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

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

The rainy season brings most of the annual 18 inches of rainfall. Trails can be muddy and creek crossings may be dangerous. Between storms, clear days with ocean views make wonderful walking weather for pets.

Wildflowers carpet the hillsides and the marine layer burns off by midmorning. Beach walks are excellent and the mountain trails dry out. One of the best times of year for outdoor adventures with your pet.

Morning marine layer keeps things cool along the coast. Afternoons warm up but rarely feel hot thanks to ocean breezes. Hendry's Beach is packed with dogs and their owners enjoying the surf.
