Hang loose and bring your favorite surFUR to the Don Hansen Memorial Dog Wash Fundraiser! Join Rancho Coastal Humane Society and Hansen Surfboards for a good time featuring dog washes, treats, wagging tails, and plenty of fun in the sun.
Whether your pup needs to rinse off after chasing waves or just deserves a little spa day, every scrub helps make a difference. This event is 100% donation-based, and every dollar raised supports Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s lifesaving programs, helping homeless pets catch the next wave to their forever homes.
So grab your leash, bring those good vibes, and join us for a day of community, compassion, and canine fun. Together, we can make a splash for pets in need while honoring the legacy of Don Hansen.
