Dogs must have a current rabies certificate or a letter from their veterinarian stating that they have received their rabies vaccination in order to participate. Tags are not accepted as proof of vaccination. Cost of the event is $5 per dog.

Dogs must be kept under the control of their owners at all times. Due to health and safety reasons, people will not be allowed to join the dogs in the water.

Raffle tickets will be available, with proceeds to be donated to the Montgomery County Humane Society and the Rockville Youth Recreation Fund.
