Celebrate Easter with Your Furry Friend!

National Service Dogs’ Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs is a family event that includes your fur baby.

We invite you to join the celebration on Good Friday, April 3, 2026, in the Ontario cities of Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, London, Windsor, Hamilton and Calgary, Alberta. Together, we will empower children with autism and restore independence to veterans and first responders living with Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD).

How Does the EASTER EGG HUNT Work?

Thousands of colourful eggs are filled with prize tokens and a dog treat, which are hidden over a defined area of the local park. Participants (dogs with the assistance of their humans) will hunt, collect eggs and retrieve prizes from the collected eggs.

  1. Register
    1. Choose your location below and register (or download the offline registration form)
  2. Fundraise
    1. Collect pledges and fundraise leading up to your city’s hunt!
    2. The more funds you raise, the more eggs you can collect, and the more prizes you can win!
  3. Attend
    1. Bring your family, pup, and donations to the event on April 3, 2026.

Come out for a fun-filled day with lots of treats and the chance to win great prizes! Getting its start in Oakville, Ont. in 1998, the Easter Egg Hunt quickly became NSD’s largest and most anticipated event. All monies raised support NSD’s award-winning Certified Service Dog programs.
