Shih Poo puppies and dogs in Eugene, Oregon

Aria and Aira found wonderful homes 💞 Artie and Aero are pending adoption with two equally amazing homes 🩵🩵 We have a transport leaving at the end of March 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 😊 Born on 11/6/25, these four beautiful Schnauzer/Poodle babies came to us after their previous family experienced an accidental litter before mama could be spayed. It was never their intention to breed, and they lovingly reached out to us for help. In turn, we ensured both mom and dad were spayed and neutered so no future accidental litters would happen. For size reference, their mom weighs 16.8 lbs and their dad is just under 20 lbs full grown. While genetics give us a helpful guide, mixed breeds can vary slightly in maturity depending on which traits they favor as they grow. These puppies have been raised with intention, structure, affection, and daily hands-on care. They are incredibly well socialized, beautifully tempered, bright, and eager to learn. They are pad trained, sleep peacefully in their enclosed play yard at night, and are used to a structured routine. They have not yet begun outdoor house training or leash training, as we prioritized completing their vaccines before exposing them to shared dog areas. Beginning both house training and leash introduction in their new homes will allow them to bond directly with their adopting families while learning these important life skills in a consistent environment. This approach has helped keep them healthy and sets them up for success as they mature. All four puppies are considered hypoallergenic and have gorgeous coats that favor the Schnauzer side — soft, beautiful texture with that classic Schnauzer look rather than tight Poodle curls. Their coats will require regular grooming to maintain their healthy appearance as they grow. Each puppy has had a full veterinary exam and was cleared medically with a health certificate for their adopting family. They are current on all puppy-age vaccines including Bordetella, have been microchipped, and had fecal testing sent to the lab which came back negative (copies provided). They will go home on spay/neuter contracts as they are far too young to be altered, and keeping them past this bonding window would not benefit their emotional development. It is important they grow into themselves within their own families 💞 While they are siblings, they will be adopted individually unless someone is intentionally seeking a sibling pair. Each one deserves to be chosen for who they are as an individual soul. Now let me introduce you to their hearts… Aria – Female – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.84 lbs, Aria is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown. She is my shy, serene little girl. She doesn’t rush into the world — she softly steps into it. All she needs is a gentle voice and a few sweet words, and you can literally watch her open up. The moment she feels safe, her tail begins wagging like it has its own heartbeat. She is quiet by nature, calm, and deeply bonded to her person. She enjoys playtime, but her true happy place is simply being near you. She is the kind of puppy who will grow into a loyal, intuitive companion for someone who appreciates a tender heart and a peaceful presence. Aira – Female – Chocolate & Tan Currently weighing 3.93 lbs, Aira is our tiniest girl and expected to mature around 10–12 lbs full grown. Being the runt, she will likely remain a smaller-framed companion — though occasionally the smallest surprise us all with a little growth spurt. Even so, she should remain noticeably more petite than her siblings. She may be little, but her personality is anything but. She is bold in love. She will be the first to tug at your pant leg so you’ll lower yourself to her level — because in her mind, your lap is exactly where she belongs. She is incredibly bright, observant, and very people-oriented. If she can’t find you, she will absolutely let you know she’s looking for you. She bonds deeply and quickly, and her affectionate nature wins hearts instantly. Sweet as pie with a spark of sass, she will thrive with someone who adores an attached little shadow. Artie – Male – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.87 lbs, Artie is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown, likely being one of the larger siblings alongside Aria. He is my biggest personality and resident teddy bear. He is pure love wrapped in fluff. He has mastered the dramatic “sad puppy” look — especially when he’s gotten into something he shouldn’t have (like pulling fluff from a stuffie 😅). He commits fully to the performance, and it’s nearly impossible to stay upset for long. The moment he knows he’s forgiven, his tail starts wagging and he runs to you like life is perfect again. He is affectionate, playful, and has a soft, goofy charm that makes him unforgettable. He will grow into a loyal, fun-loving companion who keeps life light. Aero – Male – Tri-Color (Tan/Gray/White) Currently weighing 6.73 lbs, Aero is expected