End-of-Summer Dog Swims!
The end of August and Labor Day weekend means that the local pools are closing. Many community pools offer dog swims at the end of the season before they drain and clean the pools. Let your pooch have one last dog day of summer!
Please contact each venue for additional information, regulations, and rules. Many require paperwork (proof of rabies vaccination) and ask that dogs be licensed.
