About Iridessa

Iridessa, affectionately known as "Lassie", is a delightful one-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who weighs thirty pounds. Since arriving from Texas, she's made noticeable progress despite her shy nature. Although still getting accustomed to life with humans, she's discovering just how wonderful people can be. House trained and enjoying her crate, Iridessa has learned to settle on her bed and navigate stairs independently. She does well around other dogs but finds the bustling city sounds a bit intimidating, so she’ll need to stay securely leashed during outings. She’s still learning to respond to her name, but her foster has noticed that "Lassie" catches her attention best. Ideally, Iridessa would thrive in a calm, quiet home with a patient adopter who can help her build trust at her own pace, celebrating each small achievement together.
