PetWalk 2025

Mahalo to all that joined us on Saturday, October 25, 2025 for our 35th annual PetWalk Presented by Fetch Pet Insurance at Kapiʻolani Regional Park!

PetWalk is the Hawaiian Humane Society’s signature annual community fundraiser and Oʻahu’s largest outdoor pet-friendly event, raising critical funds that go directly toward helping more than 13,000 local animals that seek Hawaiian Humane’s services each year.

This year’s PetWalk took place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Kapiʻolani Regional Park, with festivities including a scenic 1.8-mile walk, as well as a shorter senior stroll option for participants who prefer a more leisurely pace. Throughout the morning, attendees enjoyed a variety of pet-friendly vendors, local food options, a costume contest, music and the opportunity to meet adoptable animals on-site.

Animal lovers island-wide were invited to register their own individual or team fundraising page to maximize your lifesaving impact and enjoy the festivities with friends, family and colleagues. Each registrant received an exclusive PetWalk 2025 t-shirt.

NEW THIS YEAR!

Hawaiian Humane was honored to welcome acclaimed actress and animal lover Amy Hill as this year’s distinguished emcee, who brought her signature warmth and humor to the festivities. Joining the celebration as Grand Marshal was Dede Guss, whose dedication to the community and passion for animal welfare embodies the spirit of PetWalk. Adding to the excitement, PetWalk 2025 featured doggie yoga for the first time at 7:30 am, led by Cecilia Ryan, a dedicated Hawaiian Humane Adoption Assistant volunteer. This pet-friendly yoga session offered participants and their furry companions a chance to start the morning with mindfulness and connection before the walk begins.

In a generous show of support, Pet Hospitals of Hawaii sponsored all adoption fees for pets available on-site at PetWalk and at Hawaiian Humane’s Mōʻiliʻili and Kosasa Family campuses on October 25. This partnership helped that 61 pets find loving homes that day! 

This year, pets and their people could win first, second or third place in four pet-acular categories:

  • Most Creative/Original
  • Best Owner-Pet(s)
  • Senior Su-PAW stars
  • Best Team Costume 

Winners took home fantastic prizes like offerings from Coastal Appliance Co., a Regal Theatre package, products from Lanikai Bath and Body, Hawaiian Humane Society swag and Amazon gift cards!
