Shih Poo puppies and dogs in Eugene, Oregon

Nyx is the only one still looking for a home! We have a transport leaving in May 2026 (date to be determined as May is a very busy month for us) 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 are currently on a transport all the way up in OR, and will be traveling back through NorCal. Mabel's adoption unfortunately fell through due to no fault of her own! We are sharing her in hopes that maybe we will find her a good home before heading back into SoCal. We will be in OR between 4/28-4/29, and will be traveling through NorCal the evening of 4/29 through 4/30. If it works out that we are able to find her an amazing home, GREAT!! If not, that's okay too because we do these transports monthly and will be back up in May 💕 Meet our sweet girl Mabel 💕 Approximate Birthday: 9/25/25 Weight: 15 lbs (as of 04/15/26) Mabel is something truly special 💗 As the only girl of the trio, she carries herself a little differently. There is a quiet strength in her, a calmness that feels far beyond her age. She is my observer… always close by, watching, taking everything in, making sure she feels safe and secure before stepping into anything new. She is beautifully independent. While her brothers find comfort in being close to one another, Mabel is perfectly content in her own space. She sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate on her own, completely at ease. There is a wisdom in her… a calm, collected presence that makes you pause and really see her. And then, just when you least expect it, her puppy side comes out and you see that playful spark, especially when treats are involved 😊 Mabel is a poodle/cocker spaniel mix with a soft hypoallergenic coat, and we expect her to be around 18–20 lbs full grown. Her story, like her brothers, is one rooted in love and loss. Her previous owner had been battling cancer quietly and, after reaching remission, chose to bring joy back into her life. She went to bring home one puppy, but her heart couldn’t leave the other two behind… so she brought all three home, creating a family for herself. Tragically, her remission did not last, and when her cancer returned, it came back aggressively. She passed away in her home, and a kind neighbor stepped in immediately to make sure the puppies were safe. Working with the owner’s daughter, who was unable to take them, she ensured they would find their way to a safe and loving place… which led them to us. Mabel has had all of her vetting restarted from the beginning. She has received multiple DA2PP vaccines, two Bordetella vaccines, and her rabies vaccine. Her fecal test came back negative, she is microchipped, and has had a full veterinary exam with a health certificate ready for her future family. She has not yet been spayed, as we recommend waiting until 10–12 months of age for proper development. She will go home on a spay contract. She is doing wonderfully with house training on a consistent 2–3 hour schedule and has kept our home accident free. She is crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and does great on car rides. Mabel is great with other dogs, wonderful with cats, and gentle with men, women, and children alike. She does well with grooming, bath time, and loves water 💦 Leash training will be new for her, but with patience, consistency, and a treat pouch, she will do very well. Mabel is for someone who appreciates a softer, quieter soul… a dog who will bond deeply, observe the world with you, and love you in the most steady and genuine way 💗 Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/mabel This covers the care, time, training, socialization, grooming, and full veterinary work invested into her.

We have a transport leaving in May of 2026 (date to be determined as May is a busy month for us) 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 handsome boy to our trip for the right family 💕 Ozzy is proof that the tiniest souls can leave the biggest impressions. Born 2/22/24, this precious Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix weighs just above 4½ pounds full grown and is naturally petite in every way. With a Shih Tzu mama and Yorkie daddy, Ozzy is a perfect blend of sweetness, loyalty, and charm wrapped into one adorable little companion. Ozzy has an endearing sparkle to him. While calm and gentle like his brother, he has a slightly more inquisitive nature that makes him so fun to watch. He notices everything, takes in the world around him, and seems genuinely interested in being part of whatever life is happening around him. He is not wild or busy, just beautifully engaged in the sweetest little way. His previous owner loved him deeply, but with a demanding work schedule, she knew Ozzy deserved more companionship than she could provide. She recognized how much he thrives in the presence of his person and wanted him to have a life where he felt included, cherished, and no longer left waiting for someone to come home. It was a heartbreaking but loving decision made entirely for him. Ozzy is calm, easygoing, and wonderfully adaptable. He is not a barker. He is more of an observer who would happily sit beside you and quietly watch the world go by. Whether it is relaxing at home, joining you on errands, or sitting together at the park, Ozzy just wants to be part of your day. Because of his tiny size, Ozzy does need to be accompanied outside for potty breaks due to wildlife concerns. He depends on his people to safely take him out throughout the day. He also understands puppy pads if that is preferred in his next home. He is crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night, though if it were up to him, he would much rather be close to his person in bed or curled nearby in his own cozy bed. Leash walking was never really introduced before coming to us, so that can be learned in his next home if desired. Thankfully, Ozzy’s tiny size makes him incredibly easy to bring along anywhere in a sling, carrier, stroller, or lovingly tucked into your arms. Ozzy is wonderful with other dogs, cats, men, women, and children alike. He is gentle and social without being overwhelming. He also does beautifully at the groomers and is an absolute angel on the table. Car rides and road trips are something he has already shown he enjoys. Ozzy would be perfect for someone wanting a tiny best friend with a peaceful heart and a curious little spirit. He is the kind of dog who will make everyday moments feel sweeter simply because he is there. His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_ozzy This includes his neuter, dental cleaning and polish, vaccines, microchip, and a thorough exam with our vet. It also helps cover the months of care, training, grooming, and love invested into him while in rescue. Ozzy is freshly groomed and ready to meet the person he has been waiting for.
