"The more people that come out, the more it supports our dog rescues and we so appreciate that being local rescue within Oxford County."

Collier says that the event is a fun day for the dogs.

"They get to go into the splash pad part. On the other side, people don't realize that there is a wading pool, so the bigger dogs can go in their and then they can go in there and then they can just go in there and splash around and have fun; and it's a great fundraiser for Tiny Paws Dog Rescue of Canada."
