjoying the evening,' said Brian Carroll, director of community relations at the Erie Humane Society.
The dogs from Saturday's show are available for adoption.
Proceeds from the gala go towards everyday care of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming the pets.

Former Ring Of Honor Star Announces His Retirement
A former Ring of Honor star has chosen to hang up the boots. Brian Milonas, best known for his tag team, The Bouncers, with the Beer City Bruiser, has decided that it's time for him to retire. Milonas took to social media this morning to announce his retirement from pro wrestling in a very lengthy statement, tweeting out: Advertisement 'Sometimes in life the mind wants something the body just isn't capable of. Since I was a little boy professional wrestling has been something I've been passionate about. From watching the stars of the 80s all the way through till now I have loved professional wrestling. As an adult the pursuit of a career in pro wrestling has been my singular focus. Starting at age 19, I have dedicated so much time, effort and energy into making this crazy dream happen. While I fell short of my ultimate goal of becoming a WWE Superstar, I am very proud of my resume. I've had great times and made great friends along the way. My only regret is not stopping more in the moments to enjoy the journey. Today I say goodbye to the pursuit of pro wrestling as my life. I say goodbye to performing in the ring. As it turns out my last match took place on February 22, 2024. Nearly 23 years of being in the ring and performing has been one of the greatest honors of my life. From the Polish American Veteran's Club in Lowell, MA all the way to Madison Square Garden in New York City. What a ride. Thank you to the fans who have supported me these last two decades. I could never repay you in a million years for how you have made me feel these last two decades. I love and appreciate you all. Advertisement Thank you to my friends, mentors, peers and associates. I hope I've been able to add value to your journey in pro wrestling as so many have in mine. Don't take the professional wrestling business for granted. Your time in it is fleeting and can go by in the snap of a finger. Treat the ring and the locker room as the sacred places they are. Leave it better than you found it. Thank you to my family. Your unconditional love and support propelled me to do some pretty cool things. I love you all. I love professional wrestling and when the time is right I will figure out what my next steps are to be a part of the greatest business in the world. For now though, it is time to close the book on my in-ring career. Much love and appreciation to you all. Brian' READ MORE: Dalton Castle Is Finally Returning To Ring Of Honor On behalf of everyone here at WrestleZone, we wish Brian Milonas the best in the next chapter of his life.

No Joke, The Lights Went Out At The Sydney Opera House During Vivid
The Sydney Opera House had an ironic incident in the Concert Hall last night (June 3rd) for its final night of Vivid LIVE for 2025. While the venue itself was lit up from the outside, the stage lights inside went out during Japanese Breakfast's set around 9:45pm during a performance of the song 'Slide Tackle'. What was originally believed to be an intentional part of the lighting design was quickly revealed to be legitimate, with a technician from the back of the room yelling that they were 'working with the House to get the lights back on' as the band played on for another two songs. After playing 'Picture Window' with only the overhead lights and a prop lantern, the band – who were making their Sydney Opera House debut – were escorted off stage for an unplanned intermission, which lasted 15 minutes. Unfortunately, when the band returned to continue with the show, the lighting issue had not been resolved. 'The whole system is down,' said frontwoman Michelle Zauner to the sold-out audience following 'Men In Bars'. Two songs later, however, the entire lighting system came back online midway through the band's performance of 'Kokomo, IN'. 'That's live music, baby!' Zauner remarked following a rapturous applause from the audience at the song's conclusion. At the time of writing, neither the Sydney Opera House nor Japanese Breakfast have publicly commented on the technical snafu. The band's performance wrapped up a busy two weeks for the Opera House, which saw Sigur Rós bring their orchestral tour to the Concert Hall with three sold-out shows with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the final Australian performances from Anohni & The Johnsons, as well as Beth Gibbons, Miss Kaninna, Surprise Chef and Emily Wurramara. Vivid Sydney will continue on until next weekend (June 14th) across various other venues in the city. This includes the Oxford Art Factory, where septuagenarian UK rap duo Pete & Bas are set to perform tomorrow night, as well as the City Recital Hall in Angel Place, where Soccer Mommy will perform next Thursday night.

Major Movie Star Confesses to an Unbelievable Revenge Plot Involving Sending Gorilla Poop to a Man Who Broke Her Friend's Heart
Major Movie Star Confesses to an Unbelievable Revenge Plot Involving Sending Gorilla Poop to a Man Who Broke Her Friend's Heart originally appeared on Parade. During a new lie detector test with Vanity Fair, released on Thursday, June 5, didn't hold back. The polygraph interview, her second with the publication, quickly took a surprising turn when the questions shifted to her loyalty. After establishing that she would lie to the police to protect her "lifelong" friend, actress , the interrogator upped the ante with a very specific, and very messy, examiner asked Johnson to confirm if she had "once sent a man who broke your friend's heart a gallon of gorilla [poop]." Without missing a beat, a smiling star of The Materialists confessed. 'I mean, there's no way that he would watch this, so, yes, I did do that,' she admitted, adding context that the vengeful act wasn't a recent affair. 'And it's been quite a while. It's been some years.' The off-camera interrogator, seemingly speaking for everyone watching, had to know more about the logistics. 'How would one order something like that? Asking for a friend,' he inquired. Johnson, ever helpful, was happy to share her source. Her go-to website for such a unique delivery is a service that specializes in mailing various types of animal feces. 'You can order any kind, any size,' the Madame Web star explained, a statement the polygrapher confirmed was 'truthful.' While her methods may be unconventional, the act stems from a place of deep loyalty, a theme that ran through the interview. In one segment of the video, she talked about meeting her friend Riley Keough at an In-N-Out Burger and affirmed her unwavering support for her friends. However, Johnson does have her limits. When asked if she also knew how to "order pubic crabs online," she drew the line with a laugh. 'No! Good Lord, I'm not a monster,' she exclaimed. The Fifty Shades of Grey star, who recently navigated her own public split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after a long-term relationship, did not disclose the identity of the friend she so fiercely defended. This latest polygraph session also saw her touch on her need for at least 10 hours of sleep, her preference for baths, and her past as a member of a band humorously named "Folky Porn." The entire interview paints a picture of an actress who, despite her private nature, is willing to get her hands dirty—or at least click "add to cart"—for the people she loves.
