Blair Griffith is a beauty queen who’s Cinderella story resembles what happens after midnight and the fairy tale collapses.

But despite these hard times, Miss Colorado still plans to compete in the Miss USA competition in June. Being a pagent contestant, Griffith knows competition can wreak havoc on someone’s well-being. That’s why she hopes to level the playing field for the millions of dogs and cats in shelters waiting for homes by writing an editorial encouraging adoption.
