Wag if You Love Woodward!

Posted On : 8/17/2006 by admin admin

Rancho Santa Fe is home to one of San Diego’s most altruistic organizations: the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Located on twelve rolling acres, the center benefits the community by providing educational and therapeutic programs for people, and humane care and adoption for animals. The facility includes adoption kennels, stables and an arena for the Therapeutic Riding program, a pet boarding facility, small-animal and equine hospitals, classrooms, and more.

Because the Helen Woodward Animal Center receives no government funding, they must rely on tax-deductible contributions from private donors. The center also devises wonderfully innovative fundraising methods, such as the upcoming Surf Dog Surf-a-Thon on September 17th. Held in Del Mar, Participants (humans) estimate how many waves they can catch in an hour, accumulating donations from family and friends. There will also be booths, games, plenty of sunshine, a dog surfing contest, and a “Beach Bum and Bikini Babe” canine costume contest for your more glamorous companions.

My family got our dog Milo, a sweet little pug, from the Woodword Animal Center last year. He has been a wonderful new addition to our home and everyone at the center was entirely helpful and so happy to assist us in the process of adopting. It is nice to see the center is getting recognition as a worthwhile business in San Diego. For anyone looking to get a pet soon, I would suggest the Woodward Center.
