Surf Dog Ricochet

Ricochet SERVICE Dog to SURFice Dog

........................................................................................

She was slated to be a service dog, but she had too much interest in chasing critters (especially birds). So, now she's a SURFice dog, helping people with disabilities in a non traditional way. The term SURFice dog was trademarked for her by Puppy Prodigies, the non profit service dog organization she is part of and because she also surfs. They put service dog and surfing together and came up with SURFice dog!

Service Dogs Making a difference...

From service dog to SURFice dog! Living a lifestyle of helping others by pawing it forward while raising awareness/funds for human/animal causes, adaptive surfers & disABILITIES.

Ricochet’s focus is on assisting the disabled community, in a non traditional SURFice dog

kind of way!
She has raised over
$51,000 this past year and
is ready to raise more!
