Iris's Story

Iris will be ready for her new home soon! She came to us with her newborn puppies and has been an exceptional mama. Her babies are now thriving and preparing for their own homes. She will be ready to start her next chapter soon, too. She is up to date on vaccines, has been dewormed, and is microchipped. If her recovery timeline allows and she remains with us long enough post‑birth, Iris will be spayed before adoption. If not, we will work closely with her adopter to ensure her spay surgery is scheduled as soon as her body is ready.<br/><br/>Iris came from a pretty bad situation, but she has done very well since coming to Homes Fur Hounds. She is about 6 years old and weighs roughly 15 pounds. Our best guess on her breed mix is Chihuahua/Dachshund—also known as a Chiweenie! She’s doing wonderfully with housebreaking and has great manners overall. Iris is very friendly with everyone she meets and gets along well with dogs her own size. Large dogs can make her a bit shy at first, but as long as they’re friendly, she warms up quickly. She’s also kitty‑curious. In her foster home, she’s given the cats a playful chase, but after one well‑placed swat, she wisely decided retreat was the better option.<br/><br/>This sweet girl is SMART and loves cuddling and happily sleeps in her foster mom’s bed each night. She’s a good eater, sleeps through the night, and is generally a very easy companion. This gal also LOVES to sit in the sun and relax. A sunny window or yard is a must to keep this gal happy!!!<br/><br/>Now for a couple of important (and slightly impressive) quirks: Iris is an exceptional climber. If a gate or fence is under four feet tall, she can scale it—watching this pint‑sized pup climb is truly something to see! She’s also an enthusiastic digger. If there’s a mole in your yard… consider both the mole and the lawn on borrowed time. She is determined and relentless!<br/><br/>Iris is a sweet, funny, and spirited girl who adds both joy and a little sass to her world. While she has her playful moments, she’s mostly a chill pup who’s ready to settle into a relaxed, cozy lifestyle. Applications can be found on our website – www.homesfurhounds.org

Homes Fur Hounds, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Once you have identified the dog(s) you are interested in meeting, you must submit an Adoption Application. You can find the application at https://www.homesfurhounds.org 2. Be patient. We occasionally have a high volume of applications, especially on puppies. 3. If your application is approved you will be contacted to arrange a meet and greet with the dog(s) you are interested in meeting. Whenever we have more than one applicant who is approved, we set up the meet and greet in the order in which the applications were received. 4. We are a small rescue group and do require home checks. Therefore, we only adopt to VA, NC and MD. Exceptions are made for medically needy or seniors if no qualified applicant is located in our adoption area. 5. We do keep applications on file for 6 months, so even if you aren’t selected for a particular dog, if you see another dog of interest, let us know and we will consider your application at that time. 6. Please don’t be offended if you are not selected to adopt. We try to match the dog with the BEST home for them. Just because you weren’t selected for a specific dog does not mean you can’t apply for another one. 7. Our adoption fee is $300.00.
