Fourth Annual Doggy Dive-In August 14 in Joplin
Joplin, MO – You could call it a pool party for the pooches! Joplin Parks and Recreation and the Joplin Humane Society are partnering for the fourth annual Doggy Dive-In to be held at Cunningham Aquatic Center from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday Aug. 14th.
Dog owners are welcome to bring their furry four-legged friend to take a plunge in the pool before it is drained for the season. All different breeds and sizes are welcome to come and practice their dog-paddling. They can play fetch, paddle around in the shallow area, or leap off the deck for their favorite toy.
Chemical levels will be safe for dogs – but not humans – so people will only be able to get in the water up to their knees.
This event is limited to the first 25 registered dogs. Registration must be done in-person at the Joplin Parks and Recreation office located at 3301 W. 1st Street. Dog owners must show a copy of their dog’s updated shot records during registration to enter the dog swim. Cost is $5 per dog. Registrants who bring a product donation for the Humane Society will receive free admission.
