Shih Poo puppies and dogs in Eugene, Oregon

We have a transport leaving on the weekend of August 28th 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 Biscuit to our trip for the right family 😊 There is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a shy dog. It isn’t given freely or rushed, it is built one gentle moment at a time. And once you’ve earned it, you’ve gained a friend whose love runs deeper than words could ever describe. That is Biscuit. Beneath his cautious first impression is one of the sweetest, happiest little souls you could ever hope to meet, simply waiting for someone to show him that the world is a safe and wonderful place. Biscuit is a handsome Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier mix born on January 8, 2026. He currently weighs right around 10 pounds and is expected to mature between 12 and 14 pounds, making him the perfect little companion for just about any lifestyle. When you first meet Biscuit, he may be a little reserved. New people and unfamiliar situations can make him uncertain, and he’ll look to you for reassurance while he figures things out. What he needs isn’t someone to change who he is, but someone who understands that confidence grows through patience, consistency, and love. Every day we’ve watched him become just a little braver than the day before, and it has been one of the greatest joys to witness. We know his future family will experience that same beautiful transformation as he settles into a home where he feels safe. Once Biscuit knows he belongs, his personality begins to shine. His little tail is constantly wagging whenever he’s happy or excited to be part of your day, and seeing that tiny tail going is enough to make anyone smile. He has such a gentle, joyful spirit and truly enjoys simply being included in whatever you’re doing. While he loves affection and spending time with his people, he also has a wonderfully mellow side. If you’re working around the house, reading a book, or relaxing after a long day, he’ll happily curl up nearby, content just knowing he’s close to the people he loves. He also has a playful side that comes alive outdoors. Watching Biscuit run through the yard with another kind, playful dog is enough to remind you what pure happiness looks like. He enjoys having canine friends, but he certainly doesn’t require another dog in his forever home. As long as he has a person who will spend time with him, encourage him, and include him in daily life, he will be perfectly content. His greatest desire isn’t another dog, it’s a family who will become his safe place. Biscuit came into our care because a young woman who loved him deeply was preparing to leave for college. Knowing she could no longer give him the consistency and commitment he deserved, and with her parents’ work schedules making it impossible for them to take over his care, she made the incredibly selfless decision to ask us to find him a family who could give him everything she knew he deserved. It was a decision made entirely out of love, and we promised her we would find the home where Biscuit could truly flourish. He has wonderful manners in the home and thrives when he has a predictable routine. Biscuit is house trained and does an excellent job going outside every couple of hours. Like many dogs, he finds comfort in consistency, and maintaining a regular schedule will help him continue to succeed. He is crate trained and currently sleeps peacefully in his crate each night, although we have no doubt he would happily transition to sleeping in a dog bed beside yours or even snuggled up in bed if that’s what his future family prefers. He is also a perfect gentleman during grooming appointments and genuinely enjoys being pampered. Grooming days have become little spa days for him, and he handles them beautifully. One of our favorite things about Biscuit is his adorable classic Shih Tzu underbite. It peeks through in many of his photos and gives him so much personality. It’s one of those charming breed characteristics that Shih Tzu lovers know and adore, and in Biscuit’s case, it somehow makes him even more endearing. The one area we haven’t had the opportunity to work extensively on is leash training. Because we’ve focused on building his confidence first, formal leash work is still ahead of him. Thankfully, Biscuit is an incredibly smart little boy, eager to learn, and we have every confidence that with patient guidance and positive encouragement, he’ll quickly master walking on a leash just as he has everything else. Biscuit isn’t a barker, which many families appreciate. He enjoys a peaceful home and generally stays quiet, though he’ll let you know if he hears something truly unfamiliar. As he has settled into rescue life, even those alerts have become less frequent because he’s learned that not every new sound is something to worry about. Because Biscuit is still growing, our veterinarian has recommended waiting until he reaches approximately 10 to 12 months of age before being neutered, allowing him the opportunity to fully mature. For that reason, he will be adopted on a neuter contract. He is current on all of his one-year vaccinations, has been microchipped, and has been thoroughly examined by our veterinarian. As part of his routine care, we submitted a fecal sample to the laboratory, and based on those results, he completed two rounds of deworming to ensure he is healthy and ready for his forever home. He will also go home with an official health certificate from our veterinarian. Biscuit is looking for someone who understands that some of the most rewarding relationships take a little time to blossom. The family who chooses him won’t simply be adopting a dog, they’ll have the privilege of watching a timid little boy slowly discover just how wonderful life can be. They’ll witness the first moments of newfound confidence, the excited tail wags, the happy zoomies across the yard, and the quiet evenings spent beside the people he trusts with his whole heart. Those moments are priceless, and Biscuit is more than worth the wait. His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/biscuit-1 It helps cover his current veterinary care, one-year vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, laboratory fecal testing and deworming, as well as the months of care, training, grooming, socialization, and love he has received while in our care.

