Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Bend, Oregon

Meet Chickpea!

Hi, I'm a new arrival here at Street Dog Hero! I'm part of a litter of adorable young mixed breed puppies that came to us as local surrenders from right here in Central Oregon. We're still going through our required medical vetting, so we're not quite ready to go home and be adopted yet. But, don't wait to submit your adoption application online through our website if you'd like to learn more and get the chance to meet me when I'm cleared! Stay tuned for more updates.

Foster Update 4/24/26:

This little girl has the cutest lil face and most wonderful personality. She's very young, so it's understandable that she has some needy tendencies, so her future adopter will need to fully understand all the work that goes into raising a lil youngster from setting boundaries, lots of socialization, training and having lots of patience! She's already getting acquainted with the chickens, horses and our pack of 5 dogs. She sleeps often, loves exploring, snuggling, sunbathing, and romping around. With lots of patience, time and setting those boundaries early and establishing structure, consistency and routine, there's no doubt this lil munchkin will bring her future new family so much joy!

Will you be this girl's lucky hero?

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
