Pupapoolooza

Dogs will get to enjoy a swim in a Pima County pool in August.

We've enjoyed the pool all summer long, but now it's time for our four-legged besties to get in on the action.

Dubbed Pupapoolooza, Tucson-area dogs will get to enjoy a swim at two Pima County pools on two Saturdays this month.

The pup pool parties are free to attend, but registration is required. The first party takes place Saturday, Aug. 3 at Kino Pool, 2805 E. Ajo Way. The second party takes place Saturday, Aug. 10 at Picture Rocks Pool, 5615 N. Sanders Road. Small dogs under 30 pounds will get to swim from 9:30-10:30 a.m. and big dogs will get the pool from 11 a.m. to noon.Β 

Separate pool parties for small and large dogs will allow our furry friends to cool down.

Of course, Pupapooloza comes with some rules: you're responsible for your pet, including cleaning up their waste. Aggressive dogs are not allowed and neither are female dogs in season. Every dog must wear a collar and have a current license and up-to-date vaccinations.

Pima County Parks and Recreation will also be onsite accepting donations of sealed dog food and used blankets to be given to the Pima Animal Care Center.
