TORONTO, ON. – June 13, 2023 – Puppies and dogs at Humane Societies in the GTA are wagging their tails in delight as they enjoy donated ice cream treats! Hundreds of lucky shelter pups were treated to ‘dog-approved’ ice cream donated to Toronto Humane Society by Barker & Snouts, a local company specializing in all-natural frozen treats for dogs.
“On hot summer days, everyone deserves a chance to cool down – including our canine friends! Thanks to Barker & Snouts’ donation we can bring some additional joy to hundreds of shelter dogs by offering them a frozen treat that they will love,” explains Phil Nichols, Chief Operating Officer at Toronto Humane Society.
Toronto Humane Society not only treated the dogs in their care to ice cream but helped deliver hundreds of the frozen treats to Ontario SPCA animal centres in Orangeville, Barrie, Muskoka and Orillia, as well as the Humane Society of Durham Region.
“Our furry friends at the Ontario SPCA were wagging their tails as they devoured their frozen treats today! This sweet surprise added some excitement to their lives as they wait to find their forever homes,” shared Bonnie Bishop, East Regional Manager of Community Outreach Services at the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society.
The frozen treats come in a variety of ‘dog-approved’ flavours, including peanut butter and banana, mango, and pumpkin.
Toronto Humane Society’s mission is to improve the lives of animals.

Barker & Snouts launched in 2018, with a desire to make an all-natural frozen treat for the dogs we all love. Starting out in small batches and sold from their old fashioned “Pupcycle” ice cream bike, to now available in pet food, grocery and other retailers across Ontario and the Maritimes. Barker & Snouts is made with simple, wholesome all-natural ingredients that you can feel good about giving your dog. Unlike other treats, Barker & Snouts frozen treats are made to last. A traditional treat is gone in a flash, but Barker & Snouts is made to be a slow reward. This gives you the option of a few licks at a time, or just putting the cup down and letting your dog enjoy! www.barkerandsnouts.com
