About Bruno

Hi, I'm new to Austin and am looking forward to meeting a foster or adopter to help show me around! My friends at APA might not know a ton about me just yet, but you could help them get valuable notes by offering to take me on a sleepover for a few days. Please stop by the shelter to meet me today!

About Yorkshire Terrier Dogs

Yorkshire Terriers pack enormous personality into a tiny package. These spirited, affectionate dogs are confident and feisty, with a brave streak that belies their delicate appearance. Yorkies are deeply devoted to their owners and make excellent watchdogs despite their small stature.

When you adopt a Yorkie, you're getting a portable, loving companion who thrives on attention and closeness. They adapt beautifully to apartment living and travel, and their hypoallergenic coat makes them a good choice for allergy sufferers.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 62°F

Dec – Feb

Austin’s mild winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. Zilker Park and the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail provide great exercise. Labs handle the occasional freeze without needing extra layers.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily as Austin warms. Wildflower season (March-April) makes trail walks at McKinney Falls beautiful. Keep Labs on leash near Lady Bird Lake due to seasonal blue-green algae warnings.

Summer

72°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Austin’s intense heat is dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Barton Creek swimming holes are great for cooling off, but walk only before 7 AM. Watch for toxic algae blooms in Lady Bird Lake that are deadly for dogs.

Fall

58°F to 85°F

Sep – Nov

September stays hot in Austin, but by late October Labrador Retrievers can return to full-length hikes at the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Fall evenings at Zilker are ideal for fetching and off-leash play.
