Approximately 1,000 treat-filled holiday eggs will be scattered across the lawn, with separate hunt areas for dogs over and under 35 pounds to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Guests can also look forward to:

A costume contest with prizes awarded for the top 3 best “bunny” ensembles
Delicious JC’s Gourmet served with libations
Pup-approved Davis Dog Treats
Music curated by DJ Diamond Dan, and
A fabulous silent auction sponsored by local businesses.

Walk for a Cause with Dog-Harmony at the 6th Annual Hops for Hounds on January 18

by Webmaster | Jan 6, 2026 | Events, News, Press Releases

Freeport, Fla. – Is your puppy resolved to enjoy more walks with you in the New Year? Dog-Harmony’s Sixth Annual Hops for Hounds on Sunday, January 18, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., is the perfect opportunity to reach that goal.

The annual dog walk and after party, presented by Emerald Coast Hospice Care and hosted for the second year by Props Brewery in Hammock Bay in Freeport, promises to be a ‘pawsome’ way to get those steps in.

“We encourage all dog-loving families in our area to walk for a cause at Hops for Hounds,” said Nancy Bown, CPDT-KA and founder of Dog-Harmony. “Props Brewery in Hammock Bay provides a great, family-friendly space to socialize after a fun stroll with our four-legged friends.”

Participants will kick off the event with a scenic, one-mile stroll along Hammock Bay’s wooded paths, followed by a lively after party at Props Brewery featuring craft beer, music, sponsor giveaways, a silent auction, food trucks, digital doggie photos, and more.

Tickets, which include one human and one dog, are $30 in advance or $35 per entry the day of the event. Commemorative Hops for Hounds t-shirts are still available for early registrations, although requested sizes cannot be guaranteed. Each human walker over 21 will also receive a complimentary craft beer. Dog-Harmony encourages early registrations to secure an event shirt at https://dog-harmony.org/events/6th-annual-hops-for-hounds.

Dog-Harmony requires that all dogs be at least 6 months old and current on rabies vaccinations, and requests that no prong, choke, or shock collars be used on dogs at the event.

“The proceeds from our signature fundraising events like Hops for Hounds directly support our therapy dog, child education, and Paw Pantry programs to keep pups and people together in our local communities,” Bown adds.

In 2025, Dog-Harmony provided 4,687 local children with humane education programming; supported local hospitals, schools, and nonprofits with more than 1,687 hours of therapy dog visits; and donated nearly $6,900 in dog food and supplies and 90 hours of complimentary dog training to assist families in need, allowing them to keep their dogs at home.
