About Pit Bull Terrier Dogs

Pit Bull Terriers are strong, athletic dogs with big, goofy smiles and even bigger hearts. Often misunderstood, these loving dogs are among the most loyal, people-oriented breeds you'll find. With proper socialization and training, they're gentle, affectionate companions who adore their families.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

The best season for outdoor pet activities, with comfortable temperatures and clear skies. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve’s 30,000 acres of trails are ideal for long hikes with your pet. Mornings can be cool, so bring a light layer for short-haired breeds on early walks.

Spring

52°F to 95°F

Mar – May

Temperatures rise rapidly from pleasant to hot. Enjoy the early spring weeks for longer trail outings before the heat builds. Rattlesnakes emerge from hibernation, so keep pets on leash and on marked trails in the desert preserves.

Summer

78°F to 105°F

Jun – Aug

Extreme heat limits outdoor activity to dawn and dusk only. Walk pets before 6 AM or after 9 PM, and always test pavement temperature. Monsoon storms bring sudden downpours and dust storms in July and August, so bring pets indoors quickly when storms approach.
