Drool in the Pool is not just for swimming

GREAT FALLS, Montana – Drool in the Pool is more than just dogs swimming in the pool. At the August 27^th event dogs will be able to bob for hot dogs, do some peanut butter painting, and even get microchipped for free.

“This years event is an expansion of what people have previously experienced at Drool in the Pool,” said Amelia Caldwell, Operations Manager at the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter. “Thanks to our generous sponsors we will be offering free microchipping for those that attend the event.”

But it’s not all for the dogs. There will also be fun activities for the humans that attend including making “indestructible” rope toys, learning leash tips, and meeting with animal friendly vendors.

“We have some really fun things planned for both animals and people,” said Laramie Smovir, Volunteer Coordinator at the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter. “From a follow your nose scavenger hunt to an opportunity to dunk an animal control officer. It should be a fun Saturday afternoon for everyone.”

Drool in the Pool will be held at the Electric City Waterpark on August 27^th 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. Entry fee is $5 per animal and $2 per human. All animals will need to be socialized/friendly and have proof of vaccinations.
