Introduction

Hong Kong Guide Dogs Association’s (HKGDA) signature HalloWoof event is back! Although we cannot meet each other face to face this year due to the pandemic, but it won’t discourage us to keep exercising and dressing up with our pets. What’s more important is we can do charity while doing so!   For this year’s “HalloWoof Guide Dogs Online Walk”, we have Centaline Charity Fund as Title Sponsor and local designer brand Chocolate Rain for the visuals.   The “Spook-tastic Costume Contest” is also back, dress up with your pets to win big prizes! (please see below for instructions)*   We hope this event could encourage pet owners and individuals to keep exercising and walking your pets, and at the same time help raise awareness of guide dog services, the visually impaired community and to promote social inclusion in the society. Please support HKGDA!   Sign up for both 2KM and 4KM categories to collect both medals!
