About Maurice

Maurice is a happy and friendly pup who we rescued through our San Bernardino Intervention Program. He has been getting along great with our other dogs here, as well as our staff and volunteers. He would be happy to have a new canine sibling, but would also be happy as your one and only! Please submit an application online if you are interesting in coming to meet him!1

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

48°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

LA winters are mild with occasional rain, making it comfortable for outdoor pet activities nearly every day. Cooler mornings are great for longer walks in Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon. Rain can make trails muddy and slippery, so stick to paved paths after storms.

Spring

52°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings beautiful weather and blooming wildflowers along coastal trails. This is an ideal time for beach outings at dog-friendly spots in Malibu and Long Beach. Grass pollen and seasonal allergies can affect pets, so watch for itchy skin or watery eyes.

Summer

65°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Coastal areas stay comfortable, but inland valleys can exceed 100°F. Keep walks to early morning or evening and always test pavement temperature. Wildfire smoke can degrade air quality, so monitor AQI and keep pets indoors on poor air days.
