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.

Dec – Feb

El Paso winters are mild and sunny, ideal for hiking in the Franklin Mountains with your pet. Nighttime temperatures can dip to freezing, so plan morning walks after sunrise. The low humidity keeps conditions comfortable for most breeds.

Spring

Spring brings warming temperatures but also frequent dust storms and high winds from March through May. Keep pets indoors during dust events and rinse eyes and fur afterward. Between windy spells, the desert trails are excellent for outdoor adventures.

Hot summers demand early morning or late evening walks only. The arid climate means low humidity, but intense sun and hot surfaces are serious hazards. Always provide shade and fresh water, and check paw pads for burns from rocky desert terrain.
