On the final day that the Jefferson Municipal Pool is open for the year, it will be invaded by some of our furry friends.

Animal Protection and Education (APE) Charity of Paton and Boone Owner Linn Price is hosting the annual Doggie Paddle this Sunday from 5-6pm at the pool. She tells Raccoon Valley Radio dogs and their owners are encouraged to spend an hour at the pool for a free-will donation. She notes this is a fundraiser event for APE to continue to provide low cost spay and neutering services for pets. Additionally, there will be dog toys for the canines to enjoy while in the pool.

Once the event is over, the pool will be closed for the year. Price adds they will accept monetary donations year round and you can contact her at their Boone location at 515-460-7720 to make a donation.
