About Castiel

About Border Terrier Dogs

Border Terriers are small, tough working terriers with a distinctive otter-shaped head and wiry coat. Originally bred to hunt foxes along the English-Scottish border, they have the stamina and drive of a much larger dog packed into a compact body. They are one of the most balanced terrier breeds.

Adopting a Border Terrier brings an affectionate, adaptable companion into your home. They are good with children, get along with other dogs, and can happily live in an apartment or a country house. Their moderate exercise needs and friendly nature make them versatile family pets.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Houston winters are mild and pleasant, making them the best season for outdoor pet activities. Occasional cold fronts can bring temperatures near freezing, so have a light jacket ready for thin-coated breeds. This is the ideal time for long walks in Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou trails.

Spring

55°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and increasing humidity. Wildflowers bloom along trails and in parks throughout the city. Severe thunderstorms and flooding are common, so check weather forecasts before heading to low-lying areas like the bayou trails.

Summer

75°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Houston summers are dangerously hot and humid with heat indexes exceeding 105°F. Limit outdoor exercise to early morning or after sunset, and never leave pets in parked cars. Mosquitoes are at peak levels, making year-round heartworm prevention essential.
