Thanks to dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors and a heap of water-loving dogs the annual event to help raise money for the Madison K9 Unit is back. We are expecting a crowd so be sure to come early and have your registration form filled out to avoid long waiting times. 

Sorry, no puppies or intact dogs allowed. All dogs must have proper vaccinations and current dog license. It is very important to note that we have a ZERO AGGRESSION POLICY. Any dogs that engage in aggressive behavior will be asked to leave immediately for the safety and security of all participants.

SAVE THE DATE

Thursday, Sept. 9 is Community Give Back Day at The Silly Yak Bakery & Bread Barn. At the end of the day, owner Holly Beach will write a check to Capital K9s for 10 percent of the day's total sales. 

If you can't make it that day, then just donate your pocket change after purchasing all your whole-wheat and gluten-free bakery needs. The Silly Yak Bakery & Bread Barn will have a donation jar available for all of September. At the end of the month, they will make their own generous donation of $100 and hand over whatever your couch didn't gobble up for the month.  

 


What is Dog Paddle?
Each year Capital K9s hosts a canine only swim event to raise money for the Madison Police Department K9 Unit.  A census of the greater Madison area puts the number of licensed dogs at near 15,000.  More than 1000 of those were at the event in 2009 and that number is expected to climb. Activities may include, but are not limited to the following:

  •       Biggest splash contest
  •       Fastest retrieve contest 
  •       Farthest water jump contest
  •       “Coolest wet dog” contest 
  •       Photos with K9 Madison K9 teams
  •       Live remote radio broadcast 

How much does it cost?
There is an admission and registration fee of $10 per dog. The fee also includes entry for two people.  For those without dogs there will be a fee of $5 per person. Children 14 and under will be admitted free.

When is it?
September 12, 10 am – 4 pm. Other than menacing weather, this event will go on rain-or-shine.

Where is it?
Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Swimming Pool
325 Olin Avenue
