Story
Charlie is a 4 year old pur-bred Shi-tzu who would do well in a home with an older owner or someone without kids. He does not like small childen and has been known to snap at/show his teeth if they grab at him. He prefers females to males but I think he would warm up to a male if need be. He lived in a small apartment with a Red heeler and a cat whom he got along with fine. Living in the apartment Charlie got used to using potty pads when no one was home for long periods of time. His new owner S/B willing to leave a potty pad out while they are away from the home to prevent accidents. He was originally purchased from a breeder by my step mom who has since started having memory issues. I took over his care 3 years back but am in a new place that will not allow me to keep him. He is currently with the breeder who has 7 dogs and can’t keep him.

Story
Gray Hoverfluff looks like the kind of dog someone dreamed up after saying, “what if we made the world’s cutest little gentleman?” Everything about him feels unfairly adorable. The fluffy scruff, the tiny beard, the soft soulful eyes that look like they hold centuries of wisdom and at least three love songs. He has this cozy, comforting presence about him that makes people instantly melt, like he was specifically designed to be carried around, cuddled nonstop, and treated like royalty. And once his shy little personality starts to peek through? Forget it. Between the tiny play bows, the sweet gentle affection, and the way he quietly sticks close to his people, Gray has that rare kind of charm that sneaks up on you fast and suddenly has you wondering how you ever lived without a tiny bearded sidekick following you around the house. Watch his video and fall in love with this cutie: https://youtu.be/xsF8_wAWoKc?si=fOnreeAWgqX_Wi2t Gray Hoverfluff is believed to be a Shih Tzu mix approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 11 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Gray is a bit shy at first when meeting new people, in new environments and may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’s all about affection and spoiling you with his gentle love. He truly shines as a lap dog and is happiest curled up close to his person, soaking in love and giving it right back. His energy level is beautifully balanced, not too busy and not too sleepy. Just the right amount of energy, the kind of pup who fits perfectly into your routine. He enjoys getting out for walks (and walks nicely on a leash!) but is just as content relaxing at home snuggled up next you on the couch binge watching your favorite show or movie. He’s dog-friendly and has done great with every dog we have introduced him to. He has met dogs his size and smaller and has also been around dogs twice his size! No matter the size, Gray has shown to be a polite gentle gentleman when he meets a dog on leash and shows that same level of gentleness when meeting dogs off leash. From what we have observed so far, he hasn’t been a super playful boy for the most part and though he may develop a playful side to him with other dogs after some time in his forever home. He did seem to open up more around If you don’t have other dogs, that’s fine by Gray too! He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or a pal to help him feel comfortable. He is a chill fella that doesn’t need a whole lot of exercise and he will naturally need some time to acclimate to his new surroundings. Gray also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also seem to feel comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for Gray to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Gray has the kind of easygoing personality that allows him to thrive in many living situations. He would do very well in an apartment or condo setting, especially with someone who enjoys daily walks and a relaxed routine. His well-balanced energy level and polite leash manners make him a great neighbor-friendly companion. He would also be perfectly happy in a suburban home with a backyard, where he could enjoy sniffing around, sunbathing, and lounging after his walks. While he’d appreciate outdoor access, he doesn’t rely on a yard to be fulfilled; his happiness comes from companionship, not square footage. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who bonds deeply, loves cuddles, and brings a steady, comforting presence into your life, Gray may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. We are willing to test Gray Hoverfluff with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

Story
Diggie looks like someone shrunk Chewbacca down into an 11 lb bestie with tiny paws and a perfect button nose. Freshly groomed he is adorable, but when that scruffy grey coat grows out? Full rescue-muppet magic! Estimated to be about 4 years old, Diggie is a Shih Tzu mix with a playful side, a sensitive heart, and a very strong attachment to his people. Rescue rules apply, so breed and age are our best guess. Go watch Diggie Doodlebug on YouTube then come right back to read more about this shaggy little sweetheart. https://youtu.be/4uY3QypwIAY Diggie is currently fostered in a loving home where his foster describes him as playful, lovable, extremely smart, and full of personality once comfortable. He loves toys, enjoys digging dramatically through dog beds, and bonds deeply with his people. He especially loves kids and would truly thrive in a home with children. He also lives with cats successfully and can do well with calm, easygoing dogs after slow introductions. Once comfortable he is a bouncy, playful boy. The day we met Diggie he was in an unfamiliar environment with a heap of new people, not ideal for his sensitive nature but even while stressed he remained incredibly soft-tempered and never once reacted roughly. Once he trusts someone, though, his foster shares that he can handle a busy lifestyle and genuinely enjoys going places with her. Diggie is not currently leash trained but continues to practice with his foster, so a home with a secure yard would make life much easier for him while he continues building up his leash confidence. Crates are also stressful for him and his foster does not currently use one but shares that he is trustworthy in the home and has not been a necessity. This little guy is not an instant “life of the party” dog. He is a relationship-first dog. But for someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace, there is a really funny, loving, toy-obsessed little companion underneath that fluffy grey fur. Ready to welcome Diggie home?

What my friends at OHS say about me:I'm a petite lady but pack a ton of personality into this small package!All this change in my life has been really tough on me, I can't help but be cautious and worried. I'm longing for an understanding person, with a warm bed, treats and the willingness to give me time and space to settle in- could that be you?Are you an introvert? Me too! Hanging out at home and in the company of my few favorite people will be ideal for me, as novelty can be worrisome.Despite my small, portable size, I am often sensitive to being fussed over and held.I have lived with other dogs in my last home.Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.I have chronic skin issues which will require long term management. It can be caused by different factors such as fleas, food or environmental factors.I have been diagnosed with dental disease which means I may need dental cleanings or extractions in the future.I have been diagnosed with chronic dry eye (KCS), which will require long-term medical management.The type of home I'm looking for:I need to go to an adult only home.I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me.It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process. Primary Color: Black Weight: 8.375 Age: 8yrs 2mths 3wks

Story
We have a transport leaving in May 22nd 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 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.
