About Iris

Iris is settling into her foster home and already showing her gentle, lovable nature. She enjoys spending time with people, brings a playful spirit to the house, and gets along well with other dogs. She’s on the heavier side right now (she doesn't need to know), but her foster is helping her slim down with healthy meals and more walks. Iris was born with an eye defect that limits her vision, but it hasn’t slowed her down—she navigates with confidence and curiosity. Iris is ready for a home where she can soak up attention and share plenty of cuddles. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