We would love to add Dahlia to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet our beautiful Dahlia 🤍 Dahlia is a gorgeous Standard Poodle with the most beautiful coloring, depending on who you ask, you may hear her described as white Merle or Parti colored. Whatever technical name you want to give her coat, there is no denying that this girl is absolutely beautiful. She is also a larger Standard Poodle, weighing in at 60 lbs 💕 Dahlia came to us after her owner was preparing to move out of state and was unable to take her along. Sometimes life changes leave wonderful dogs needing an entirely new chapter through absolutely no fault of their own, and Dahlia has made it very clear since arriving that she is more than ready to settle right back into being someone’s beloved girl. And when I say settle in, I mean Dahlia wasted very little time figuring out how things work around here 😂 She discovered our bed all on her own and has since been caught peacefully napping there, completely stretched out and comfortable as if she had been sleeping there her entire life. Apparently, Dahlia believes that if a bed is available, it should not go to waste! She is crate trained and can absolutely use a crate when needed, but she is so wonderful in the home that she doesn’t need to spend her life in one. Give her a comfortable place to lay, let her be part of the family, and she is perfectly happy. She is fully housetrained and does wonderfully going outside throughout the day. Her house manners have been wonderful, especially considering her size. She knows how to settle, relax, and simply coexist with everyone around her without needing constant entertainment or direction. Dahlia is also good on leash and enjoys getting out and about. She is a big girl, so naturally there is a lot more dog at the end of the leash than there would be with one of our tiny ones, but she listens well and has been wonderful to handle. She is GREAT in the car and travels beautifully, which is something we always appreciate with our dogs. Whether her future consists of trips around town, visits with family, vacations, or simply tagging along for everyday errands, Dahlia is more than happy to hop in and go along for the ride. She is also wonderful at the groomers, another pretty important quality when you are talking about a Standard Poodle! She handles the grooming process beautifully and has been an absolute pleasure for them. Her future family will need to be committed to maintaining her coat with regular professional grooming, but thankfully Dahlia makes that part pretty easy. One of the things we love most about her is how naturally social she is. Dahlia is great with everyone she meets. She isn’t a girl who wants to hide away from the world or needs convincing that new people can be friends. She has a wonderful temperament and genuinely enjoys people, affection, and being included in whatever is happening around her. She has that combination that can be so hard to find in a larger dog, she is substantial enough to feel like a true big companion, yet she knows how to live comfortably inside a home. She can go for a ride, walk nicely on leash, behave for her groomer, meet new people happily, and then come home and promptly locate the most comfortable sleeping spot available. 😂🤍 Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/dahlia-1 Her adoption fee helps cover the veterinary care and everything that goes into preparing her for adoption which includes her spay, dental cleaning and polish, yearly vaccines, microchip & registration, and her exam with our vet which went perfect 💕 Dahlia isn’t looking for anything complicated. She needs someone who wants a beautiful, loyal Standard Poodle sharing their home, their adventures, their everyday life, and, judging by what we have learned about her so far, quite possibly their bed too. 😂🤍 She lost the home she knew because life changed around her. Now we get the privilege of finding the home that won’t just be her next stop, but the place where she gets to unpack her heart, get comfortable, and know that she is finally home for good. 🤍

We would love to add Daisy to our trip for the right family 😊 🎄 Meet Daisy — Our Little Christmas Joy 🎄 There are some dogs whose happiness you can describe, and then there are dogs you simply have to meet to understand. Daisy is the second kind. 😂🩷 Born on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, we can’t help but think that special birthday explains a little something about her. Daisy seems to genuinely believe she was placed on this earth for one purpose: to love absolutely everyone she meets and enjoy every single second of her life while doing it. And she takes that job VERY seriously. 😂 Daisy is an almost 8-month-old purebred Shih Tzu weighing just over 9 lbs, and she is quite literally JOY in the size of a Shih Tzu. She loves women. She loves men. She loves children. She loves dogs. She loves cats. She loves going places. She loves being home. She loves attention. She loves life. Basically, if you’re breathing, Daisy has probably already decided you’re wonderful. 