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 El Paso, TX

El Paso's sunny desert climate and tight-knit community make it a great city for pet adoption. Local shelters and rescue groups work tirelessly to find homes for animals in the Sun City.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

32°F to 58°F

Dec – Feb

El Paso winters are comfortable for Labrador Retrievers. Franklin Mountains State Park trails are ideal for high-energy Labs. The dry, mild conditions let them exercise to their full potential.

Spring

45°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Spring dust storms can irritate Labs’ eyes and respiratory system. Keep walks shorter during high-wind days. As temperatures climb, transition Labrador Retrievers to early morning outings by mid-spring.

Summer

68°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

El Paso’s dry heat is intense but slightly easier on Labs than humid cities. Still, walk before 6 AM only. Rocky desert terrain can be rough on paw pads, so check your Labrador Retriever’s feet after hikes.

Fall

48°F to 82°F

Sep – Nov

By October, Labrador Retrievers can resume longer outings in El Paso. The Franklin Mountains and Hueco Tanks offer excellent fall hiking. Labs’ coats start filling in even in this mild desert winter climate.
