Shih Poo puppies and dogs in Eugene, Oregon

Nyx is the last one available for adoption 💗 We have a transport leaving in May 23rd 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 our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Koro, Nyx & Zita 🩵 Born 11/21/2025 These three little ones came into our lives in a way that wasn’t planned, but ended up exactly where they were meant to be. Koro, Nyx, and Zita are part of the second litter that joined our home after an unexpected situation for their previous family. They had two female Shih Tzus, both of which were already scheduled to be spayed. But before those appointments could take place, both girls went into heat, and their male slipped in and did what boys do… resulting in two surprise litters just days apart. Their family loved them deeply and did such a beautiful job caring for them during those early weeks. These babies were never without love, attention, or care. But they also knew that raising and placing six puppies responsibly is a lot, and they wanted to make sure each one had the best possible future. That’s when they reached out to us to step in and continue their journey. From the moment they arrived, they became part of our home, our routine, and our everyday life. They have not been raised in a kennel setting. They have been underfoot, in our arms, learning structure, routine, and how to be little companions from the very beginning. That allows us to truly know them, not just care for them. We were told at the time of surrender that their mama is an Imperial Shih Tzu and their dad is a traditional Shih Tzu. As they’ve been growing and their features are starting to come in more, I do think there’s a possibility they could have a mix somewhere in there. I could be completely wrong, but I always like to share what I’m seeing as they mature just to be fully transparent. Either way, they are absolutely precious and going to make incredible little companions. They are expected to stay on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they more than make up for in personality. Each one of them is so different in the most special way. Koro is my little gentle soul. He has such a soft, loving way about him and really leans into his people. He enjoys playing, but what he truly loves is being close… whether that’s sitting in your lap, being held, or just laying beside you quietly. He has a calming presence to him that makes you just want to hold him a little longer. Nyx is such a beautiful balance of everything. She’s curious, playful, and confident, but still has that sweet, snuggly side that makes her so easy to fall in love with. She enjoys exploring, playing with toys, and interacting with everyone around her, but when she’s ready to settle, she melts right into you. Zita has really started to show a different side of herself as she’s been maturing. While she still has that little spark, she has such a calm, gentle spirit to her. She is the kind of girl who will lay there quietly just watching the world around her, taking everything in so she doesn’t miss a thing. She has a very soft presence and such a quiet sweetness about her that just pulls you in 💕 All three of them are extremely social and have been raised in constant interaction, so they are very comfortable being handled, loved on, and included in everyday life. They love playing together, but they also do just fine entertaining themselves with toys and settling independently when needed. They are already learning structure and routine and are doing really well with it. They currently know “stay” and are working on “sit,” especially when treats are involved. They are smart, eager, and very capable of continuing to learn with the right guidance. They have really come a long way with their pad training as well. They are no longer playing with them, ripping them up, or dragging them into their beds like they once thought was so fun. They’ve truly learned the difference now and are using them appropriately, which is such a big step for little ones their age. All of the puppies are sleeping in a crate at night and are doing beautifully with it. They settle in easily and sleep peacefully through the night without any issues. They travel beautifully and enjoy going along for rides, which makes them such easy little companions for everyday life. Leash training will begin in their adoptive homes, as we chose to wait until their vaccines were completed before introducing them to shared outdoor spaces. All of their veterinary care has been completed through our vet. They have received four rounds of DA2PP vaccinations, their first Bordetella vaccine, their one year rabies vaccine, have been microchipped, and have been thoroughly examined and cleared. They will go home with individual health certificates confirming healthy exams. A fecal test was completed and came back showing one type of parasite, which they are currently being treated for through our vet so they go home cleared and healthy. Because of their age, they will go home on a spay and neuter contract. We prefer allowing puppies the time to grow and fully develop before undergoing those procedures, as it can support healthier growth overall. Their adopters will agree to have