About Terrier Dogs

Terriers are a diverse group of spirited, energetic dogs originally bred for hunting vermin and small game. They share common traits including boldness, intelligence, and a lively personality. Terrier mixes are popular shelter dogs that combine tenacity with affectionate, entertaining personalities.

Adopting a Terrier brings a feisty, loyal companion who is always ready for action. They are typically alert, brave, and entertaining, with personalities much larger than their size. Their energy and intelligence make them engaging companions for active households.

Adopting in Tucson, AZ

Tucson's warm desert climate and relaxed pace of life create a welcoming environment for adopted pets. The city's shelters and rescue organizations work hard to connect animals with loving families.

With stunning desert landscapes, Saguaro National Park nearby, and a strong animal welfare community, Tucson is a beautiful place to give a shelter pet a second chance at happiness.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

38°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Tucson winters are mild and sunny, making them the best season for desert trail hikes with your dog. Saguaro National Park and Sabino Canyon are ideal for pet-friendly outings. Nighttime temperatures can dip into the upper 30s, so bring a layer for early morning walks.

Spring

48°F to 88°F

Mar – May

Spring brings wildflower blooms in the desert and warming temperatures. March and April are excellent for hiking before summer heat arrives. By May, temperatures climb toward 90°F, so start shifting outdoor activities to cooler hours.

Summer

72°F to 102°F

Jun – Aug

Summers are dangerously hot with temperatures exceeding 100°F. Walk pets only in early morning or after sunset and always test pavement temperature. Monsoon storms from July through September bring sudden downpours and flash flood risks in washes and arroyos.
