Volunteer opportunities in Central Oregon

Street Dog Hero

About Street Dog Hero

Bend-based, foster home–based dog rescue that brings street dogs from around the world and from overcrowded shelters to adoptive families across the Pacific Northwest. It also supports spay/neuter and wellness work abroad and hosts monthly free dog food banks in Bend and La Pine.

Volunteering looks like

Much of the volunteering happens at home: fostering rescue dogs until they're adopted, with supplies and expenses covered. Volunteers also escort rescue dogs home on flights from abroad, help with local transport, vet trips and airport pickups, fundraise, and spread the word. Youth ages 9–16 can join the Jr. Heroes program, with a youth council, fundraising events, and parades.
