As the dog days of summer come to an end and the regular summer swim season closes, San Bernardino County Regional Parks hosts its Doggie Pool-ooza event at Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park in Ontario on Saturday, Sept. 12 and Sunday, Sept. 13. During this annual event owners can bring their four legged pals, who have had to endure the summer in a fur coat, for one last dip in the cool pool.
The event is sponsored by the Ontario Spay and Neuter, who will be providing discounted nail trimming for $10, micro-chipping for $15 and various vaccinations ranging from $10-$15. The event will also include vendor booths, Li’l Dog Races and other contests, such as the K-9 Swimsuit Competition, and Talent Show.
If you don’t already have a pet, there will be on-site adoption opportunities from Animals R First Fund and Hope to Home for Cats. There will be a food vendors for all human attendees, including the Baby’s Bad-Ass Burgers and the Rolling Sushi Truck. To cool the humans off, Snowie’s California will have their shaved ice on sale including a syrup station to put your own flavors on the icy treat.
Friends of Regional Parks will there be collecting slightly used/clean blankets, bags of dry dog food, and other dog supplies to be donated to local pet shelters.
