Join Us At Our Upcoming Events!

Each gathering, big or small, helps sustain programs like Canines Teaching Compassion, where youth and dogs heal together through compassion and consistency.

Whether you’re here for connection, celebration, or to support the mission, your presence helps build the compassionate community we all need.

Why Connection, Awareness, and Impact Matter.

Every event we host strengthens the network of care on California’s Central Coast.

  • Connection: Youth, dogs, and neighbors come together in one space of healing.

  • Awareness: Each event shines light on real challenges and real change.

  • Impact: Every ticket, donation, and share directly fuels our programs.

Every Event is a Step Toward Change

From Yappy Hours to youth graduations, every gathering tells a story of second chances.
When we show up together — healing spreads, hope multiplies, and compassion takes root.

Accountability speaks through numbers, but transformation speaks through faces.
Come see those faces — visit our Gallery.
