DOG BAG PROGRAM
In 2010, when Heal the Ocean learned that dog bag dispensers would no longer be stocked by Santa Barbara County due to a sweeping budget cut, we stepped forward to offer our help. We established a partnership with the County wherein Heal the Ocean would help raise funds to restock dog bag dispensers at beaches and parks from Rincon to Goleta.
As a part of Heal the Ocean's Doggy Bag Program, we offer advertising sponsorships on dog bag dispensers at beaches and parks throughout the City and County, and we fundraise from our beloved dog-owning supporters, in order to support restocking these dispensers with compostable dog bags. The response to this program has been dog-gone wonderful!
Join the Doggy Bag Program
You Can Help Clean Up our Beaches by Supporting Heal the Ocean’s Doggy Bag Program.
Become a Dog Bag Donor:
A $60 donation funds 1,500 biodegradable doggy bags. A donation of any amount at any frequency ensures that this program continues. Please be sure to send info@healtheocean.org a picture of your dog with your donation so they can be included in this year's edition of Heal the Ocean's "Great Dog Show." You can also sign up for recurring monthly donations ($5, $10, or $20) if you would like to be a regular contributor!
Become a Dog Bag Dispenser Sponsor:
There are dog bag dispensers available for sponsorship in City and County parks. HTO will work with you to design and print custom stickers for your dispenser, and everything else is taken care of – printing, maintenance, and stocking of bags. Your business is advertised for a full year for a reasonable cost, and you are helping to keep the environment clean! If you are interested in sponsoring a dispenser or donating to our Dog Bag Program, please contact info@healtheocean.org.
