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

38°F to 55°F

Dec – Feb

Dense tule fog is the defining hazard of Stockton winters, reducing visibility to near zero on some mornings. Use reflective collars and leashes for any walk in low-visibility conditions, and stick to well-lit, familiar routes. Temperatures are mild but damp, so dry your pet after walks to prevent skin irritation.

Spring

48°F to 78°F

Mar – May

Fog lifts and the Delta region greens up, creating pleasant conditions for outdoor time. Foxtail grass begins to emerge and can embed in paws, ears, and noses, so check your pet thoroughly after walks in grassy areas. Temperatures climb steadily, so start adjusting walk times earlier in the morning.

Summer

60°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Extreme heat regularly exceeds 95°F and pavement temperatures can be dangerous. Walk pets only before 8 AM or after 8 PM, and never leave them in vehicles even briefly. Provide multiple water sources and shade for any outdoor time, and watch for signs of heat stroke such as heavy panting and lethargy.
