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

38°F to 55°F

Dec – Feb

Dense tule fog is the defining hazard of Stockton winters, reducing visibility to near zero on some mornings. Use reflective collars and leashes for any walk in low-visibility conditions, and stick to well-lit, familiar routes. Temperatures are mild but damp, so dry your pet after walks to prevent skin irritation.

Spring

48°F to 78°F

Mar – May

Fog lifts and the Delta region greens up, creating pleasant conditions for outdoor time. Foxtail grass begins to emerge and can embed in paws, ears, and noses, so check your pet thoroughly after walks in grassy areas. Temperatures climb steadily, so start adjusting walk times earlier in the morning.

Summer

60°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug
