The “Borrow a Buddy” program is a great partnership between the Beachcomber Motel, Surf & Sand Lodge and the Beach House Inn, all in Fort Bragg, and the Mendocino Coast Humane Society. If guests don’t have a dog, or can’t travel with their own, this program encourages them to spread the love to our local pound puppies.
