Iris

Meet Iris, a ten-month-old Lab/Dane mix weighing over 60 pounds.<br/><br/>Iris is a big, happy goofball with a sweet personality and an adorable smile that’s sure to make you laugh. She’s friendly and enjoys being around people, but she’s still learning about some of the basics — especially walking on a leash.<br/><br/>Leashes seem to be very new and a little scary for Iris right now, so she will need a patient adopter willing to help her build confidence and learn at her own pace. A harness may help her feel more secure as she adjusts and discovers that walks can be fun.<br/><br/>Despite her uncertainty with the leash, Iris has a joyful spirit and a loving nature that shine through. With some guidance, encouragement, and consistency, this goofy girl is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.<br/><br/>This pet is available for adoption on 5/25/2026 1:43 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
