Shorkie puppies and dogs in Eugene, Oregon

Gomez 1 year, neutered male, 10 lb Chihuahua mix LIKES: Blankets, spooning, TOUCHING HIS PERSON AT ALL TIMES, food, driving around in the car as the copilot. DISLIKES: Being alone, finding himself in strange places, rain & cold. PERSONALITY TRAITS: Gomez is the ultimate Velcro baby. He loves to be carried around and to snuggle super close in bed. His foster mom even puts him in a Moby to do chores. Gomez gives the sweetest little kisses and he's so soft to pet. He'll gladly roll over for belly rubs or snuggle into your neck once he knows you! POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Potty trained. CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Crate trained, although he will fuss if he's in there while you're sitting nearby. EXTRAS/MISC.:  Gomez is prone to a bit of panic when he's in a new house, and for that reason we will require his new home to be secure. This means solid fences, no escape routes, and crating when he's alone. He quickly gets over this as he attaches to his new family, but we just need to make sure he's safe until he gets there. We'd also like his new home to be within the main Eugene/Springfield metro area so that his foster can get there quickly if anything happens.

🐾 Zero — The Hug-Powered Hero Zero might only weigh 25 pounds, but he’s running pure main-character energy. This scrappy Chi-Terrier mix grew up on the tough streets of SoCal, dodging trouble and charming snacks out of strangers. These days, he’s traded back-alley hustle for hero duty — keeping watch, calling out suspicious noises, and making sure his person always knows when something’s up. But when the coast is clear? That’s when Zero unleashes his real superpower — the full-body hug. He leans in with everything he’s got, melting right into you until the world disappears. Then, just when your heart can’t take any more sweetness, he flips over and offers his belly like a tiny furry trust fall. Zero’s the perfect blend of alert dog and emotional support specialist: part security system, part therapy blanket. He’s loyal, funny, and always game for a snack break after patrol. Special Skills: 💞 Hug attack (melts humans instantly) 🔊 Early-warning bark system 🐾 Expert belly-rub receiver 🦴 Snack detection radar Zero’s ready to find his hero — someone who appreciates enthusiasm, loyalty, and the power of one perfectly timed hug.

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.
