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 Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix offers a pet-friendly desert lifestyle with mild winters perfect for outdoor adventures with your adopted companion. Local shelters are home to many loving animals who thrive in the Valley of the Sun.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

45°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

Phoenix winters are the best time for Labrador Retrievers to enjoy the outdoors. South Mountain and Papago Park trails are perfect for high-energy Labs. The mild temperatures let them exercise to their heart’s content.

Spring

55°F to 90°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily in spring as they drop their undercoat. By May, Phoenix temperatures climb into the 90s and Labrador Retrievers need shorter walks. Transition to early morning outings by mid-spring.

Summer

78°F to 106°F

Jun – Aug

Phoenix summer is extremely dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Pavement can reach 170°F and burns paw pads. Walk Labs only before 6 AM or after 9 PM and never skip water. Heatstroke risk is very high.

Fall

60°F to 95°F

Sep – Nov

September is still brutally hot for Labs in Phoenix. By late October, Labrador Retrievers can resume normal exercise on desert trails. November is ideal for longer hikes at Camelback Mountain with your Lab.
