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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 60°F

Dec – Feb

San Jose winters are mild and rainy, with occasional storms bringing heavy downpours. Trails in Alum Rock Park and along the Guadalupe River can be muddy and slippery. Dress your pet for rain and stick to paved paths during wet spells.

Spring

Mar – May

Spring brings greening hillsides and wildflowers throughout the Bay Area parks. Temperatures are comfortable for all-day outings with your pet. As the rainy season tapers off, trails dry out and become ideal for hiking.

San Jose summers are dry and warm with low humidity, making outdoor activities pleasant. Wildfire smoke from nearby mountains can affect air quality in late summer. Monitor AQI forecasts and keep pets indoors on poor air quality days.
