Mar-a-Lago hosted the American Humane Society’s 15th Annual Hero Dog Awards Gala, one of its first charitable events in 2026. The event attracted attention due to attendees dressed as furries in 18th-century attire, dancing under dog masks, sparking mixed reactions on social media. While furries are often misunderstood, their presence was notable, and it remains unclear if they were part of the community or simply entertaining guests. Reports suggest Trump made a brief statement at the gala, although his involvement in the fundraiser is uncertain.
