Meet Iris! Iris is a beautiful 2-year-old Basset Hound mix who is looking for a patient and understanding family to help her come out of her shell. She can be nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new places, but with time, patience, and some tasty treats, Iris begins to warm up and show her sweet side. Once she feels comfortable, she loves getting attention and may even jump up to ask for some extra love. Iris is still learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place, and she needs someone willing to give her the time, encouragement, and gentle guidance she needs to build her confidence. Iris will need an adult-only home without children where she can feel safe and comfortable while she continues to gain confidence. If you have a patient heart and are willing to help Iris blossom, she could be the loving companion you’ve been waiting for.
