About Roo

**Roo is available for adoption in Los Angeles only** Roo is a 13 week old Chihuahua mix that was found as a stray with her sister Maple in Kern county. She and Maple ended up on the euthanasia list and were pulled just in time to spare their lives! Roo was born with a defect in her front elbows where she can't fully extend her front legs and uses her forearms to hop around. We are currently determining whether surgery or remaining the same is the best option for her in the long term. Roo is a very happy little girl who loves to love and be cuddled by her human! She can't wait to meet her forever home!

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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

55°F to 72°F

Dec – Feb

The most comfortable season for outdoor pet activities, with lower humidity and abundant sunshine. Waterfront parks and Gulf beaches are ideal for long walks in pleasant conditions. Occasional cold fronts can drop temperatures into the 40s for a day or two, so keep a light jacket handy for thin-coated pets.

Spring

62°F to 85°F

Mar – May

Warming temperatures and increasing humidity mark the transition toward summer. Beach walks in the morning are still comfortable, but afternoon heat builds. Start flea, tick, and mosquito prevention if not already year-round, as pest activity surges with the warmth.

Summer

76°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

High humidity and daily afternoon thunderstorms make summer challenging for outdoor pet activities. Walk only in early morning, and bring pets indoors before afternoon storms bring dangerous lightning. Heat index values often exceed 100°F, so provide shade, water, and limit sun exposure.
