Paddle. Glow. Give back! Join us for Pumpkins, Paddle & Paws Pack Walk Aglow, a festive night of costumes, pups, and Halloween fun supporting The Cantu Foundation.
Saturday, October 25th at 4:00PM
We encourage everyone to dress up in their best Halloween attire!
This special event supports The Cantu Foundation, an amazing nonprofit dedicated to giving vulnerable dogs a second chance at life. Focused on rescuing pups from Baja California and Southern California, they provide safe refuge, medical care, and the love each animal deserves through their foster-based program. With no central shelter, every dog is nurtured in a foster home until they find their forever family, allowing them to heal and thrive in a supportive environment. Powered entirely by donations, volunteers, and fosters, The Cantu Foundation not only saves lives but also builds a compassionate community that believes every dog deserves a chance to be loved.
Adoptable pups will be joining us onshore and on the water, ready to meet their forever pumpkins!
Whether you're paddling, pack-walking, or just hanging out with adoptable dogs, we’ve saved a spot just for you.
You can Paddle or Pack Walk or BOTH!
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. (SELECT DOG FOOD BRANDS WILL BE POSTED SOON!)
What to Expect:
Meet & Mingle at 4:00PM
Check in, meet other awesome humans and pups, and drop off your dog food donations for The Cantu Foundation. You can also meet some 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 $25, a light up leash for $35 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.
