For the first time, dogs will be allowed to travel on the MTR alongside their owners as part of Dogathon 2026!
The Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has partnered with MTR Corporation to introduce this special one-day dog-friendly travel initiative, marking a rare moment when the city’s public transport system opens its doors to cute, four-legged commuters.
On Mar. 1, up to 1,200 dogs will be able to ride on select MTR lines around the city for the upcoming Annual Charity Walk and Pet Carnival! While it’s a big win for furparents and their furbabies, participants will need to follow a few guidelines to ensure a smooth and organized experience for everyone.
Passengers must sign up for the SPCA Dogathon 2026 via the official website, with a required donation of HK$90 to receive an MTR “one-day Woof Pass.” Each wristband is valid for one small- or medium-sized dog only, and availability is capped at 1,200 tickets.
Furparents and their dogs will be allowed on the last car of the train on Heavy Rail and Light Rail networks, with an unlimited number of journeys that day. Each dog must always be accompanied by its owner and must be kept inside their carriers while on the MTR. Pet trolleys are not allowed.
Dogathon 2026 culminates at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort with the Charity Walk, where participants receive a themed T-shirt and a reversible dog scarf by OHU! Design, and a medal at the finish line. Afterwards, the Pet Carnival offers shopping, pamper sessions, photo spots, and playful activities for furparents and furbabies alike!
It’s a one-tail-wagging day for Hong Kong’s beloved pups — and their owners — to enjoy a day out in the city together. Registration online via this link closes on Feb. 2, 2026, so make sure to sign up ASAP!