😂🩷 Her happiness is contagious. She walks into a room with this naturally cheerful little presence that makes it nearly impossible not to smile at her. There isn’t a complicated side to Daisy that you’re going to spend months trying to figure out. She lives life without a care in the world and seems completely convinced that every new person, animal, place, and experience has arrived solely for her enjoyment. She is affectionate without being anxious, social without being overwhelming, playful while still being perfectly happy to settle down with her people, and she has shown us no separation anxiety while in our care. She simply adjusts to whatever the day brings and continues being Daisy. And then there is the snorting. 😂 If you know and love Shih Tzus, you already know exactly what we’re talking about. That adorable little smooshed face occasionally comes with the classic Shih Tzu snorts and noises, and somehow they fit her personality perfectly. She already has enough character for three dogs, so naturally she needed her own soundtrack too. 😂 Daisy came to us because her previous owner found herself in a financial situation where she simply couldn’t continue providing Daisy with the care she deserved. Even keeping up with necessities such as regular grooming had become difficult. Daisy was loved, and ultimately that love is what led her owner to make the difficult decision to ask us for help. She knew her circumstances weren’t allowing Daisy to feel and live her best, and she wanted more for her than what she was presently able to provide. So she entrusted Daisy to us and asked us to find the family who could give this beautiful girl the life she deserves. And here we are. 🩷 For such a young girl, Daisy already has a wonderful foundation. She is house trained with a consistent routine and goes outside when asked every couple of hours throughout the day. She is crate trained and has done wonderfully with it, although we’re fairly certain she wouldn’t object if her future family decided that sleeping somewhere closer to them sounded better. 😂 She also walks wonderfully on leash, travels beautifully in the car, and is fantastic for the groomer, which is especially important for a Shih Tzu whose beautiful coat will require lifelong maintenance. Daisy has been wonderful with dogs of all sizes, cats, children, men, and women. There truly hasn’t been a category of living creature she has decided not to be friends with yet. 😂 Medically, Daisy has been thoroughly evaluated by our veterinarian. She is current on her vaccines, microchipped, and will go home with her medical records and a health certificate from our veterinarian. We also submitted a fecal sample to the laboratory, and she will be dewormed according to those results if treatment is indicated. Daisy is not yet spayed and will be adopted on a spay contract. Because she is still growing and maturing, our veterinarian would like her to reach approximately 12 months of age before being spayed so her body, joints, and growth plates are given additional time to fully mature. During her examination, our veterinarian also noted mild movement in Daisy’s knees/patellas. This is something that can be seen in small breeds such as Shih Tzus, and at this time our veterinarian is not concerned or recommending intervention. It is simply something we believe her future family should know about and continue monitoring with their veterinarian throughout her life. It is also another reason we feel allowing Daisy’s body to finish maturing before spaying is especially important. Our hope is that giving her joints and supporting structures every opportunity to mature naturally will help keep those knees from ever becoming problematic. We believe in being completely transparent with our adopters, even when something isn’t presently causing an issue, because whoever adopts Daisy deserves to know everything we know about the little girl they’re promising forever to. 🩷 Daisy’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/daisy-7 Her adoption fee helps cover the veterinary care and preparation that goes into sending her home ready for her next chapter, including her comprehensive veterinary examination, vaccines, microchip, laboratory fecal testing and any indicated deworming, health certificate, grooming, daily care, training, socialization, and everything that has gone into caring for her while she has been with us. But while all of those things tell you what has been done for Daisy, they don’t really tell you who Daisy is. Daisy is happiness. She is the little snorting Shih Tzu who wakes up expecting today to be wonderful simply because she gets another day to love somebody. She doesn’t seem interested in worrying about yesterday or wondering what tomorrow might bring. She’s too busy enjoying right now. 😂🩷 We genuinely believe the family who adopts Daisy isn’t simply getting a wonderful little dog. They’re bringing home the kind of personality that changes the energy of a house. The kind that makes you laugh when you weren’t planning to. The kind that greets people as though they’ve been friends forever. The kind that makes ordinary days a little happier just by being there. She was born on Christmas Day, and maybe we’re a little sentimental, but there really couldn’t have been a more fitting birthday for her. Because Daisy truly does feel like one very happy little gift. 🎄🩷🐾 And whoever gets to call her theirs will never go wrong with this girl.
