About Us
A little about us at HDRCO
Our Story
Herding Dog Rescue of Central Oregon (HDRescue) was founded in May of 2023. Our mission is to help herding dogs who are abandoned, neglected and abused or simply in the wrong home into a loving appropriate home.
We rely on foster homes, donations and volunteers.
Every dog/puppy will be up to date on their vaccines, microchipped and if older than 6 months spayed/neutered.
Any known health concerns will be addressed.
Our adoption process focuses on the dog being our priority.
Thank you for considering rescue!

I spent the first 14 years of my life in Tillamook Or. growing up with any animal I was allowed to have.
I'm a firm believer of anti-breeding, rescue is in my blood. The first dog I rescued and gave a forever home to was found near a dumpster in Anchorage, Alaska. (where I lived the 2nd part of my life) It was 20* below zero that day.
As time went on, I started my first dog pack, all rescues. Some came from a shelter and others from people who didn't want them anymore. I have 6 dogs of my own and sometimes up to 14 depending on how many fosters I have. I started fostering when I moved back to Oregon (the 3rd part of my life). Life is good here! I have 5.4 acres, it's a place for all kinds of animals. I've fostered for many rescues over the last 10 years. I work for a very popular veterinary clinic called Bend Veterinary Clinic and have been there for almost 10 years.

An Oregon native whose love for animals stems from her early childhood. She began riding horses at the age of 3 and hasn’t looked back. Her passion for helping animals in need grew as a young adult when she started fostering for a Oregon based non- profit. She has fostered and helped rehome countless dogs and puppies. She currently has 3 dogs of her own that have been adopted from rescues in Oregon and one from Mexico.
