Surf dog Ricochet, the SURFice dog who raises funds and awareness for human and animal causes was surfing in a sea of toys as she delivered more than 3300 toys to Rady Children's Hospital on Wednesday. Donning a red "Surfin' Santa Paws" surfboard, Ricochet left a tidal wave of toys in her wake. Each year, thousands of children visit Rady Children's Hospital facilities and these donations will go a long way towards brightening a child's stay during a stressful time.
There was one more stop on Santa Paw's route, so she got back into her sleigh with her 5 lb little elf helper, Spike and headed north (toward the North Pole) where she delivered toys to Helen Woodward Animal Center. Helen Woodward Animal Center is a dynamic, evolving institution that is an agent of change for the animal welfare world. The toys will offer enrichment to orphan dogs and cats until their new families adopt them. Toys and treats were also provided to the birds, rabbits and horses.
