Herding Dog Rescue of Central Oregon

06/29/2025

Transport Sunday…. This little guy was not being very well taken care of so we traveled to Madras to pick him up and then dropped him off in Redmond with a great foster that allowed me to take this little buddy in. I can’t do it alone peeps. What a good day.

Meet Berry — a 1-year-old Border Collie with energy to spare, smarts for days, and the heart of a Very Good Boy™. Whether he’s on leash, off leash, or doing zoomies across your campsite, Berry is pure joy on four paws.

This adventurous pup is kennel trained and lives for the great outdoors. Hiking? He’s your trail guide. Camping? He’ll toast (or steal) your marshmallows. Trail running? Say no more — Berry’s already laced up (metaphorically, of course).

Dog parks? He’s a social butterfly. Other dogs? Big fan. Cats? Well… let’s just say Berry is working on respecting their mysterious feline ways. A calm kitty and a little training might make for peaceful coexistence — but no promises on chasing temptations!

True to his herding dog roots, Berry’s got some strong instincts, so he’ll thrive with someone who appreciates his natural talents (and doesn’t mind being gently herded toward the snack cabinet).

If you’re seeking a loyal, energetic sidekick to share your outdoor escapades — and your snacks — Berry is ready to be your best buddy.

Looking for your next best friend? Bonnie just might be the one. Reach out to meet her!

Zippy and Zelda:
Meet Zippy! This goody, fun-filled Heeler mix is about 7 months old and weighs around 45 lbs. Zippy is bursting with energy and love — always ready for playtime, adventures, or cuddles. He’s fantastic with other dogs and adores people of all ages. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a dog park regular, or just a happy face to greet you at the door, Zippy is your guy!
And then there is beautiful Zelda.
She is a 4-month-old Pyredoodle (Wisdom Panel tested!) Fostered in Oregon- Genetically clear of all health risks

Zelda is a gentle, soulful pup with the sweetest heart. At just 4 months old, she’s already endured more than most dogs should, abandoned at a shelter in San Diego with her brother and unsure of who to trust.

When she first arrived, Zelda was scared of people and shut down. But in foster care, with patience and love, she’s been slowly learning that the world can be kind. The first time she leaned in for a belly rub, she was unsure, then went completely still with the wonder of the moment. It was clear no one had ever shown her that kind of tenderness. That simple moment nearly brought us to tears, and it’s still the fastest way to her heart. For a belly rub, she will do just about anything you ask of her ??.

Zelda is great with children, affectionate with her people, and learning fast. She’s doing wonderfully with recall in a securely fenced 5-acre space, and she’s growing more confident by the day. Highly treat motivated, she will be super easy to train.

She’s sensitive, she shuts down if scolded. Or if rushed on leash. But when met with gentle encouragement and quiet excitement, she shines. Leash walking is still new to her, but with kindness and time, she’s making steady progress every day.

Zelda is looking for a home where love is patient, voices are soft or excited for her, and belly rubs are plentiful. She’s not quite ready for off-leash outings outside of secure areas, but her potential is limitless with time! She will be a loyal companion for any family and would be a wonderful addition to anybody with kids!

Buttercup has a report in from her foster and for some lucky pack, is available for adoption!  This sweet girl has been waiting patiently for her perfect family. Butters is around 4 years old and a mix of something - pyrenees/border collie or maybe even a Landseer Newfoundland?  We cannot afford DNA testing - just guesses...  what we do know is that she is super affectionate,  loves people and other dogs.  

She traveled with us to Idaho for a wedding. Great in the vehicle, a big hit with young and old alike at the reception.  Slept like a log in the travel trailer with her foster dogs & myself.  

Buttercup walks great on leash. And is even better off-leash.  She has really taken to the Central Oregon mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes.  Butters has lost some sedentary weight and gained some muscle in the short time here in foster care.  

Buttercup is spayed, microchipped,  up-to-date on all her preventive care and ready for her forever home.  No cats, please.  See her at www.hdrescueoregon.com  Adoption fee is $400

Porter is a fantastic pup, waiting for his people! Porter is a 14 month old red heeler mix. He is smart, playful and very affectionate with his people.

His previous guardians found Porter as a stray this winter but sadly could not keep him because they both travel a lot for work. Wrestling, chasing and being chased by other dogs is one of his favorite activities along with off-leash sniff-a-thons, mountain biking wingman-ing, chasing waves and curling up on the sofa for a nap with his people.

He learns very quickly (especially with treats) and has made excellent progress learning about civilization since he first came to us. His recall is great (unless there is a squirrel involved) and he is a champ in the car. He is house broken and sleeps through the night in his crate. He knows basic commands - sit, stay, shake, roll over, load up, come and is learning drop it, leave it, spin and lay down. He is good on a leash.

New people still make him a little nervous, and he will bark at people that come to the house. He would rather be adventuring with you 24/7 but can be left alone at home for several hours with no issues. He struggles to leave his scavenging ways behind when outside but does not counter surf and will just lay down during human meal times. Routines and clear boundaries help him feel at ease. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are important for him.

We love Porter and know he will be such a sweet, devoted pup for somebody.

All right village. It’s another plea for help. I cannot do this all by myself. I need fosters really bad. Is there anyone that can step up to help these kids?
