Pooch Plunge

Thank you to all the pups and their people who joined us for Pooch Plunge on October 10! Blackberry Farm Pools welcomed four-legged swimmers for a morning of splashing, paddling, and tail-wagging fun.

Dogs took over the pools for their own swim sessions, enjoying time in the water while their humans cheered them on from the deck. It was a treat to see so many pooches enjoying a pool day of their own!

2025 Event Recaps

Now occurring twice yearly, Pooch Plunge returned for the eighth year and for the first time in spring on Saturday, March 29, 2025. More than 160 playful pooches took over the Blackberry Farm pools, making a splash and having a blast. Nearly 200 dogs joined us for the fall edition on September 6 as well. Dogs met new pooch pals in the grassy area and played with the agility and dog toys provided, making it an unforgettable day of tail-wagging fun.
