Free Dog Hanukkah Photo at Mountain Dogs Pet Resort in Bend!
Mountain Dogs Pet Resort is bringing a little Hanukkah fun to Southeast Bend.
Dave Liedman just opened Mountain Dogs Pet Resort in1044 Southeast Paiute Way, Bend. He is offering free photos for families with their dog(s) with a Hanukkah backdrop. People just need to register with the link below for one of the following dates:
December 6, 2025 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM
December 7, 2025 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM
December 13, 2025 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM
REGISTRATION LINK: bit.ly/
To keep the experience smooth and low-stress, each family will have about 5 minutes within their chosen 30-minute session block. Because this is a shared community event, we ask that only social dogs attend so everyone can have an enjoyable experience. Your photo will be provided as a digital file, ready to turn into a custom Hanukkah card, a digital greeting, a social media post, or a framed memory. Mountain Dogs is all about building connection—with our dogs, with our community, and with the season.

Please register so that we know you are planning to attend! The event is FREE, of course, but it helps us to plan for numbers and there are opportunities to bring items as well! https://bethtikvahbend.

Just wanted to share my thanks and gratitude for the music and shared visioning for the future with some truly lovely and talented individuals!
I hope you’ll join us next month for our first Third Tuesday Gathering!
We have some great plans through June– and there’s room for so much more!
