About Pit Bull Terrier Dogs

Pit Bull Terriers are strong, athletic dogs with big, goofy smiles and even bigger hearts. Often misunderstood, these loving dogs are among the most loyal, people-oriented breeds you'll find. With proper socialization and training, they're gentle, affectionate companions who adore their families.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

35°F to 46°F

Dec – Feb

Mild temperatures but persistent rain and overcast skies define Tacoma winters. A waterproof jacket for your pet and rain gear for yourself are essential for daily walks. Point Defiance Park remains beautiful even in winter, and the forest canopy provides some shelter from rain on trail walks.

Spring

38°F to 60°F

Mar – May

Rain gradually decreases and temperatures warm, bringing the Pacific Northwest to life. The waterfront trails become increasingly pleasant as sunshine returns. Muddy trail conditions persist into April, so plan for post-walk paw cleaning after forest walks.

Summer

52°F to 78°F

Jun – Aug

Dry, sunny days with comfortable temperatures make summer the best season for outdoor pet activities. Point Defiance Park and the waterfront trails are at their absolute best during these months. The cool Puget Sound climate means heat stress is rarely a concern for pets.
