Giddy up for a tail-waggin’ good time as we head into a summer evening filled with paddle boarding, glowing pups, and giving back!
Join us on Saturday, August 9th at 5:00PM for Giddy SUP & Glow, a Social Paddle, Glow Pack Walk, and Dog Food Drive supporting Soulmate Animal Rescue. We’ll be bringing the bark to the Wild West with Western-themed fun for you and your pup!
We’ve got cowboy hats and bandanas for the pups, so all you need to do is show up ready to have fun — and we encourage everyone to dress up in their best Western wear too as we make a pawsitive impact together.
This special event supports Soulmate Animal Rescue, a dedicated team of veteran animal advocates with expertise in veterinary care, training, foster coordination, and outreach. Their mission is simple and powerful: rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs in need.
Adoptable pups will be joining us onshore, ready to meet their forever cowboys and cowgirls.
Whether you're paddling, pack-walking, or just hanging out with adoptable dogs — we’ve saved a spot just for you.
Dog food donations to earn tickets for prizes after the paddle from generous local businesses. Let’s round up support for rescue pups and show what this dog-lovin’ community can do.
What to Expect:
Meet & Mingle at 5:00PM
Check in, meet other awesome humans and pups, and drop off your dog food donations for Soulmate Animal Rescue. You can also meet the Adoptable pups!!
Community Paddle
Bring or rent a paddleboard and hit the water with us for a feel-good paddle session. No race, no pressure — just a beautiful time on the water supporting a great cause.
Glow Pack Walk
After the paddle, it’s time to light up the night. Purchase a Light Up Pups glow collar for $20 or bring your own glow gear. We’ll take a fun 1-2 mile (about 45 minutes to 1 hour) group walk and light up Liberty Station with our glowing pup pack.
