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.

Adopting in Reno, NV

Reno's outdoor lifestyle and proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains make it an exciting city for pet adoption. Local shelters have many adventurous animals ready to explore the Biggest Little City with a new family who loves the outdoors.

From Truckee River walks through the heart of town to mountain hikes just minutes away, Reno offers adopted pets an active, nature-filled life with over 300 days of sunshine each year.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with moderate snowfall and freezing nights, though sunny days can warm up quickly. Pets need coats for morning walks and paw protection from ice and road treatment chemicals. The Truckee River path is often clear even when surrounding areas have snow, making it a reliable winter walking route.

Spring

32°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Windy conditions can kick up dust and sand from the surrounding desert. Keep walks shorter on the windiest days and protect your pet’s eyes from blowing debris. As snow melts in the Sierra, the Truckee River runs high, so keep pets away from swift water.

Summer

52°F to 94°F

Jun – Aug

Hot days with intense UV at 4,500 feet elevation require extra water and sun protection for pets. The low humidity makes the heat more tolerable than coastal cities, but shade is still essential. Mountain hikes just 30 minutes from town offer cooler temperatures for summer adventures with your pet.
