Mendo Pupdates

June 2025 Pupdate for Mendo

Posted 6/19/2025

What shines brighter? The summer rays of the sun, or Mendo's spirit and golden curls? We're pretty sure it must be Mendo. This month, he's been cruising all around Portland, refining his skills and learning more and more about how to be a guide dog. We love to watch this guy cool off after a long, hot day of work by dunking in the pools during community run. Mendo-Bendo is totally a fan favorite and when he's flaunting his feathery tail, he's sure to catch some googly eyes from on-lookers.

Mendo, a male long-haired yellow lab/ golden cross, stands with his front two feet in a blue plastic kid's pool in one of our community run areas. Most of his long fur is soaked after splashing in the pool. He wears a relaxed, open-mouthed expression and looks at the camera.
Mendo, a male long-haired yellow lab/golden cross, sits on a sidewalk in his GDB harness. He looks up at the camera with his face splattered by shadows from off-camera leaves. Behind him is, a stone planter box is filled with red, orange, and yellow flowers, and a painted mural is out of focus in the background.
