As the summer break draws to a close, the Animal Rescue of Carroll (ARC), in partnership with the Carroll Aquatic Center, is offering local dog owners an opportunity for their pets to play in the pool this weekend. ARC Director Jessica Briggs says their annual Doggie Dip is always popular, and she expects another crowd this year.
The 2025 ARC Doggie Dip will be held on Sunday, Aug. 17, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The entry fee is $10 per dog or $15 for two dogs, which is a slight increase from last year to account for rising expenses at the shelter. Participation is as easy as showing up with your pooch and paying the admission fee. However, Briggs asks owners to consider how their dog may interact with others before bringing them.
Briggs says the money generated from fundraisers like this generally supports operational expenses, but they have a specific idea in mind for 2025’s Doggie Dip.
Again, the Animal Rescue of Carroll’s Doggie Dip is this Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Carroll Aquatic Center.
