About Chihuahua Dogs

Chihuahuas are pint-sized dogs with larger-than-life personalities. These saucy, confident little companions are fiercely loyal to their owners and surprisingly bold for their tiny stature. Their expressive eyes and quirky personalities make them endlessly entertaining.

Adopting a Chihuahua means gaining a portable, devoted companion who'll bond deeply with you. They're perfect for apartment living and travel, and their longevity means many years of companionship. With proper socialization, Chihuahuas are charming, affectionate little dogs who steal hearts wherever they go.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

12°F to 35°F

Dec – Feb

Omaha winters are cold with snow, ice, and biting wind. Bundle up short-haired breeds in insulated coats and limit time outdoors during wind chills below zero. Rinse paws after walks to remove road salt and de-icing chemicals.

Spring

32°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring is pleasant but brief, with rapidly warming temperatures. Severe thunderstorms are possible as warm and cold fronts clash over the Great Plains. Gene Leahy Mall and the Riverfront parks are excellent for pet walks as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers with severe thunderstorm risk call for careful planning of outdoor activities. Walk in the morning or evening and carry water for your pet. The Missouri River trails and Heartland of America Park offer scenic but exposed routes, so seek shade.

Fall

35°F to 72°F

Sep – Nov
