How does Beach Buddies work?

Sign up by clicking ‘Sign Up’ above and selecting your preferred Beach Buddies date on the calendar. We release the calendar dates only one month in advance, on the first of every month. There are five spots available on each Beach Buddies date plus five wait list spots. We will confirm your attendance a day or two before your outing by email and/or phone. We must get the confirmation from you before 9:00 am on the morning of your outing or we will contact our wait listed participants to take your spot.

The day of your outing…

Please arrive promptly at the shelter at 11:00 am. You’ll be given an overview of the day and we’ll run through a few procedural items. Our staff will be pairing you up with a dog based on your dog handling experience and desired activity level. You can drop the dog off any time before 4:00 pm.

What to Expect

Your beach buddy will be bathed and ready to head out for their adventure after the 11:00 am briefing. We’ll have a backpack full of supplies to accompany your pup; including a water bottle, bowl, towel, treats, poop bags and a seatbelt.
