Make a Splash at Drool in the Pool

          It’s the event your dog waits 2,555 days for, in dog years that is…Come make a splash with Park and Recreation and the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter, at the 2022 Drool in the Pool, Saturday, August 27th from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.   

           “This is the 9th Annual Drool in the Pool at the Electric City Water Park and it’s a great way to wrap up the season!  Once the families are done using the pool it goes to the dogs – and they have a great time.  Whether you bring your dog or are just a spectator it is a joy to see the pups play together and having such a great time”, shared Patty Rearden, Park and Recreation Deputy Director.

          At this event dogs will still be able to beat the heat and cool off in the pools with all their fellow doggies, but they will also be able to bob for hot dogs, do some peanut butter painting, and even get microchipped for free, thanks to this year’s generous sponsors.

          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 Water Park 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.
