‘Over the River and through the wood, to Oregon Humane we go.’ Through gusty wind and rain, HSCO’s volunteer Win got Macy safely to Portland.

HSCO’s team works collaboratively to find the best path and placement for animals in our care. After six weeks at HSCO, sweet Macy was accepted into Oregon Humane Society’s behavior modification program. Macy will gain new skills that will enable her to thrive in a new home.

We put out a call to drive Macy to Oregon Humane Society in Portland on a stormy day, and Win volunteered his time to get Macy safely there. We are thankful for our partnership with Oregon Humane Society.

We’re Hoppy to report that sweet Tibbar was adopted today!🐰
This young gal has been wanting somebunny to love and care for. The family has previously had a rabbit, and felt Tibbar, the breast cancer survivor, was a perfect match.

Tibbar’s three outfits, harness, leash, snacks, food and other items will get them off to a great start.

Bow-WOW & Meow! 73 of our guests were adopted during our two week Unleash Your Love Adoption promotion. Thank you to those who opened their hearts and homes to 36 dogs, 28 cats, 7 Guinea Pigs, 1 Rabbit and 1 Rat. ❤️

On Saturday the 15th, our staff was so busy doing 17 adoptions, they didn’t have time to capture many adoption photos.

High-paw to HSCO’s entire team of staff and volunteers who provide vital veterinary care, comfort, enrichment, exercise and adoption for all of our guests.

02/15/2025

Tibbar hopped into the KTVZ - NewsChannel 21 studio for Pet Pals like a pro. This 5 year old breast cancer survivor loves people of all ages, enjoys strutting in her three outfits, savors sweet kisses on her head, enjoys being held, allows nail trims, has lived with another rabbit, and recovered from surgery like a champ. (Videos in story)

Give this unicorn a soft spot to hop for the rest of her life. HSCO’s veterinary team removed the mass on her chest with a good margin. Tibbar’s prognosis is good, and will bring endless joy to her new family.

Local Artist Clara Smith Wins HSCO’s Pup Crawl Logo Competition

The Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) proudly announces Clara Smith of Bend, OR, as the winner of our 2025 Pup Crawl logo competition.

Chosen from over a dozen talented entrants, Smith's design captures the spirit of our beloved Pup Crawl with its bold, fun imagery. The logo submission was inspired by her playful dogs and their treat-loving antics.

As a Western artist and graphic designer, Smith saw this contest as "the perfect collaboration" to support the organization that brought joy into her life. "Participating in this contest allowed me to give back to HSCO, where we adopted our Australian Cattle Dog, C**t, five years ago," Smith explained

Smith’s passion for animals is reflected in her family of two dogs, three cats (one a fellow HSCO alumni), and two horses. “My fiancé and I are forever grateful to HSCO for bringing such loving animals into our lives,” said Smith.

Her winning design will be prominently featured on Pup Crawl pint glasses, beanies, and in all event promotions.

The 13th annual Pup Crawl is a much-anticipated event that is a highlight of our community’s social calendar in March, and a vital fundraiser to help vulnerable animals in Central Oregon. Thanks to our sponsors, Bend Pet Express and Bend Studio, 100% of every Pup Crawl beanie and pint sold in a commemorative glass benefits local animals.

Join HSCO at a Pup Crawl every Friday and Saturday in March from 4:30 to 7:00 pm:
Saturday, March 1 at Monkless Belgian Ales
Friday, March 7 at Van Henion Brewing & Bridge 99*

Meet the Marvelous Miss Macy, our Border Collie superstar!
After a cozy overnight sleepover with Heidi Marston, Director of Pet Placement Initiatives at PetSmart Charities, she's on the prowl for her forever family. Could that be you?

About Macy: She’s a pro with house manners, happy to be your shadow, quickly adapts to new routines as if she’s always known them, and is an absolute blast to be around - especially if you throw a frisbee her way! Macy is looking for an active family who can match her high-energy vibes and keep her clever mind engaged. A busy Border is a happy Border!

