Rad rescue dog Surfin’ Jack, who started out the year aboard the world’s longest and heaviest float during the annual Tournament of Roses Parade, is getting ready to raise people’s spirits while raising awareness of a paws cause at the world’s largest pet and pet product expo.
The canine ambassador for Lucy Pet Products and The Lucy Pet Foundation will be among the totally tubular tail-waggers and cool cats aboard the Gnarly Crankin’ Wave Maker. which will be at America’s Family Pet Expo at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California from April 28 – 30, 2017.
The sports-loving Spot will be joined by fellow Lucy Pet Products mascot Ricky the Rescue Cat, who will wow the crowd as he shows off his mad skills on a surfboard alongside his gal pal, Ethel.
The four-legged athletes will demonstrate their surfing abilities at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the world’s only mobile wave maker, consisting of a 75-foot trailer filled with 5,000 gallons of water and an automatic wave maker.
America’s Family Pet Expo marks the kick off for Lucy Pet Product’s twenty-city national “Wave Tour II,” which will also stop in Canada; Denver, Colorado; Seattle, Washington; Phoenix, Arizona and San Antonio, Texas.
“We never thought we’d be able to top last year’s Gnarly Crankin’ Wave Maker Tour,” Lucy Pet Products President Joey Herrick stated. “But I think we’ve done it! Never before have their been dogs doing tricks on moving surfboards, not to mention cats that can hang twenty with the best of them.”
Products with a Cause
The surfing tour will help to shine a spotlight on Lucy Pet Products, a family-owned and operated business featuring dog and cat care products with a cause. All of the net profits from sales benefit the ongoing efforts of The Lucy Pet Foundation. Established in 2013, the non-profit organization is driven to end the euthanasia of more than four million cats and dogs each year by working to place a Lucy Pet Foundation spay/neuter and pet adoption mobile clinic in each major city across the country. (In 2016 alone the organization spayed/neutered over 4,000 companion animals in need with one mobile clinic.)
