Tuakau Pound Pups Pool Party 2026 - Small and nervous dogs only
Friday 10 April UPDATE - Tuakau Pup Pool Party - DATE CHANGE ALERT!
In an effort to stay safe and avoid the incoming cyclone this Sunday, we’re rescheduling the Tuakau Waikato Pound Pups Pool Party to Sunday 19 April.
Same fun, same furry friends - just a sunnier, safer day to enjoy it!
Thanks for your understanding and we can’t wait to see you and your pups there.
We know that busy dog events can sometimes be overwhelming for smaller or nervous pups.
From 1pm to 2pm, the Tuakau Swimming Pools will be reserved exclusively for small dogs (under 20kg) and dogs who may feel a little shy or anxious around bigger groups.
This quieter session gives then the chance to enjoy the water, explore at their own pace, and have fun in a more relaxed environment.
Key details
Cost: $15 per dog, EFTPOS facilities are available.
All money raised will be split between our own desexing programme, the PUP fund, and Fundraising for Impounded Dogs.
Spot prizes and goodies
We have two incredible raffles (one per event), $5 per ticket. Ticket scan only be purchased at the event, with winners drawn at random the following week.
Important
All dogs must be fully vaccinated, registered with your local council, in good health, and well socialised with people and other dogs. All dogs must be on a dog when not in water and all owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs.
