They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Iris will be ready for her new home soon! She arrived with her newborn puppies, proving herself to be an exceptional mama. Now, her babies are thriving, and Iris is also preparing for her fresh start. She’s up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped, with plans for her to be spayed before adoption or shortly after in partnership with her future family. After overcoming a tough beginning, Iris has blossomed in foster care. She’s estimated to be around six years old and weighs approximately 15 pounds. Thought to be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix—often called a Chiweenie—she has wonderful house manners and is making great strides with housebreaking. Iris is a social butterfly: friendly with everyone she meets and gets along well with similar-sized dogs. She’s a bit shy with bigger dogs at first but quickly warms up if they are friendly. Iris is curious about cats; after playful chases and a quick lesson, she now gives them their space. This clever girl loves to cuddle and enjoys sleeping right next to her foster mom each night. She’s a relaxed companion who loves basking in sunny spots, whether by a window or in the yard—having a sun-filled resting place will make her day! Iris also has a few delightful quirks: she’s an impressive climber, able to scale any gate or fence under four feet, and a determined digger who will keep any yard mole population in check! Overall, Iris is a loving, spirited, and occasionally sassy dog who will bring plenty of happiness and charm to a cozy home. While she has fun, playful spurts, she mostly prefers a laid-back lifestyle. Fun fact: with a birthday on May 1st, Iris is a Taurus—known for their love of comfort and sunny spots, which fits her perfectly! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
