Dogs everywhere, rejoice! The Dunkin’ x BARK toy collection is back for 2025, and it’s serving up squeaks, crinkles, and fluff in every sip and bite. Even better? Every toy helps kids battling illness and hunger through the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. That’s right – your pup gets a toy, and kids across the country get a little more joy. Win-win!

This Year’s Doggone Good Menu
For a $16 donation at participating Dunkin’ locations (or online at bark.co/dunkin), you’ll get one of these limited-edition toys – designs this year feature a Dunkin’ Cold Brew or Chocolate Frosted Donut – as a thank you.

These aren’t just fun fetchables – they fuel programs like Dogs for Joy® which places highly trained facility dogs in children’s hospitals across the country. These four-legged heroes help kids learn to take medication, provide comfort during tough treatments, and make hospital stays a little brighter.
So far, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has supported 50 facility dogs in 33 hospitals, bringing joy to thousands of kids nationwide. And the pack is growing! This year, 11 new pups from Foundation partner Canine Assistants – Pru, Blueberry, Butternut, Shelley, Bubbles, Brioche, Marshmallow, Matcha, Silly, Nitro, Auggie, and Beau – are training for their future jobs as full-time joy-bringers. 🐶💜
As Mollie Collum, Director of the Foundation, puts it: “With each toy, we’re spreading joy twice over—once to your pup, and again to kids who need it most.”

Joy That Goes Beyond the Toy
The Foundation team and six current Dogs for Joy celebrated the launch of the newest Dunkin’ x BARK collection on National Dog Day (August 26) at BARK HQ in New York with a “Pawlates” class (think pilates, but with way more wagging). Dogs played, humans stretched, and everyone got a taste of what these toys – and the incredible facility dogs – are all about.
Fetch Yours Before They’re Gone
These toys don’t stick around for long (pups tend to call dibs fast). Grab yours today at a Dunkin’ location or bark.co/dunkin.
Because when you buy a squeaky cold brew or donut for your dog, you’re brewing up joy for kids who need it most. 🐾☕🍩
