About Chihuahua Dogs

Chihuahuas are pint-sized dogs with larger-than-life personalities. These saucy, confident little companions are fiercely loyal to their owners and surprisingly bold for their tiny stature. Their expressive eyes and quirky personalities make them endlessly entertaining.

Adopting a Chihuahua means gaining a portable, devoted companion who'll bond deeply with you. They're perfect for apartment living and travel, and their longevity means many years of companionship. With proper socialization, Chihuahuas are charming, affectionate little dogs who steal hearts wherever they go.

Adopting in Austin, TX

Austin is proudly one of the largest no-kill cities in America, making it a leader in pet adoption. The city's vibrant culture, outdoor lifestyle, and dog-friendly attitude create the perfect environment for adopted pets.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 62°F

Dec – Feb

Austin’s mild winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. Zilker Park and the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail provide great exercise. Labs handle the occasional freeze without needing extra layers.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily as Austin warms. Wildflower season (March-April) makes trail walks at McKinney Falls beautiful. Keep Labs on leash near Lady Bird Lake due to seasonal blue-green algae warnings.

Summer

72°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Austin’s intense heat is dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Barton Creek swimming holes are great for cooling off, but walk only before 7 AM. Watch for toxic algae blooms in Lady Bird Lake that are deadly for dogs.

Fall

58°F to 85°F

Sep – Nov

September stays hot in Austin, but by late October Labrador Retrievers can return to full-length hikes at the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Fall evenings at Zilker are ideal for fetching and off-leash play.
