501(c)(3) Status Update!

TL;DR: We’re in the final stage of becoming a nonprofit! We just had to fix a quick signature issue, and now we’re resubmitting the paperwork. Once it’s in, the IRS will send our official determination letter!

Sandi is a Californian Wild Dog/Golden Retriever Mix.
Loma’s best friend (maybe more?) and travel agent. She keeps Loma’s channel running, makes sure their trips stays on schedule and the fun never ends!

She may have an affinity for tennis balls. 🐶 🎾

Diego the bear, er, Harbor Seal is every creature’s dad-friend.

He enjoys the watching the iconic Socal sunsets with his friend, Doorothie and his favorite beverage.

Diego prides himself in his fine collection of sandals. 🌊🦭🎖️
