Our Story

This isn’t just a clothing brand. It’s a love letter to our rescue dogs, our community, and the friendships that raised us.

After high school, our close-knit friend group went off to different colleges. Suddenly, the community service projects we used to do together, the dogs we grew up with, and the Long Island towns we loved felt farther away than ever. So we started something that brought it all back.

All of us have rescue pets. We’ve seen the unconditional love they give, and we’ve also seen how overwhelmed shelters have become. More animals are arriving every day, and the cost of food, medical care, and supplies keeps going up. Most shelters are doing everything they can, but they can’t do it alone.

That’s why we started Happy Dog Surf Shop.

We design clothing and donate 100% of the profits to local animal shelters.

Every shirt, every hoodie, every order makes a real difference, helping shelters stay open, animals get adopted, and communities stay strong.

This shop is more than a brand. It’s our way of staying connected to our hometown, and to the dogs who’ve always been there for us.
