Iris's Story

Meet Iris! <br/><br/>Iris is a wonderful 10-year-old girl with the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. She loves spending her days soaking up the sunshine, taking long naps, and enjoying a stuffed Kong filled with her favorite treats. While she's always up for exploring and trying new things, she's just as content curling up on the couch for a cozy cuddle session with her favorite people.<br/><br/>Iris has a quirky, lovable personality that makes her truly special. She's affectionate, loyal, and forms strong bonds with her family. Despite being a senior, she still enjoys playing and spending time with both people and other animals. She also knows basic commands, making her a well-mannered companion who enjoys interacting with her humans.<br/><br/>Because Iris has been bitten by other dogs in the past, she can be cautious when meeting new dogs, particularly older female dogs. She may initially display dominant behaviors, but with proper introductions, patience, and time to acclimate, she settles in well and can build positive relationships. Once comfortable, she loves playing and relaxing alongside her animal friends.<br/><br/>Whether she's basking in a sunny spot, working on a favorite Kong, going on an adventure, or snuggling up with her people, Iris is happiest being part of the family. If you're looking for a loving, loyal companion with plenty of personality, Iris is ready to steal your heart.
