Dunkin’ and BARK have entered the seventh year of their partnership to benefit the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. To mark the collaboration, the companies announced the launch of the 2026 Dunkin’ x BARK Collection, featuring plush toys modeled after Dunkin’ menu items.

On August 26, to celebrate National Dog Day, the companies hosted a “Dunkin’ for Dogs” event in Quincy, Massachusetts. This event included a dedicated dog drive-thru lane where pets were provided with treats and limited-edition bandanas in exchange for donations. 

To date, the partnership has raised over $15 million. These funds support initiatives such as Dogs for Joy, which provides trained facility dogs to children’s hospitals to assist patients with comfort and motivation during medical treatment.
