This month, Street Dog Hero has made some incredible changes at their Bend based facility, dubbed ‘the Heroes Haven.’ With the hiring of three new part-time Animal Care Technicians, as well as repainting the entire facility and installing new, large kennels for the dogs in their care. The organization seeks to raise $40,000 to fund these new changes, which aim to improve the quality of care of the animals on site at their facility.
The new facility updates are a key part of the organization’s strategic vision and it will allow SDH to greatly expand its services and opportunities for collaboration here in Central Oregon. With a surgical suite, kennels, office space, and storage, the new facility also offers SDH a place to share in-person offices, host events, and train and onboard fosters and volunteers, as well as a place for the rescue dogs to land and launch from. Funds raised through the Heroes Haven Capital Campaign will cover the cost of Animal Care Technicians time dedicated to providing the dogs onsite with everything they need as well as cover the cost of new large dog housing units so the dog has plenty of space during their time with us. To donate towards our Capital Campaign to cover the costs of upgrading the facility equipment as well as hiring Animal Care Technicians onsite, please visit our website: give.streetdoghero.org/give/491707/#!/donation/checkout.

Making such a large impact in the lives of owned and street dogs and cats, and the families that surround them, would not be possible without SDH’s supporters, community, and dog lovers around the world. The organizational values inspire the interactions it has with all the four- and two-legged friends it encounters. SDH is committed to bettering the communities, people, and animals it serves.
