About Shih Tzu Dogs

Shih Tzus are charming, affectionate little dogs bred for centuries as royal companions. Their warm, trusting nature and love of people make them wonderful therapy dogs and family pets. They're content and happy as long as they're with their favorite humans.

Adopting a Shih Tzu means gaining a devoted lap companion who brings warmth and joy to your daily routine. Their adaptable nature makes them perfect for apartment living, and their gentle temperament makes them great with children and seniors alike.

Adopting in Aurora, CO

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with periodic snowstorms, but frequent sunny days warm things up quickly. The dry cold feels less harsh than humid climates at the same temperature. Protect paws from ice and carry extra water as the dry air dehydrates pets.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Colorado spring is unpredictable with warm days followed by heavy snowstorms. Cherry Creek State Park trails open up as conditions dry. Late spring brings the best balance of warmth and manageable trail conditions.

Summer

58°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Dry heat with low humidity makes summer more comfortable than eastern cities. Afternoon thunderstorms with lightning are common. Carry extra water on hikes as the altitude and dry air cause rapid dehydration in pets.

Fall

30°F to 68°F

Sep – Nov
