UPCOMING ADOPTION EVENTS

FRIDAY 7/27
BARK IN THE PARK
DOG DAYS

Beer, baseball and your best dog pal—what’s more American than that? The Bend Elks invite you and your dog to sit in the bleacher seats for one night only, with proceeds benefiting the Humane Society of Central Oregon. Don’t have a furry friend to bring along to the ball game? HSCO will be there showcasing animals currently up for adoption. 6:35pm. Vince Genna Stadium, 401 SE Roosevelt Ave., Bend. $7/GA.

WEDNESDAY 8/1
DOGUST THE 1ST
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RESCUES

Join Brightside Animal Center and their shelter animals for cake and festivities celebrating the birthdays of all the shelter and rescue dogs! Don’t forget to bring a gift—the furry tenants put together a wish list including canned cat and dog food, beds, kitten milk replacer and cat litter, to name a few. Who knows—you may even find your forever friend! Noon-3pm. Brightside Animal Center, 1355 NE Hemlock Ave., Redmond.

SATURDAY 8/4
ADOPT A FRIEND
THRIFT STORE FINDS

Stop by the Humane Society of the Ochocos Thrift Store to meet new friends up for adoption! Leave feeling good that your thrift store purchases benefit the animals at the shelter—and perhaps with a new family member in tow! 11am-3pm. Humane Society of the Ochocos Thrift Store, 1495 NW Murphy Ct., Prineville.

SUNDAY 8/12
CAT YOGA
NaMEOWste

You’ve heard of goat and dog yoga—now Brightside Animal Center is bringing cat yoga to their shelter! The cats at Brightside are ready to meet friendly yogis willing to spread some love—and possibly find them their forever home. For a small donation, you can hang with the shelter cats and practice yoga led by an experienced instructor. You may have to work around a cute ball of fur sprawled out over your mat—but it’s all about the cuddles, anyway. 1pm. Brightside Animal Center, 1355 NE Hemlock Ave., Redmond. $10/suggested donation.
