About Iris

Meet Iris, a charming husky mix who embodies resilience and love. At 2 years old and weighing about 47 lbs, Iris's journey began in heartbreaking circumstances. Despite being tied outside and neglected, she remains eager to connect and find her forever home. With one icy blue eye and one warm brown eye, Iris mesmerizes everyone she meets. Her spirited personality shines through; she’s smart, playful, and just a little stubborn in that endearing way huskies are known for. After completing a 2-week board-and-train program, she learned vital commands like sit, down, stay, and heel. She's fully crate trained, housebroken, and loves playing fetch and snuggling with her stuffies. Iris is dog-friendly and thrives in a lively environment, so a home with another confident dog would suit her best. She does well with her play style, which is energetic and enthusiastic. However, no kids for now; she's still perfecting her excitement control. A fenced-in yard is essential to keep up with her zoomies. After overcoming so much, Iris is ready for snuggles, trust, and love. Could you be the one to show her what forever feels like? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
