Whitecap was found on 8/29/2026 on the 85000th block of Dillard Access Road in Eugene. He came into the shelter not yet neutered. If you believe this is your missing dog, please contact the shelter at (541) 689-1503. Since this dog is new to the shelter and we are still looking for their family, they are not viewable on the adoption floor at this time.The shelter staff is giving me some time to settle in and adjust to this new place. As we get to know each other a little better, the behavior team and veterinary staff will then be evaluating my needs. Please stay tuned for my updated information!Our shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable and for most dogs we are only guessing at their primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.This pet is located at Greenhill Humane Society. 88530 Greenhill Road, Eugene, OR 97402 (541) 689-1503.

Hi, I’m Beatrice! I’m an adorable 20-pound Maltese/Poodle mix with a gentle heart and a sweet personality that I’m slowly learning to share with the world. I can be pretty shy when I first meet new people, so I’m looking for a family who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time. I’ve already started coming out of my shell more and more, and it’s been so wonderful for everyone to see my personality begin to shine! I can be shy around other dogs too, but with patience, slow introductions, and time to adjust, I can become more comfortable. I would do well with kids ages 5 and up who can be gentle with me, respect my space, and allow me to build trust at my own pace. I haven’t been around cats yet, but if my future family has feline friends, I can be cat tested. With my gentle nature, I’d probably do just fine with cats, especially with a thoughtful introduction and a little time to get comfortable. One of my favorite things is going for walks! I love getting outside, taking my time, and making sure I get plenty of good sniffs in along the way. Once I feel safe and comfortable in a home, a whole other side of me comes out. I love to play chase, zoom around as fast as my little legs will carry me, and show off my playful side! And there is one very important requirement for my future family: multiple belly rubs every single day. This is non-negotiable! Once I decide you’re one of my people, I hope you’re prepared to keep those belly rubs coming. I may need a little extra patience in the beginning, but give me the time and space I need, and you’ll get to experience the joy of watching a shy little girl blossom into a playful, loving companion. My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet me today!

Pending adoption 🩷 We have a transport leaving September 26th 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Beau to our trip for the right family 😊 Beau 🩵 Beau was born August 28, 2025, and is a Maltese/Yorkie mix weighing 7.9 pounds full grown. He is at a wonderful, healthy weight for his little frame, and underneath that ridiculously cute face is one of the sweetest little hearts. Beau is shy when meeting someone he doesn’t know. That is simply part of who he is, and I actually think there is something incredibly special about watching the moment he realizes he is safe with you. He doesn’t immediately walk into a room assuming everyone is his best friend. He observes, takes things in, and looks for reassurance from the person he trusts. Once he realizes that your hands are kind and your heart is safe, that little wall starts coming down surprisingly quickly. And then you get to meet the real Beau. 🩵 He is funny, affectionate, incredibly loyal, and has so much personality packed into his tiny 7.9-pound body. He loves playing with other dogs and does wonderfully with dogs both big and small. He is also great with cats. But as much as Beau enjoys his animal friends, at his core he is absolutely a people’s dog. When Beau chooses his person, he loves them deeply. He wants to be near you. He wants to be included in whatever you’re doing. Your day doesn’t have to be exciting or elaborate for him to be happy. If you’re moving around the house, he’s content being part of it. If you’re settling down, he’s happy settling down with you. He has that wonderful ability to simply fit himself into the rhythm of the person he loves. He has been wonderful with our older children, and he recently met our newest little grandson. Beau was perfectly happy sitting alongside me with the baby, simply enjoying being included. Those quiet little moments tell you so much about his temperament. He’s also an incredibly quiet dog. Beau is not a barker. He is accustomed to the normal sounds and activity of everyday life, so it generally takes something unfamiliar to catch his attention. Occasionally he will alert us when something is new or different, but he isn’t a dog who feels the need to carry on about it. Once he knows everything is okay, he’s perfectly content letting his people handle the investigation while he goes back to being Beau. 😂 When I first met him, Beau ran straight to his mom. She was his safe place. He didn’t know me, and he had absolutely no reason yet to believe that I could become one too. So I sat with him. I didn’t expect him to immediately trust me or understand what was happening. I just showed him that while I wasn’t the mom he had grown up knowing and loving, I would love him and take care of him just as fiercely while he was with me. I believe he knows that now. Somewhere along the way, I became his person here🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 And that is probably why I understand so clearly what Beau is going to give the person who is willing to give him that same opportunity. His shyness may prevent someone from seeing everything extraordinary about him within the first five minutes of meeting him. But give him a little time to build a relationship with you, and there is an entirely different little dog waiting underneath. His previous family loved him, but circumstances in their lives changed. Beau’s dad suffered an injury that required back surgery, and his recovery was expected to be extensive. With everything that came along with that, he and his wife realized they could no longer give Beau the life, activity, and attention they wanted him to have. They made the difficult decision to ask us to take him in so he could have the opportunity for the happiness and companionship he deserves. Because of those circumstances, and the very hot weather we’ve had here, leash walking is still fairly new to Beau. His dad wasn’t physically able to take him out before he came to us, and we’ve been introducing leash time as weather permits. This is simply an area his new family will need to continue building on with him. He is young, eager to be with his person, and has every reason to continue doing beautifully as he gains experience. Inside the home, Beau already has wonderful habits. He is housetrained and thrives with consistency. Here, he is taken outside approximately every 2–3 hours and will go potty when asked. Keeping him on a predictable routine has worked beautifully for him. He is also crate trained. At bedtime, open his crate door and Beau will happily run right in. There’s no struggle or convincing needed; he understands his bedtime routine and settles nicely. If his forever family would rather have him sleep in a little bed beside theirs, or eventually curled up in their bed, I have a feeling Beau would adapt to that arrangement without too much objection. 😂 He travels wonderfully, too. Long or short road trips don’t bother him, which is such a wonderful quality for a family hoping for a little companion who can truly be part of their life. Even grooming is something Beau handles beautifully. He loves our groomer and enjoys a nice cool bath, especially when the deal includes plenty of lap time while he’s being brushed afterward. 🩵 His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_beau-1 It covers his neuter, microchip, current vaccines, thorough veterinary care and his light dental scaling and polish. Although Beau is still young, he did have some mild buildup that warranted a light cleaning. Dental needs aren’t determined by age alone. Genetics, breed and diet can all play a role, particularly in small breeds. His teeth were otherwise in great health and no extractions were needed. His dental was simply an opportunity to give him a beautifully clean, healthy start going into his forever home. There are dogs who show you everything they have to offer the instant you meet them. Beau isn’t that dog. He’s the little boy who may initially stand back and wonder whether he can trust you. He’s going to look toward the person he already knows is safe before deciding whether you might be safe too. But I have had the privilege of being on the other side of that uncertainty. I know the Beau who comes after it. I know the funny little boy with the huge personality. The affectionate companion. The dog who loves his people deeply, gets along beautifully with the animals around him, happily goes wherever life takes him, and really doesn’t ask for much beyond being included and loved. And now that I have become his person, I will have the honor of eventually bringing him to the person who gets to be his forever person. Someone who won’t measure their connection with him by the first few minutes they spend together, but who will give him the opportunity to realize once again: I’m safe here. I’m loved here. This is my person now. Give Beau that chance, and I truly don’t believe you’ll ever regret opening your home and your heart to him. 🩵

