The “dog days of summer” are over, but don’t tell that to the dogs. They’ll soon have their day to enjoy summer as they take over a local public swimming pool. Dog Swim XII (12) is set for September 8th from 4 to 7 pm at Fassnight Pool, 1300 S. Campbell.
The pool is open only to dogs that day—no humans are allowed. Registration is $8 for one day and one owner with only one dog allowed per owner. Additional humans are $3, and proceeds benefit Cruse Dog Park, Springfield’s first off-leash dog park.
Pre-registration is required by September 1st at 5 pm. Proof of vaccination for parvo, distemper, bordetella and rabies is required. You can find a link to a printable registration form at ksmu.org.
