BEND, Ore. –(KTVZ)– Puppies frolicked and played in the courtyard of the Whispering Winds retirement community today. The people at this assisted living center got a visit from puppies hosted by the local dog rescue group Street Dog Hero, but this visit was not just a fun day for the dogs, nor just a treat for the residents. Street Dog Hero was there to say thank you to a group of knitters from Whispering Winds who’ve been making and donating blankets for the dogs.
Sue Edgerton, a resident of Whispering Winds told KTVZ news “We love making them. We don’t know what they look like after the dogs drag them around for a while, but we love giving them and we have fun talking and getting together and knitting or crocheting.”
Street Dog Hero recently took in several new puppies from Madras and from Oklahoma. All the puppies who visited Whispering Winds are available for adoption.
