🌟 Meet Iris, the darling Maltese-Yorkie mix who has a heart full of potential just waiting to shine! This sweet girl is a little shy and soft-spoken—kind of like that gentle breeze that wraps around you on a warm summer day. 🌬️💖 She may need a moment to warm up to new faces, but oh my goodness, when she does, her affectionate side bursts forth like a beautiful flower opening to the sun! 🌸 Now, it's essential to understand that Iris thrives in the company of a confident, well-established dog who can guide her through the nuances of the world. Think of their friendship as the ultimate buddy system—where her canine companion shows her the ropes on how to navigate new situations. 🐾 So if there's already a furry friend in your home, you might just find that Iris will hit it off with them and grow in confidence together! Iris is on the lookout for a patient and loving adopter who understands that building trust and confidence takes time. It's like crafting a masterpiece; a little brushstroke here and there, a bit of encouragement, and suddenly, you've got a work of art! 🖼️ With the right combination of love and understanding, Iris could transform into a devoted and affectionate companion—ready to share her cuddly kisses and warm snuggles with you! 😽💕 Remember that many of our dogs, including Iris, may have had limited socialization before finding their way to the rescue. That's why adopting her not only changes her life, but it will also be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for you as well! Older kids often mesh well with our lovable pups, and younger children may be considered based on each dog's needs. Just keep in mind, house training and leash walking might take a bit more practice—but with gentle encouragement, most of these dear dogs adapt quite quickly. Isn't it time to bring a bit of joy like Iris into your life? 🐶💕 If you feel a connection with this lovely lady, don't hesitate! Apply to adopt Iris through the Buddy App today! 🥳
