Annual Sonterra MUD Dog Days Event

As the hot, sunny days of summer slowly transform into the, well, hopefully less hot embrace of autumn, Sonterra MUD Parks and Recreation is rolling out a special invitation to everyone in 76537 and their furry friends to help bring the outdoor season to a close. Get ready to make a splash and indulge in a fun-filled morning at the annual Dog Days event.

Cool Off In Style

The Sonterra Pool is awaiting the playful dives and splashes of your four-legged pals. The pool will be closed to hoomans afterward so there is no need for concern about cleanliness for your next swim. All swim facilities begin a scheduled deep clean and off-season servicing once the pool season ends.

Games And Contests

Enter to win door prizes and participate in a range of exciting contests. With some luck and canine charisma, your furry friend might just bag a prize.

Exclusive Goodies

The first 50 dogs to make their grand entry will be treated to a tennis ball and other delightful toys. And don't worry if you're not among the earliest; every dog will go home with a treat-filled goody bag as a memento of their amazing day out.

Make It Official

For a small admission of $3 per dog, your pet gets an all-access pass to the day's festivities.

Rules for Hoomans

Safety and harmony are our top priorities. So before you head out, be sure to take note of our guidelines and rules to ensure a joyful experience for everyone.

•  Hoomans are not allowed to swim in the pool.

•  Be accountable. Owners are legally responsible for their dogs' actions and any injuries or damages caused by them.

•  Clean up after your pet. All feces must be cleaned up by owners and disposed of properly.

•  Dogs must be leashed until they are inside the pool area.

•  Dog owners must carry a leash at all times, closely supervise their dogs, and at no time may the owner leave the fenced area without his/her dog(s).

•  Ensure your dog has an up-to-date rabies vaccination tag.

•  Voice control is essential. Ensure you can command your pet vocally.

•  Owners must fill any holes their dogs dig.

•  Owners must remove pinch, spike, and choke collars prior to entering the fenced area.

•  Kids need supervision too! Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
