About This Event
Dear Friends,
The Galveston Island Humane Society (GIHS) is happy to present our 13th Annual Ohana Surf Dog
Competition. The event begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 18th. The public is invited to participate
with their furry friends while raising funds to help advance our mission. Non-surfers come out to enjoy
the fun in the sun, visit our vendors, and support our shelter. This all takes place on the beach at 28th
Street across from Ohana Surf & Skate on Galveston Island.
GIHS is committed to creating a united community where respect, kindness, and humane animal care are priorities. We have made it a mission to develop innovative life-saving adoption programs, high-volume community spay and neuter programs, serving animals and people in times of crisis, and engaging the community to be part of the solution.
In order to accomplish our ambitious goals, and continue this important work, we are asking you to be
actively involved in the 2026 Ohana Surf Dog Competition by becoming an event sponsor.
Your support of this family fun, community event allows us to work together for the unwanted, neglected, and
homeless animals on Galveston Island.
Sponsors are also invited to our sponsor appreciation Pre Pawdy, July 17th, 2026, 6 - 8 PM at the Texas Surf Museum
