Delivering Hope: Ventura County Animal Services and Pizza Man Dan’s Launch “Pizza Pup” Across Ventura County
Ventura Breeze
October 29, 2026
How often do you actually look at the pizza box before you dive in? Pizza Man Dan's is betting you'll glance twice now. Dan Collier is donating ad space on boxes across all 8 of his Ventura County locations to spotlight long-term shelter dogs at VCAS — the pups who've been waiting the longest for a family. It's a clever, deeply local idea: your Friday night dinner becomes a matchmaking moment.
Anyone who's followed VCAS knows they pour their hearts into these animals, and longer-stay dogs often get overlooked simply because they're not front and center. Putting their faces on something as ubiquitous as a pizza box meets people right where they already are — no app, no shelter visit required. Big props to a hometown pizza guy using his reach for good. Read the full story over at Ventura Breeze, then maybe order a pie and meet your next best friend.

VenturaFynn Neth Makes Still Frothy History
Ventura's surf lineage just got another chapter, and it's written by one of our own. Fynn Neth didn't just compete at the 17th annual Still Frothy Surf Festival at Pismo Beach Pier — he owned it, sweeping both the Juniors and Pro Open divisions. Winning one title at a storied event is special; taking both is the kind of weekend surfers dream about and rarely pull off. For a town that treats wave-riding like a birthright, this hits different. Ventura's been producing standout talent for generations, and Neth's double win is the latest reminder that our stretch of coast keeps churning out surfers who can hang with the best. It's also a nod to the grassroots contests and local crews that nurture kids from first foam-ball rides to podium finishes. Big congrats to Fynn and the family, friends, and shapers behind him. Ventura Breeze had the story first, and we're glad to pass it along to the 805. Keep an eye on this name — the froth is clearly still strong.

It's a rare chance to hear world-class harmony right here in our backyard. For those who've followed VMF through the years, this closing concert feels like a holiday gift. The festival has long brought top-tier talent to Ventura County, and Chanticleer's appearance continues that tradition. Whether you're a longtime choral fan or just looking for a festive night out, this is one to circle on the calendar. Details are still emerging, so keep an eye on the Ventura Breeze for updates. Tickets likely won't last long—Ventura knows how to show up for live music.
