Iris

Iris is a 3.5-year-old Shepherd / Black Mouth Cur mix who is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. She's a goofy, playful, affectionate, and genuinely sweet girl who loves to fetch tennis balls. Iris is a loyal companion who, once she trusts you, is all in. She's obedient, knows sit, down, and wait, and is a big fan of belly rubs. Iris is also fully potty trained and crate trained, considering her crate her sanctuary. She can free roam the house without issue if she's the only dog. Iris is a moderate energy dog who enjoys walks but is equally happy relaxing by your side.

Ideal Home

Iris would thrive in a quieter environment, away from the chaos of city streets, possibly with access to trails or open spaces. She would be a dream for someone working from home. Iris is best suited for an adult-only home. She is dog selective and does best with slow, intentional introductions.

Ongoing Health
