Holiday Barket Highlights, in Partnership with Street Dog Hero!

During our 12 Days of Caring initiatives and events, Santa brought our community Street Dog Hero puppies! Kendall Central Oregon was honored to host Street Dog Hero’s 2nd annual Holiday Barket, where our community had the opportunity to shop with local vendors, enjoy snacks & beverages, take photos with Santa, and find the perfect dog for their family. Guests were welcomed with some seasonal pet gear while they played with puppies, picked up their Pet Portrait, or shopped for gifts for their loved ones from local artists. Street Dog Hero brought many adoptable dogs and puppies, in addition to families who brought pups that are currently being fostered. They were all the most loving dogs, from puppies that were rescued in Mexico to adults all the way from Oklahoma. We are so proud that several dogs went on home trials from the event, including Cooper, Hinny, and Opalite!

Guests had so much fun interacting with our local vendors, from getting treats & accessories with Murwins & Bluedog Pet Designs, to enjoying baked goods from Sweet Yeli’s. There were so many snacks to enjoy from Street Dog Hero volunteers and amazing Pet Portraits crafted by local artists. Thank you to our friends at Street Dog Hero for partnering with us and curating such a memorable & impactful Holiday experience! We will not forget about the amount of smiles we saw today, from both dogs & kids, at the 2025 Holiday Barket!
