SoCal Surf Dogs

SoCal Surf Dogs is a Southern California-based organization and community club dedicated to the sport of dog surfing and canine water safety. Founded in 2009, the group provides surfing lessons for dogs and their owners, emphasizing the physical and mental health benefits of the activity for both species. The organization is a key partner of the Helen Woodward Animal Center, providing expert instruction for the annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon and other charitable events that raise funds for animal welfare. While not a traditional life sciences company, SoCal Surf Dogs is involved in animal-assisted therapy and promotes canine wellness through active lifestyle programs. The group has gained international recognition through features in various media outlets and its participation in high-profile events like the Rose Parade.
