FKF hosts pool party fundraiser for dogs

Fur Kids Foundation, with support from Campbell County and the City of Gillette, is hosting a Pooch Plunge so you can watch your pups have a blast plunging into the water. 

Bring your dog to the Gillette City Pool, 909 S. Gillette Avenue, on Saturday, August 26. This year, the Foundation is holding two sessions at the Pooch Plunge: 10-11:30 pm and 12-1:30 pm. Cost is $5 per dog per session, humans get in free. Handlers/owners are limited to two dogs; if you have four dogs, you must have two handlers.

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.
