The Galveston Island Humane Society (GIHS) is happy to present our 9th Annual Ohana Surf Dog Competition. The event begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 16th. 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 27th Street 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. 

We would like to thank our sponsors for helping make this event possible!
