Dog Day of Summer
What a paw-some day at Dog Day of Summer!
Thank you to every pup and person who joined us at Mayfair Outdoor Pool for tail wags, splashes and one unforgettable end-of-summer swim. From the tiniest paddlers to the biggest cannonball-loving canines, it was wonderful to see so many happy dogs enjoying the pool.
A special thank you to our event partners, volunteers and the Saskatoon SPCA for helping make the day such a success.
We hope everyone headed home with wet paws, happy hearts and a very sleepy dog!
Until next year!
The Dog Day of Summer event is planned following the closure of Mayfair Outdoor Pool for the season. No human swimming will be permitted. Participation in this event is at you and your dog’s own risk.
