If your GM allows 3.5 material there was one from that game, but I don't know of any for Pathfinder.
If I remember correctly there was one Pathfinder Prestige Class in a Wayfinder number, I can't recall exactly which one was and I can't check mine PDFs now.
EDIT: Alright, I remembered having a copy of the PDFs into mine laptop too.
Found the prestige class, it's called the Fili and it's in Wayfinder #7
It would help if we knew how many levels you had of each, and why you took them?
Well... Given that, I think your best bet is to familiarize yourself with the retrain rules and see if you can find a copy of "faiths and philosophies"- there's a feat chain in there (nature soul, and animal ally) that gets you a companion at character level -3 (and you can add boon companion to bring that up to full. That will allow you to retrain to full bard and you will have accomplished what you set out for.

Considering you've already got some momentum and retraining is beyond any reasonable price, my suggestion is to pick a focus for your character and build around it. If you want to keep that animal companion up to snuff, the Boon Companion feat from the Animal Archive book will allow up to 4 of your non-druid levels to count as druid levels for calculating your animal companion's potency. If you want a maxed out companion from there, you can afford up to one more non-druid level before finishing up as druid. Either way, if you get Wild Shape, the Wild Speech feat from ultimate magic will let you keep up your vocal Bardic Performances while in animal form. The Wild Spell is a great feat to take too.
In the end, Pathfinder has enough options that you're better served multiclassing and taking the right feats. Prestige classes only serve very specific niche roles and none of the ones available in Pathfider Society can cover a Bard/Druid.
PS: this one is a longshot, but if you retrain your druid levels into cavalier and get Cav4, you can qualify for Horse Master, which counts your total character level to see how strong your animal companion is. The main catch is that you have to pick from the cavalier's limited list of animals: horse/camel if you're medium sized or wolf/dog if you're small.
I'm not real familiar with society play... If retraining is too expensive than I think Rosc had some good suggestions- take the boon companion feat and a 4th level of bard, then level as a Druid from there. That will give you a full progression companion and enough bard stuff to feel like one even with more Druid levels (decent amount of performance, bardic lore +2, 2nd level bard spells). Depending on how you want to play, feats like wild speech and natural spell could be super useful.
If it is for PFS the Wayfinder option I suggested is not something legal.
Since you are already a Bard 3 / Druid 3 probably only Mystic Theurge is a valid option, but I don't play PFS so I don't know if you can retrain your levels to something new and if the Varian Multi-Classing option of Pathfinder Unchained is already legal for PFS.

Perhaps, if your DM allows (sighs, and is not PFS), I would personally recommend the Fochlucan Lyrist. Admittingly, it is a 3.5 PrC so it will need some converting and some discussion on the requirement that evasion is needed, but if your DM is willing to work with you I feel it could be considered worth the extra effort.

Unfortunately, OP said this was for PFS. This being said, Fochlucan Lyrist does require Evasion, which is some more class dipping or 'cheese' in order to get your hands on it. I'm a big fan of the PrC but it is super powerful and has tough requirements to enter to make up for that power, rather than being a balanced PrC with balanced entry requirements.
