Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Oregon

We have a transport leaving on April 25th 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 girl to our trip for the right family 💕 Lucy has the sweetest, most gentle presence about her. She’s the kind of girl you don’t just notice right away with big energy, but the kind that slowly finds her way into your heart and settles there so deeply you can’t imagine life without her. At just over 11 pounds, she is full grown and at a beautiful, healthy weight, a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix with a soft, low-shedding coat that makes her not only beautiful, but so easy to have in the home as well. She’s a perfectly petite little companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her person. Her little bunny tail, which was docked prior to coming to us, is truly one of her cutest features. It looks to have been professionally done, and when she’s happy, those tiny little wiggles make it impossible not to smile. It’s such a small detail, but it adds so much to her charm and sweetness. Lucy came to us after her previous owner passed away, so we don’t have much history on her prior life beyond what we’ve been able to learn through our time with her and our vet’s assessment. What we do know is that she was deeply bonded to her person, and you can still feel that in her. She carries a quiet kind of love, the kind that is just waiting for somewhere safe to land again. She is spayed, current on all of her vaccines, microchipped, and has had a full dental cleaning and polish done. She received a thorough exam with our vet and has been fully cleared to find a home of her own. Lucy does well with other dogs, but she is still building her confidence when meeting new ones. She isn’t the type to run up and instantly make friends, and that’s okay. We believe, especially with how young she is, that she simply didn’t have much opportunity for socialization while her previous owner was ill. But she is so gentle, so willing, and still so young that she absolutely has the ability to grow, flourish, and learn that the world is full of friends who will meet her at her pace. She doesn’t need a home with other dogs, but she can absolutely coexist beautifully with them given a little time and patience. She is crate trained and sleeps well in her crate, but she is very adaptable and would do just as well transitioning to a bed of her own or cuddled up beside you if that’s what you prefer. Leash training is still new for her, but she is doing so well with it. She just needs a little patience and a lot of grace as she builds her confidence exploring the world outside of her home. Once she feels safe, you can see her curiosity begin to come through, and it’s such a beautiful thing to watch. Lucy is wonderful with the groomer and truly enjoys that one-on-one time being pampered and doted on. She is not high energy, even for her age, and is much more content simply being near her person. She will lay close by, follow you from room to room, and just quietly exist beside you in the most comforting way. Right now, you can feel that she is still processing the loss of her person, but there is so much light in her. I truly believe that once she is settled into a home where she feels safe and loved again, that joy will come rushing back and she will absolutely blossom. She is going to shine so beautifully for the person who gives her that chance. She is not a barker, and while she may occasionally alert you to something unfamiliar, she mostly looks to you for reassurance and will stay close by your side. She does amazing on car rides and is happy to join you on any adventure, big or small. Lucy loves people and warms up especially quickly when she’s being held and comforted. There is something so special about the way she leans into you once she trusts you, like she’s been waiting for that connection again. Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_lucy-2 This helps cover all of the veterinary care she has received, along with the time, love, grooming, and training that has gone into helping her get to where she is today.

We have a transport leaving on April 25th 2026 (possibly sooner) 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 ❤️