So what’s the deal with fostering? Fostering is incredibly rewarding - it provides our furry guests with a much-needed break from the shelter, reduces their stress, and significantly increases their chances of finding a forever home. Our large dogs, in particular, really appreciate having more room to stretch their legs and all the love they can soak up from their foster families. 🐾❤️
Got room in your heart and home? Join the HSCO foster family today! Click www.hsco.org/volunteering/foster-program to apply to foster or shoot your questions over to [email protected].

Leaping with Joy for a Christmas Toy at the Humame Society of Central Oregon 2024

Laughter and cheer filled the air as the Humane Society of Central Oregon’s furry guests picked out a toy from Santa Paws. The unique personalities shined as they pounced or cooed with pleasure. The heartwarming video follows a dog's nose as they sniff their way to their toy. Some leaped and bounded with joy, while others preferred to get love from those watching the magical moments. The experience is a powerful reminder of the simple pleasures companion animals find in the world around them, and the pure joy they bring to our lives. Monty, Joy and Blue are patiently waiting for a family or new best friend . . . will that be you? Thank you Monkless Belgian Ales for sponsoring the toys that brought so much joy to every animal in our shelter. Video donated by @winscojo

Wait for it . . . Kit Kat caught in the act! Kit Kat overcame obstacles no kitten should suffer. She was found alone and abandoned as a teeny two week old kitten. Children found and brought the newborn home, and it needed intense care. It was brought to HSCO for the care it needed to survive. HSCO’s foster family bottle fed and raised “Stella” for six weeks. She was adopted as soon as she was ready and renamed “Kit Kat”. Today, Kit Kat keeps her fourteen year old feline family member “young with her vocal & physical sass & high activity! She insists we let her drink from each and every faucet in the house & will meow for us to turn them on. And she also steals bacon…. Thank you for our wild, feisty kitty & wonderful times!” This PURRfectly mischievous feline was adopted in November 2020 when the mom and daughter duo volunteered at HSCO.

Thanksgiving for HSCO Shelter & Community Pets

On Thanksgiving, tails were wagging amongst barks and purrs of excitement as HSCO staff and volunteers served a specially prepared dinner donated by J DUB to our shelter guests. Outside, volunteers gave pet food and pet beds to those in need. The celebration went beyond the dinner plate. The dogs enjoyed Thanksgiving flavored interactive Kong toys, extra walks, and play time. The cats enjoyed playing with volunteers and getting extra love. The small animals received extra cuddles from our dedicated team of volunteers. During this time of giving, HSCO wanted to ensure that all animals have extra comfort and nourishment despite any economic constraints. Volunteers distributed free pet beds and food to pet owners in need. The cozy new pet beds are generously provided in partnership with Fences For Fido and Greater Good Charities.

Tag, You’re It!

Tag’s charisma has stolen the hearts of HSCO volunteers and staff. Help Tag by Sharing this post 🐾 This eight year old Shepherd x Golden Retriever mix wiggled his way into a sleepover with a team member. Tag easily joined this couple’s life for a day, and he’d love to become your best friend. Tag’s sleepover revealed: Tag is the perfect companion. Spending just one day with him we can tell this boy loves hard and is as loyal as can be! He was a gentleman during his stroll through the Old Mill District, He walked nicely on leash and ignored every dog he walked past, and greeted people with big tail wags. At home, he seemed to be house-trained and very respectful of boundaries. While preparing food in the kitchen, he laid quietly on the floor observing us and stayed out of the way. He did well sleeping in a crate. He LOVES attention from people and has been getting snuggles from us all day. When he wants more pets he’ll gently nudge your hand with his face or paw. When it’s time to relax he settles quickly and will lay on his dog bed. Overall he’s just the best boy! Tag lived alone in a home for nine months after his previous owner passed away. Someone stopped by to check on him and provided food and water. When a stable life could not be found for him, Tag was brought to HSCO to find the family and life he deserves. Tag’s adoption fee has been sponsored. Visit the Humane Society of Central Oregon in Bend and see if Tag is the one for you.
