Bend artist wins Humane Society of Central Oregon’s Pup Crawl logo contest
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Humane Society of Central Oregon recently announced Clara Smith of Bend as the winner of their 2025 Pup Crawl logo competition.
Chosen from a dozen talented entrants, Smith's design captures the spirit of our beloved Pup Crawl with its bold, fun imagery. The logo submission was inspired by her playful dogs and their treat-loving antics.
As a Western artist and graphic designer, Smith saw this contest as "the perfect collaboration" to support the organization that brought joy into her life.
"Participating in this contest allowed me to give back to HSCO, where we adopted our Australian Cattle Dog, Colt, five years ago," Smith explained
Smith’s passion for animals is reflected in her family of two dogs, three cats (one a fellow HSCO alumni), and two horses. “My fiancé and I are forever grateful to HSCO for bringing such loving animals into our lives,” said Smith.
Her winning design will be prominently featured on Pup Crawl pint glasses, beanies, and in all event promotions.
The 13th annual Pup Crawl is a much-anticipated event that is a highlight of our community’s social calendar in March, and a vital fundraiser to help vulnerable animals in Central Oregon. Thanks to HSCO's sponsors, Bend Pet Express and Bend Studio, 100% of every Pup Crawl beanie and pint sold in a commemorative glass benefits local animals.