to mature around 16–18 lbs full grown, placing him right between the smaller and larger siblings. He is my clever little mastermind. Mischievous? Yes. Intelligent? Absolutely. He watches everything. You can almost see him planning his next move. His current hobby is dragging puppy pads to his bed and shredding them like a built-in paper shredder — and then attempting to convince me it wasn’t him (even when the evidence is literally stuck to his face 😆). He is sly, observant, and incredibly smart. His curiosity and problem-solving nature will flourish in a home that provides mental stimulation and consistent guidance. Underneath his antics is a bright, affectionate boy who just loves engagement. As with all mixed breeds, adult size is an educated estimate based on current growth and parental size, but slight variation is always possible as they mature. What we can confidently say is that they will remain in the small companion range — wonderful sizes for both active households and cozy homes alike. These babies are beautifully balanced — playful yet affectionate, intelligent yet eager to please. They are at the perfect age to bond deeply with their forever families and continue building confidence in a loving home environment. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/aero-artie-aria-aira Their adoption fee covers all veterinary care to date (vaccines including Bordetella, exam, fecal testing with negative lab results, microchips, health certificates), their daily care, socialization, and structured foundation while in our care. As always, a portion also goes back toward the spay and neuter of their parents — because without responsible follow-through, these little lives wouldn’t be possible 💞 If you feel drawn to one of them, tell us about yourself and the life you can offer. We are committed to making the absolute best match for each puppy and their future family.

Yogi is pending adoption Kenji and Bodhi are still patiently waiting for homes and families of their own 🩵🩵 We have a transport leaving on March 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 our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Yogi, Bodhi & Kenji Shih Tzu Brothers | Born 11/19/2025 Every once in a while a group of puppies comes along that reminds you just how joyful and full of personality Shih Tzus truly are. Yogi, Bodhi, and Kenji are three wonderful little brothers who entered our care through a situation that was never intended but worked out exactly the way it needed to. Their previous family owned both parents and had already scheduled spay surgeries for their girls. Unfortunately, before those appointments could take place, both females went into heat and their male Shih Tzu managed to do his job before anyone realized what had happened. What followed was a surprise double litter. The family loved these puppies dearly and cared for them beautifully during their earliest weeks, but they also recognized that raising and placing six puppies responsibly was more than they were equipped to do. When the puppies were old enough to be weaned, they reached out to us so we could step in to continue their care, training, socialization, veterinary work, and eventually help find each of them the kind of forever home they deserve. The boys’ mother is a traditional Shih Tzu, and their father is also a traditional Shih Tzu. These three brothers may share the same start in life, but their personalities are wonderfully unique. Yogi – 7.49 lbs Yogi is the confident little explorer of the group. He approaches life with curiosity and excitement and is often the first one to check out something new. He’s playful, outgoing, and full of personality but equally enjoys being scooped up for snuggles. Yogi has a great balance of playful energy and affectionate companionship. Bodhi – 8.08 lbs Bodhi is the thoughtful sweetheart of the trio. He tends to observe the world for a moment before diving into the fun, but once he does, he’s right there with his brothers enjoying every minute. Bodhi has an incredibly gentle personality and a calm, loving presence that makes people fall for him quickly. Kenji – 6.47 lbs Kenji is the tiny charmer. He’s playful, social, and incredibly affectionate with everyone he meets. He has that classic Shih Tzu sweetness and seems happiest when he’s interacting with people. Kenji is full of love and personality and thrives on connection. All three boys are extremely social and enjoy meeting new people. They love playing together but are also content entertaining themselves with a favorite toy. They have already begun learning basic structure and are showing how intelligent and eager to learn they are. They currently know “stay” and are working on “sit,” especially when treats are involved. They sleep through the night and are pad trained. Like most puppies, a few of them have discovered that occasionally carrying the pad to their bed is more entertaining than using it, but a quick correction usually reminds them it belongs on the floor. They travel well and enjoy going along for rides around