Water Safety Tips, in memory of Maggie
Maggie’s Dog Swim is in memory of Maggie, a four-year-old lab who passed away from water intoxication in the summer of 2016. Maggie was an experienced swimmer who enjoyed boating, family vacations at the beach, and anything that involved water and her people.
In memory of Maggie, dogs attending Maggie’s Dog Swim will receive a water-safe pet throw compliment of Maggie’s friends and family.
We also encourage you to observe the following Water Safety Tips:
Stephanie Myers and her 9-year-old Weimaraner, Bentley, will demonstrate one of their favorite water sports they enjoy doing together – Stand Up Paddleboarding!
Kristin Hunter-Siple and Tank from the Clinton County K9 Search and Rescue will demonstrate a scent search demonstration.
SPCA Volunteers Robyn Hannan and Nadine Sapiente will demonstrate how to safely kayak with your dog. Following the demonstration you can practice too!
