Thank you to all who participated and to Spot Pet for sponsoring this year’s Halloween fun
and helping us celebrate the incredible dogs who make independence possible.

The chill of autumn is upon us, and orange and crimson leaves crunch beneath our feet. The pumpkin patch is alive with color and the apple orchards overflow under the harvest moon. . . 🍁 All of those poetic thoughts are delightful, but the thing we eagerly look forward to, even more than sweater weather and apple cider, is. . .
Each year, we invite our community to tap into their creativity and send us photos of Guiding Eyes pups dressed in their best Halloween costumes. As always, they delivered and narrowing it down to 10 finalists was no easy task!
Now, it’s your turn to help – VOTE for your favorite costume! Check out the Finalist Preview Gallery below to discover the 10 top costumes. Don’t forget, voting ends at midnight on October 30th! Return here for an announcement with the results on Halloween day, October 31st!

Did you know… From the time they are puppies, Guiding Eyes dogs are preparing for wearing a guide dog harness. To that end, Halloween costumes can serve an important purpose. Our little pups wear miniature fabric harnesses and Pups-on-Program practice “getting dressed” with their raisers, as an introduction to wearing a harness. As a working guide, a dog’s comfort level in this regard is critical to their success.
