About the Program
Established in 2022, Barking Backers, presented by Milk-Bone and in association with Embrace Pet Insurance and Pet Supplies Plus, is the Cleveland Browns' fan club for dogs! Barking Backers is for pup owners who want to connect their dogs to the Dawg Pound through unique merchandise, experiences, and timely information geared toward puppy parents.
Did You Know: With over 20,000 registered dogs, Barking Backers is officially the largest organized dog fan club in all of professional sport!
Our pack gives back, too!
To celebrate National Rescue Dog Day, Barking Backer members spent the afternoon volunteering at a local animal shelter, Berea ARF, at their Lend-A-Paw Volunteer Day 2024. Barking Backers donated 50 premium kits to the shelter and 26 volunteer hours to the pups looking for fur-ever homes.
