• All dogs must remain on a leash at ALL times including when you and your dog are seated in the ballpark. Retractable leashes are not permitted.
• All participants are required to sign the Participant Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”). You must bring a signed Agreement or sign one at registration to participate in the Event.
• Each dog must have a “canine” ticket for admission to the Event, and must be accompanied by at least one ticket-holding adult owner over the age of 18. All participants must register/check-in at the Left Field Entrance, only, starting at 5:00PM on the day of the Event.
• The Left Field Entrance will also serve as the only exit for dogs and their owners.
• The Clippers reserve the right to determine whether a dog and its owner are an acceptable participant for Puppypalooza. The Clippers have partnered with the Franklin County Dog Shelter on this event. We will best use this experience to help make a determination should we feel it necessary to deny participation.
• Participants are expected to practice responsible pet ownership. If you have a dog that is an aggressive breed, or that has aggressive tendencies, please do not attend this Event. Please do not bring your dog if it is unpredictable in crowds, with other dogs or with strangers. The Ohio Revised Code, Section 955.11, defines an aggressive dog.
• There will be a designated area, by the Left Field Entrance, for dogs to relieve themselves while attending the Event. Please come prepared to clean up after your dog.
• The Clippers reserve the right to ask owner and dog to leave the ballpark due to continued misbehavior or difficulties involving the dog, or owners that have been warned about staying in the areas designated for dogs and humans.
• A “Puppy Parade” will take place prior to the game. If you wish to participate, please be lined up above Section 23 by 5:55PM.
• Only a limited number of “canine” tickets are available for the Event, so please register early.
• Inclement weather: The Clippers will make a determination on a future ticket arrangement, that evening or the following day, should weather become an issue for the Event.
• Parking: Please visit the Arena District “Click and Park” website so you can easily pre-plan your parking arrangements for the evening. Visit arenadistrictparking.com.
