Cheyenne Park will be closed Monday August 11th for weed spraying.

K9Splash! is Here!
You and Your Dog Will Love It!
You can still register online for this year's event. Go to https://secure.getmeregistered.com/K9Splash. There is a small additional fee, but it is still less expensive than registering the day of the event. Please have your vet records and credit card information ready.

As always, you can still register in person, over the phone, or through the mail with no additional fees. However, in 2014 we will NOT be accepting off-leash park tags as proof of vaccinations because we require proof of rabies, parvo, and distemper. We are looking forward to another safe, fun, and exciting event. Hope to see you there.

K9Splash! takes place at Bever Park Pool in Cedar Rapids on Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17.

We still need volunteers. Will you help? Write to Jill.
