Grab your four-legged friends and make a splash at New Leash on Life USA’s Doggy Pool “Pawty” on Saturday, August 8 at the Philadelphia Pet Hotel and Villas.

The event, which is raising money for New Leash on Life USA’s life-changing work to help give rescued shelter dogs and prison inmates a second chance, gives dog lovers a chance to spend some fun in the sun with their furry pals. Guests will have the chance to participate in a doggy swimsuit contest; teach their dog how to roll over, sit-up and more in a trick workshop with Best of Philly Dog Trainer, Nicole Larocco-Skeehan from Philly Unleashed; enjoy summer beverages, pool snacks; and more.

For guests who want to splurge on their four legged friend, there’s a VIP package where your doggy can escape the heat in a full size pool with an escort, gain access to a special doggy snack bar and enjoy a number of “spa-w” services like  nail trimming, ear cleaning, towel dry, belly rubs, and more.

New Leash on Life USA is a non-profit prison dog-training program that saves the lives of shelter dogs at-risk of euthanasia and gives incarcerated inmates a chance for redemption. New Leash teaches inmates to train and socialize the dogs assigned to live with them 24/7, enabling these rejected animals to become highly desirable for adoption and creating real-world employment opportunities for our inmate participants upon parole. By rescuing each other, both human and canine graduates of the New Leash program can look ahead to a bright and successful future.
