Founded in Bend in 2017, Street Dog Hero is a foster-based rescue with a global mission and a local heart. We save dogs in need, whether they are here at home in Central Oregon, in overcrowded U.S. shelters, or on the streets abroad, and give them the second chance they deserve through rescue, adoption, wellness, spay/neuter, and humane education.
By the end of 2025, Street Dog Hero will have rescued and rehomed more than 4,000 animals and provided over 12,000 low- or no-cost surgeries and wellness procedures. Each number represents a life changed and a step toward ending the cycle of suffering caused by animal overpopulation.
Your support fuels this lifesaving work both here at home and across borders. Together, we are creating stronger, more compassionate communities by helping people care for the animals they love and ensuring that every dog has a chance at a better life.
- $500 rescues a dog from an uncertain fate and covers transport, veterinary care, and placement.
- $150 spays or neuters two pets and provides vaccines and wellness exams for families in need.
- $75 supplies food, training, and enrichment as dogs transition from foster care to forever homes.
- $40 funds an international spay/neuter, helping prevent future suffering before it begins.
Every contribution creates a ripple of kindness that begins here in Central Oregon and extends around the world – saving lives, inspiring hope, and giving dogs everywhere a chance at a safe, loving home.
