Bark Balls partners with tournaments, clubs, and brands to give tennis balls a second life through play, community impact, and sustainability stories worth sharing.
Three simple ways to give tennis balls a second life. Pick the one that fits — we tailor the rest.
Big event, lots of balls? We collect on-site and turn match balls into a story.
Ongoing collection, completely hands-off.
Co-branded partnerships that put fetch and purpose together — like Hike Doggie.
You have tennis balls headed for the landfill. We have a way to turn them into joy, impact, and a story worth sharing.
Getting started is simple. We ship you a free collection kit with everything you need to start diverting tennis balls — and we handle the logistics. Here's what's inside:
Your part: display the signage, tell your members, and tag @bark.balls — we hand you ready-made captions, so it takes minutes. (Optional: chip in for return shipping to send even more to shelters.)
You bring: shipping & logistics — so even more of every dollar reaches shelters.
As an official partner of the Dallas Open, Bark Balls helped give tournament tennis balls a second life. Instead of ending up in landfills, used balls from this ATP 500 event were transformed from waste to wags — reducing waste, supporting shelters, and extending the impact of the tournament long after match point.
Proof that sustainability in sport can be simple, meaningful, and built to last.
More trail. More tail. We keep Hike Doggie franchises stocked with upcycled tennis balls — so every adventure ends with a good game of fetch.
Hike Doggie takes pups on guided outdoor adventures across the country — and a great hike deserves a great game of fetch at the summit. That's where we come in.
We supply their franchises with upcycled tennis balls, so trail dogs get more play and more joy outdoors — while balls that were headed for the landfill get another throw instead. More fetch for the dogs, less waste for the planet.
"Because every ball deserves another throw."
Now fetching alongside Hike Doggie franchises in CO, TN, GA, NM, ID, and VA.
Bark Balls works with tournaments, clubs, schools, shelters, and pet businesses to give tennis balls a second life.
We're always looking for tennis facilities, tournaments, schools, and dog-friendly businesses to partner with.
Start a Conversation →No. Partnering is free. For clubs, facilities, and schools we ship a free starter kit with a prepaid return label, so there's no cost to start collecting tennis balls.
Reach out through the form below. We'll send everything you need — a collection box, prepaid return labels, and signage. When the box is full, you seal it and drop it off. We handle the rest.
Collected balls are inspected and given a second life as affordable dog toys. Proceeds support animal shelters, humane societies, and environmental causes — and your partner impact report shows exactly where they went.
Tennis tournaments, clubs, facilities, schools and universities, and dog-friendly brands and businesses. If you have used tennis balls or an audience that loves dogs, there's a way to partner.