Meet Waffle, a two-year-old, 17-pound Maltipoo mix with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and some wonderfully quirky ways of showing it! This fluffy little guy is happiest when he has toys to play with, a yard to zoom around in, and furry friends by his side. But he is searching for a very specific kind of family! So keep reading to learn all the special quirks of Waffle! Watch Waffle's video to fast track getting to know him, then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/7ozqhizvRgQ Waffle LOVES toys and is especially obsessed with fetch. Give him a ball and some room to run, and you'll see just how fast and athletic this little guy can be! He loves chasing toys, running around the yard, digging, sniffing, and playing. He's not a couch potato — Waffle wants to have FUN! And Waffle is a total social butterfly when it comes to his furry friends. **He is DOG FRIENDLY and CAT FRIENDLY!** In fact, having another dog in his forever home is extremely important for Waffle. He is much happier and more confident with a canine buddy around, especially one close to his size and with a similar playful style. He loves having someone to romp around with and looks to his dog friends for confidence. Waffle also genuinely loves cats and has successfully lived with them. Dog-savvy cats who enjoy having a playful dog around could be a wonderful match for him. If you're looking for a little dog who can have both canine and feline siblings, Waffle is your guy! With his people, Waffle is an absolute sweetheart once he knows you. He loves attention, cuddles, following his favorite person around, and being included in the fun. He can be vocal and reactive when he's unsure, particularly around unfamiliar people and dogs on leash, so his family will need to understand his quirks and help him navigate situations that feel overwhelming. Because of this, Waffle needs an **experienced, patient owner** who isn't looking for a perfectly polished dog and will happily accept him for all his little Waffle-isms. He needs someone who will give him structure, clear boundaries, continued leash training, and plenty of time to settle into his new world. Waffle would do best with **older, respectful kids around 10+** and a relatively calm home without lots of unfamiliar visitors coming and going. He needs a securely fenced physical yard and is **not suited for an apartment or condo** because of his vocal nature and need for outdoor space. Waffle may have a few quirks, but that's part of what makes him Waffle! He's playful, affectionate, incredibly entertaining, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and full of potential. Give this little guy his toys, his fetch ball, his dog buddy, a secure yard, and a person who understands him — and Waffle will give you his whole heart right back. For any serious adopters we would love to chat with you to see if Waffle may be your perfect match!

Meet Chino! Chino is a 5-year-old Maltese looking for a calm, patient home where he can be someone’s one and only. This little guy is learning what it means to be loved and cherished — and while he may be shy at first, once you earn his trust, he’ll give you his whole heart. Watch his video here and come back to read more about him! https://youtu.be/7dnuzhZ3kR4 Chino is still getting used to affection, so he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. He would thrive with a single person or older adult who has prior dog experience and can offer consistency, quiet, and love. Once he feels safe, he’ll be your faithful lap dog — content just being near you. He walks well on a leash, is treat-motivated (especially when cheese is involved!), and is working hard to be on his best behavior to earn your affection. Chino lives in a home with small dogs like him and BIG dogs too. He is a not playful with any of his foster dog brothers. He prefers to lay in bed with his person and lap up all the affection and love. When his foster dad comes home he runs up to his leg and paws for attention. If you have a soft heart, a patient spirit, and an open lap, Chino may just be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for.

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!
