Hi there! I'm available for adoption and the staff is still getting to know me. As they learn more about my personality, they'll be able to share all the wonderful things that make me special. For now, I'm just waiting patiently for someone to come meet me and see if we're the perfect match! Interested in meeting me? Email utahadoptions@bestfriends.org or text 385-405-5145.

About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require warm coats for pets and paw protection from salt and ice. Winter inversions trap pollution in the valley, so monitor air quality before long walks. Higher-elevation trails may be snow-packed.

Spring

38°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Snowmelt creates muddy trail conditions at lower elevations and runoff can make streams dangerous. Spring wildflowers in the foothills are beautiful for hikes. Temperatures can swing 30 degrees in a single day, so layer appropriately.

Summer

62°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and dry at valley level, but mountain canyons offer cooler retreats. Carry extra water as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains, so start hikes early and watch for lightning.
