About Iris

Meet Iris, a playful spirit with big ears and even bigger back feet. She roamed the streets for a while, but she’s put her days as a stray behind her and is looking for stability. Iris is a Pit Bull mix—about 5 or 6 years old and around 50 pounds of personality. There’s a social side to her that’s hard to ignore: she gets along easily with both adults and kids. Her tail is always wagging, and she greets everyone with bright, eager eyes. She walks well on a leash and lights up at the sight of another friendly dog, though she’d likely do best as the only dog in the home since she can be selective with her canine company. Iris is house trained, playful, and has picked up the art of being gentle. She’s been spayed and her vaccinations are current, so all the basics are covered. At the end of the day, she wants a place to nap and people to love her—in Hot Springs, AR, she’s just waiting for her shot at a soft couch. Your new best friend is just one click away.
