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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 58°F

Dec – Feb

Oakland winters are cool and wet, with rain falling mostly between November and March. Lake Merritt and neighborhood parks remain pleasant on dry days. Muddy conditions on hills trails are common, so stick to paved paths after storms.

Spring

48°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring brings greening hillsides and wildflowers throughout the East Bay parks. As rain tapers off, trails in Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park dry out for hiking. Watch for foxtail grass that begins appearing in late spring and can be dangerous for dogs.

Summer

55°F to 75°F

Jun – Aug

Oakland summers are dry and mild, with moderate temperatures comfortable for all breeds. Wildfire smoke from the East Bay hills may occasionally affect air quality. Check foxtail grass areas carefully and inspect your dog’s ears, nose, and paws after hikes.
