Pooch Plunge 2018, Adopt-a-thon, and Food Drive - Saturday, September 8, 2018, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Haynes Park & Pool, Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The City of Rio Rancho Parks and Recreation and Pet Food Gone Wild have come together to mark the final days of summer. Bring your dog(s) out to Haynes Pool for one last swim before the outdoor pools close for the season. There will also be various animal rescue groups and shelters there trying to find lovable pets good homes. There will be food vendors, jumpers, and lots of other things to see and do. To help these shelters we are also holding a pet food drive. Donations include: pet food, cat litter, gently used blankets, towels, newspapers, paper towels, and clean toys. Pets without current vaccination papers and tags will not be admitted. All dogs must be leashed and handled by an owner 16 and older if not in the pool area. NO EXCEPTIONS.
