Girl Scouts Launch Patch Pals Cookies for Dogs
Oregon dog owners can order the first Girl Scout Cookie made for dogs online beginning January 12, 2027.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Dogs
Local Girl Scouts introduced Patch Pals, a Girl Scout Cookie made for dogs, to shelter dogs at Oregon Humane's Portland and Salem locations. The treats are available exclusively through online ordering beginning January 12, 2027, or when Girl Scout Cookie season begins locally, whichever comes first.
Why it matters
For Oregon households with dogs, Patch Pals are a new way to treat a pet that doesn't involve sharing human food, and they are the first Girl Scout Cookie designed specifically for dogs. The launch also gives families a fresh link between Girl Scout fundraising and local animal shelters.
Patch Pals are soft-baked, chewy, blueberry muffin-inspired treats shaped like Girl Scout patches representing Girl Scouts, Community, Exploration, and Play. The introduction took place at Oregon Humane's Portland and Salem locations.
The players
Girl Scouts
The national youth organization whose local councils created Patch Pals as a dog-focused companion to its well-known cookie program.
Oregon Humane
An Oregon animal shelter with locations in Portland and Salem that hosted the Patch Pals introduction for shelter dogs.
The details
Patch Pals are shaped like the patches Girl Scouts earn, each representing a theme: Girl Scouts, Community, Exploration, and Play. Local Girl Scouts brought the treats to shelter dogs at Oregon Humane's Portland and Salem locations, where the dogs were introduced to them during the event. The treats are sold only through online ordering, so buyers will need to order online rather than purchase from a booth.
Timeline

The Home Front
Girl Scout Cookie sales are a long-running fundraising tradition, and Patch Pals applies that model to a new product category. The launch sits alongside a growing number of pet-treat options for households that want dog-safe alternatives to human snacks.
If you have a dog, consider keeping Patch Pals in mind for the next Girl Scout Cookie season, since ordering is online-only and begins January 12, 2027 or earlier. Check the treat's ingredient list against your dog's diet and any allergies before buying.
The takeaway