them altered at an appropriate age recommended by their veterinarian. A portion of their adoption fees has also gone toward ensuring both parents have now been spayed and neutered, so their previous family will never experience another accidental litter again. Their adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/koro-nyx-zita This includes all of their veterinary care, including their deworming through our vet, their vaccines, microchips and registration, health certificates, as well as the weeks of hands on care, training, grooming, socialization, and love they have received while being raised in our home. As with all of our dogs, their adoption fees also help us continue rescuing and caring for the next ones who need us. These are not just tiny puppies… they are little souls who have been loved, nurtured, and prepared for the next chapter of their lives. They will thrive in homes where they can be part of your everyday life… following you from room to room, curling up beside you, riding along with you, and simply being with you. We are not looking for just any home for them. We are waiting for the right ones. If one of these little ones feels like they might be yours, we would love to hear from you ❤️

We would love to add Chloe to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet Chloe 💙 Chloe is a Shih Poo (Shih Tzu × Poodle mix) who was born on 10/25/24. At just 9.5 lbs fully grown, she is the perfect little companion size, small enough to curl perfectly into your lap, tuck beside you in bed, or quietly follow you from room to room as though she’s always belonged there. Some dogs are independent. Some are adventurous. Some are perfectly content entertaining themselves for hours at a time. And then there’s Chloe. Chloe is the kind of little dog who builds her world around you. She doesn’t just want a home, she wants a person. A best friend. A shadow. A quiet companion to follow from room to room while she watches your every move with those soft little eyes that somehow say, “There you are… exactly where I wanted you to be.” She is happiest curled beside her human, tucked at the end of the bed by your feet, resting peacefully while simply being near you. If you’re looking for the kind of dog that loves everyone equally and spends most of their day off doing their own thing, Chloe probably isn’t that girl. But if you’ve been searching for a deeply devoted little companion who wants to share life with you in the smallest, sweetest ways… Chloe may be everything you’ve been missing. She would thrive most in a home with someone retired, home often, or someone who works remotely and genuinely enjoys having a constant little sidekick nearby. Chloe doesn’t ask for much in life. She doesn’t need endless adventures or busy outings. Truthfully, her favorite place in the world is simply wherever you are. She absolutely adores being in bed with her person and has decided this is a non-negotiable part of life 😅 She sleeps respectfully at the foot of the bed all night long, perfectly content just being close. Of course, if invited up for cuddles, she happily accepts the opportunity. Total lap dog. Total snuggle bug. Total emotional support princess. Chloe is crate trained and does fine when needed, though she may protest for a minute or two first in hopes you’ll reconsider your decision 😂 But once she understands there’s no negotiating to be done, she settles nicely. That said, if her future family prefers no crate at all… Chloe fully supports that arrangement. She is fully housetrained, wonderful in the car, and does beautifully with routine. She’s also excellent for grooming and has become very comfortable being handled, brushed, bathed, and pampered. Her soft, hypoallergenic coat will require regular grooming appointments throughout her life to keep her comfortable and mat free. Chloe is wonderful with other dogs and truly enjoys playful companionship, but she does not need another dog in the home to be happy. Her deepest bond will always be with her human. In many ways, she’d probably love being the center of someone’s world. On leash, Chloe is still learning that she doesn’t need to greet every dog or person with immediate excitement 😅 She can become vocal when overstimulated simply because she’s eager to say hello and struggles with impulse control in those moments. She is not aggressive whatsoever, just expressive and enthusiastic. She will do best with a calm, confident owner willing to continue teaching her proper leash manners and helping her feel secure navigating the world without reacting to every exciting thing she sees. If you’re someone who dreams of long hiking trips every weekend or wants a dog constantly on the go, Chloe may not be your perfect match. But if your idea of happiness is slow mornings, cozy evenings, companionship while working from home, movie nights, errands together, quiet routines, and a little dog following you lovingly from room to room… Chloe fits that life beautifully. Chloe came to us after a young couple made the heartbreaking but loving decision to surrender her when they could no longer afford her care or basic veterinary needs. They loved her dearly and wanted more for her than they were able to provide. Since arriving with us, Chloe has blossomed under structure, consistency, proper veterinary care, and endless love. Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/chloe-3 It includes her spay, current vaccines, microchip with registration, full veterinary exam, dental evaluation with retained baby tooth extractions to prevent future crowding issues, grooming care, training, socialization, and months of individualized attention while preparing her for the right forever home. More than anything, Chloe deserves someone who sees her sensitive little heart for exactly what it is — loyal, devoted, loving, and incredibly special. She isn’t looking for just any home. She’s waiting for her person. 💙

