Yappy Howl-iday Celebration
11.19.16
Santa Claus will be making a special appearance at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel’s dog happy hour on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 to p.m. The Yappy Howl-iday Celebration is one of the most fun and festive experiences you will share with your dog—and it’s an opportunity to be photographed with Santa Claus! In keeping with the resort’s Season of Giving, guests are asked to bring unopened canned or dry dog food, treats or dog toys to be donated to local animals in need.
Proceeds from the Yappy Howl-iday Celebration benefits the Canine Companions Veterans Initiative which provides an opportunity for veterans to regain their independence through the support of a Canine Companions service animal. To date, Canine Companions has placed 175 assistance dogs with veterans, with 37 active teams from the Southwest Region.
The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel is located at One Ritz-Carlton Drive in Dana Point.
