About Shih Tzu Dogs

Shih Tzus are charming, affectionate little dogs bred for centuries as royal companions. Their warm, trusting nature and love of people make them wonderful therapy dogs and family pets. They're content and happy as long as they're with their favorite humans.

Adopting a Shih Tzu means gaining a devoted lap companion who brings warmth and joy to your daily routine. Their adaptable nature makes them perfect for apartment living, and their gentle temperament makes them great with children and seniors alike.

Adopting in New York, NY

New York City is one of the best places in the country to adopt a pet. With hundreds of shelters and rescue organizations across all five boroughs, you can find dogs, cats, and other companions waiting for a forever home.

From Central Park strolls to neighborhood dog runs, NYC offers endless ways to bond with your new best friend. Adopt, don't shop, and give a shelter pet the city life they deserve.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

NYC winters bring snow, ice, and salted sidewalks that can irritate paw pads. Use booties or paw wax before walks, and wipe paws when you get home. Wind chill between buildings can be intense, so keep outings shorter for small or thin-coated breeds.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring is one of the best times to explore Central Park, Prospect Park, and the city’s many dog runs as temperatures warm up. Watch for puddles and mud in off-leash areas after rain. Allergy season can affect pets too, so monitor for excessive scratching or sneezing.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

High humidity and hot pavement are the biggest summer hazards for NYC pets. Walk early morning or after sunset, and always carry water. The city’s concrete retains heat, so test the sidewalk with your hand before heading out.

Fall

48°F to 65°F