Bodhi and Kenji are both pending adoption 🩵 We have a transport leaving May 23rd 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 our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Yogi found a wonderful home 🩵 And while my heart is so happy for him, it just makes me want the same even more for his brothers. Kenji and Bodhi are still here with us, still waiting, still loving life, and still hoping their families are out there 🩵🩵 These boys have grown so much over the past few weeks, not just in size but in who they are becoming. They’ve definitely filled out since their last weights, each gaining about a pound, and their personalities have really started to shine in the sweetest ways. They are now sleeping through the night in their crates without a single accident, which I’m so proud of them for. It’s become part of their routine and they settle in so peacefully at bedtime. Their house training is coming along beautifully too. With a consistent schedule in their next home, taking them out every couple of hours, they are going to continue to thrive. They truly want to do the right thing, and it shows. Kenji… my little love. He is still my sweetheart through and through. He will sit there and just look up at me like he’s asking without saying a word until I pick him up. And once I do, he melts completely. He could stay in my arms for hours if I let him, just soaking in every bit of love. There is something so gentle and pure about him, he just wants to be close to his person. Bodhi is my little dreamer. He has this carefree, peaceful way about him that I just adore. You’ll often find him sitting quietly, looking outside, watching the birds like he’s imagining all the adventures he’ll one day have. He’s not high energy at all, but he loves to play and always wants to be part of whatever is going on. He’s that perfect balance, present, curious, and just happy to be included. Both boys are incredibly affectionate, social, and easy to have in the home. They’ve been raised in a loving environment where they’re constantly interacted with, and it shows in how comfortable and trusting they are. They are crate trained and sleeping through the night beautifully. They are doing amazing with house training when kept on a routine. They are comfortable being held, handled, and loved on. They are playful without being overly energetic. They are just genuinely happy little souls. They are at that really special stage where their personalities are blossoming, their confidence is growing, and their bond with their person is going to become everything. As much as they love each other, we’ve seen how much more they open up individually when they’re on their own. That’s why we are looking for separate homes for them, so each of them gets the chance to fully become someone’s whole world. Their story started with a family who loved them very much but knew they needed help placing them responsibly. Since coming into our home, they’ve been raised right alongside our family, loved on, worked with, and truly known. They are not just puppies to us, and I think you can feel that. At the end of the day, I’m not just looking for a home, I’m looking for their home. The one where Kenji gets to be someone’s little shadow, and Bodhi gets to sit and watch the world with his person by his side. If you feel that connection, I would truly love to talk with you 💞 Their adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/yogi-bodhi-kenji I know that can sometimes feel like a lot at first glance, so I always like to share what goes into that, not just in terms of veterinary care but the time, love, and intention behind raising them the way we do. Each of these boys has received 4 rounds of DA2PP vaccinations Bordetella vaccine Rabies vaccine Microchip with registration A full veterinary exam and clearance Fecal testing and deworming through our vet Beyond that, their fee also helps cover the past couple of months they’ve spent here with us, being raised inside our home, not in kennels. That means constant interaction, socialization, structure, and love every single day. They’ve been worked with on crate training, house training, routine, and learning how to just be part of a home, which makes such a difference when they transition into their forever families. It also allows us to continue doing what we do, taking in dogs who need us, stepping in when families are overwhelmed, and making sure every dog that comes through here is given the same level of care and chance at a beautiful life 🩵
