August 7, 2020—GILLETTE, WYOMING--Fur Kids Foundation, with support from Campbell County and the City of Gillette, is hosting a Pooch Plunge! Bring your dog to the Gillette City Pool, 909 S. Gillette Avenue, on Saturday, August 15. This year the Foundation is hosting three sessions:
Tennis balls and treats provided. Cost is $5 per dog per session, humans get in free. The health and safety of attendees and volunteers are very important to Fur Kids Foundation. Due to coronavirus (COVID-19), pre-registration and pre-payment is required to attend the Pooch Plunge. This can be taken online at www.furkidsfoundation.org/ppreg.html. Only 100 attendees can come per session. Participants are encouraged to wear a face shield or mask during the event; however, masks or shields will not be provided. Participants will be encouraged to practice safe physical (social) distancing at the event. If you have been in contact with someone with coronavirus within 14 days before the Pooch Plunge, or you feel sick the day of the event, we ask that you do not attend. Humans will not be allowed to play in the pool with their pups. Participants are asked to only bring dogs who are people and dog friendly to the event, and to keep control of their dog at all times. The staff at Red Hills Veterinary Hospital are helping Fur Kids Foundation make sure attendees’ pooches’ ears are in great health after playing in the water at the Plunge, so they have volunteered their time to make sure they are cleaned properly before you leave the event for FREE.
