The event of the summer, Dog Day at the Pool is Wednesday, August 19, 2026, 5:00pm-6:30pm, at the Montpelier pool. The only day dogs are allowed to swim, this event is always a ton of fun. While dogs love it, plenty of people come just to watch the excitement of happy dogs playing!
Tickets are required. Too many dogs at once can pose a risk, so we will be selling a limited number of tickets, and you must purchase your ticket ahead of time.
Admission is $20 for one dog, and $10 for each additional dog. If you don’t have a dog and want to come watch, we’d appreciate it if you would purchase a ticket. Proceeds from ticket sales help cover our costs of the event, which are fairly high due to the event requiring so many of our staff to come and watch over all the dogs. Any remaining funds will go directly to the animals!
Don’t forget to bring your wallets… We will also be having a bake sale and toy sale at the event, proceeds benefit our animals.