town. Because they have been held and loved since birth, they are extremely comfortable being handled and cuddled. Leash training will begin in their adoptive homes as we waited until all vaccines were completed before allowing them outside in shared dog areas. Health & Veterinary Care All puppies have received: • Four rounds of DA2PP vaccinations • First Bordetella vaccine • One-year Rabies vaccine • Microchips They have been thoroughly examined by our veterinarian and will go home with individual health certificates confirming healthy exams. A fecal test has also been submitted to the lab and the results came back with one type of parasite (worm) so the puppies are all currently being dewormed through our vet to clear that up. Spay & Neuter Contract Because of their young age, these puppies will be placed on spay and neuter contracts. While some rescues sterilize puppies very early, we believe in allowing their bodies the opportunity to grow and mature before undergoing those procedures whenever possible. Allowing dogs to reach full physical development can support healthier joint development, hormone balance, and overall growth. Adopters will agree to have their puppy spayed or neutered at an appropriate age recommended by their veterinarian. A portion of each puppy’s adoption fee has already gone toward ensuring the spay and neuter procedures for both parents were completed, so their previous family will never experience another accidental litter again. Adoption Fee Each puppy’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/yogi-bodhi-kenji This covers: • All veterinary care listed above including their deworming though our vet. • Six plus weeks of rescue care, training, and socialization • Microchipping and health certificates Life With These Boys Shih Tzus are known for their affectionate and companion-oriented personalities, and these boys truly embody that spirit. They will thrive in homes where they can be part of daily life — whether that means relaxing beside you while you read, riding along for errands, or playing with toys at your feet while you work. Their playful nature brings joy, but their loving hearts make them incredible companions. Each of these boys is ready to bring laughter, affection, and warmth into the life of the person meant for them. Don’t miss the chance to welcome one of these special little souls into your world.

Pending adoption We have a transport leaving on 2/28/26 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 Gemma to our trip for the right family 😊 Gemma is a truly special girl, and the kind of dog who quietly changes your life once she chooses you as her person. She is a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle with a very fine, wavy to slightly curly coat that is hypoallergenic, so you won’t have to worry about shedding. Gemma is small framed and naturally petite, estimating around 35–40 lbs, and she is fully grown. Her weight will be updated following her upcoming spay. Gemma is set to be spayed on 2/3/26, and her adoption listing will be updated once that is complete to include all finalized veterinary care. Temperament-wise, Gemma is nothing short of exceptional. She is sweet, kind, loving, attentive, and incredibly intelligent — observant in a way that is hard to put into words. She prefers to be near her person, always aware of where you are, quietly devoted, and eager to become someone’s lifelong companion. She is cautious by nature when meeting new people, so we are looking for a confident and patient adopter who understands that Gemma opens her heart thoughtfully. But once she does, she never closes it again. When Gemma loves you, that bond runs deep and lasts a lifetime. Gemma is wonderful with other dogs, both big and small, and she adores children. She loves our family as a whole — men, women, and children alike — and once she loves you, that’s it. She is not a barker, but she will alert you to unfamiliar noises. She has excellent house manners, travels beautifully on road trips of any length, and is absolutely phenomenal at the groomer. Energy-wise, Gemma is beautifully balanced. She is not high energy, but she has no trouble keeping up with you and whatever adventures the day may bring. At the same time, she is perfectly content to relax, cuddle, and simply be close to you. Gemma came to us because her previous owner loved her deeply but did not have the space she deserved. Rather than confining her to a small area, she made the selfless decision to give Gemma the chance at a fuller, happier life — one with room to thrive. Gemma is an incredible dog in every sense. She is gentle, loyal, and deeply devoted, and she will make someone unbelievably happy to spend their life with. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/gemma-1 This includes her spay, vaccines, microchip and registration, and exam with our vet, along with the care, grooming costs, and training she has received while in our care. If anything additional is needed, such as a dental cleaning, the adoption fee may be adjusted to help offset those costs.
