STAFFORD, Va. – If your pup loves the water, mark your calendar—Drool in the Pool is back for two days of splashy fun in Stafford County.
The folks at Stafford Parks just told Potomac Local News they’re opening the pools to dogs (and their humans) on Saturday and Sunday, September 6–7. Bring your furry friend, a towel, and a swimsuit for a morning of canine cannonballs and belly flops.
The event runs from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at two locations: Woodlands Pool in Stafford on Saturday, and the Mark Lenzi Pool in Fredericksburg on Sunday. It’s $6 to attend, and donations like dog food, laundry detergent, or towels are encouraged—they’ll go straight to the Stafford County Animal Shelter.
Just a heads-up: Owners must be 18 or older, and you’ll need to show written proof that your dog’s rabies vaccine is current.
Here’s the full press release:
