Barky Brown: A PEZ Legacy of Compassion and Collectible Joy

In 2005, a special addition was made to the world of 

PEZ dispensers—a charming character named Barky.

Officially known as 

Barky, Barkina,

Barclay and Barkette

these adorable dispensers quickly captured

 the hearts of collectors and animal lovers alike. 

More than just a delightful collectible, 

Barky was introduced with a noble purpose:

all profits from its sales were dedicated to 

Save Our Strays, an organization committed 

to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming 

unwanted dogs and cats. 

Through this initiative, Barky has been 

instrumental in providing countless animals

 with a second chance at life.

Over the years, Barky has seen an impressive 

array of releases—190 different versions since 

its debut. Each release brought a unique charm, 

making some of these Barky Brown PEZ dispensers

incredibly rare and highly sought after. For collectors,

these dispensers are not merely another item for 

their shelves but a highlight of their PEZ collections, 

representing a blend of joy, nostalgia, and a good cause.

To help enthusiasts track their collections, a complete 

pictorial guide of all Barky Brown PEZ dispensers has 

been created. This guide ensures that collectors 

can verify they have every version, from 

the common to the exclusive.
