About Retriever Dogs

Retrievers are a beloved group of sporting dogs originally bred to retrieve game. They share common traits including friendly temperaments, intelligence, and a love of water. Retriever mixes are among the most popular and rewarding shelter dogs, combining loyalty with trainability.

Adopting a Retriever means bringing home one of the most people-friendly, adaptable dogs you can find. They are wonderful with children, easy to train, and eager to please. Their gentle mouths, patient nature, and enthusiasm for life make them quintessential family companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Baltimore winters bring cold temperatures and occasional snow that can coat streets and trails. Protect paws from road salt and keep walks shorter during freezing rain events. The Inner Harbor waterfront is exposed to wind, so choose sheltered routes on the coldest days.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and blooming gardens in Druid Hill Park and Patterson Park. As conditions improve, the Gwynns Falls Trail becomes ideal for longer walks. Tick activity increases in the Chesapeake Bay region, so start year-round prevention early.

Summer

65°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers call for shade and water on walks, especially along the exposed waterfront. Plan outings for morning or evening and avoid midday heat. Carry water for your pet and watch for signs of overheating on humid days.

Fall

45°F to 72°F
