About Pit Bull Terrier Dogs

Pit Bull Terriers are strong, athletic dogs with big, goofy smiles and even bigger hearts. Often misunderstood, these loving dogs are among the most loyal, people-oriented breeds you'll find. With proper socialization and training, they're gentle, affectionate companions who adore their families.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.

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 the only safe outdoor season for Siberian Huskies. Even then, temperatures above 65°F can make them uncomfortable during vigorous exercise. South Mountain and desert trails are great for hiking, but carry extra water since Huskies push hard.

Spring

55°F to 90°F

Mar – May

By April, Phoenix is already too hot for comfortable Husky exercise. Limit outdoor activity to predawn hours. Huskies will blow their coat heavily in response to the desert heat. Never shave a Husky even in Phoenix since the double coat protects against sunburn and heat absorption.

Summer

78°F to 106°F

Jun – Aug

Phoenix summers are extremely dangerous for Siberian Huskies. Temperatures above 100°F combined with a thick double coat create a life-threatening situation. Zero outdoor time except for brief predawn potty breaks. Multiple fans, AC, and frozen enrichment toys are essential for indoor stimulation.
