About Lefty

About Terrier Dogs

Terriers are a diverse group of spirited, energetic dogs originally bred for hunting vermin and small game. They share common traits including boldness, intelligence, and a lively personality. Terrier mixes are popular shelter dogs that combine tenacity with affectionate, entertaining personalities.

Adopting a Terrier brings a feisty, loyal companion who is always ready for action. They are typically alert, brave, and entertaining, with personalities much larger than their size. Their energy and intelligence make them engaging companions for active households.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

30°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Valley temperatures stay relatively mild, but mountain trails can be icy. Keep pets leashed on steep sections and avoid frozen creek crossings. Light snow and freezing rain occur a few times each winter.

Spring

48°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Heavy spring rains can cause creek flooding along popular trail routes. Wildflowers along the Riverwalk make for beautiful outings. Start flea and tick preventatives early as the wooded terrain harbors both.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

The valley traps humidity, making summer feel hotter than the temperature suggests. Seek shaded trails on Lookout Mountain or walk along the river during cooler morning hours. Always carry water for your pet.
