Adopting in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix offers a pet-friendly desert lifestyle with mild winters perfect for outdoor adventures with your adopted companion. Local shelters are home to many loving animals who thrive in the Valley of the Sun.

With scenic hiking trails at South Mountain and Papago Park, spacious dog parks, and a growing number of pet-friendly businesses, Phoenix is a great place to give a shelter pet a second chance at happiness.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

Phoenix winters are mild and sunny, making them the prime season for outdoor pet activities. Hiking trails at South Mountain and Papago Park are perfect for dogs in this comfortable weather. Nighttime temperatures can dip into the low 40s, so smaller breeds may need a light layer for early morning walks.

Spring

55°F to 90°F

Mar – May

Spring starts pleasantly but heats up fast by May, when temperatures regularly hit 90°F. Enjoy trails and dog parks in March and April before the heat sets in. Rattlesnakes become more active in spring, so stay on marked trails and consider snake avoidance training for your dog.

Summer

78°F to 106°F

Jun – Aug

Summers are extreme with temperatures exceeding 105°F and pavement reaching 170°F. Walk dogs only before 7 AM or after 8 PM, and always test the ground with your hand first. Keep fresh water available at all times, as heatstroke is a life-threatening risk for pets in the Valley.
