About Chief

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.

Winter is Honolulu’s wettest season, with periodic rain showers that pass quickly. Temperatures remain warm and comfortable for daily walks, but trails in the Ko’olau Mountains can be slippery after rain. Carry a towel for drying off your pet after unexpected downpours.
