Before the flying discs, travel, and cheering crowds, Zilo was just another dog waiting at the Humane Society of Central Oregon.

He came to HSCO in 2018 due to life changes within his family. Zilo was healthy, affectionate, and full of energy. With time and thoughtful placement, the right match found him.

Today, Zilo is thriving with JD Platt as part of K9 Kings Flying Dog Show: a traveling, high-energy dog show where he catches flying discs and performs in front of crowds across the country.

Zilo’s journey helped inspire Leapin’ Dog Lager, created by JD in partnership with Deschutes Brewery to give back to shelter animals.

Join us for the Leapin’ Dog Lager launch party
Monday, December 15, from 4–7 pm
Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House

For as long as the beer is on tap, $1 from every pint supports HSCO.

Come raise a glass to Zilo and to the many animals still waiting for their next chapter.

Happy International Day of Veterinary Medicine! 🩺 To celebrate we visited Dr. Crystal Bloodworth, Shelter Clinic Director, to get an overview on what their team does every day to ensure the wellbeing of foster and shelter animals at HSCO.

"We just want to make sure that we provide the care for the animals while they're here and also improve their ability to find a home" Dr. Crystal Bloodworth

We are incredibly thankful for the compassion and skill our veterinary staff brings 🩵

Every home a shelter alum finds is special - and Oreo’s new family might look familiar. He was adopted this past fall by Bend’s mayor, Melanie Kebler!
“Oreo is loving his new home and family, and he is the sweetest, snuggliest kitten.”

We love hearing updates of pets settling in and bonding with their families. 🧡
