About Iris Darling Love

Meet Iris! This adorable 5-month-old Staffy/Lab mix is a chocolate-colored bundle of love with the squishiest little face, floppy ears, and the sweetest puppy-dog eyes you've ever seen. She has the cutest expression that sometimes looks like a tiny pout, but don't let that fool you – this girl is one of the happiest puppies you'll ever meet. Iris has never met a face she didn't want to kiss. People? Kisses. Dogs? Kisses. Cats? Believe it or not, kisses. If you're looking for a puppy who believes affection is a full-time job, Iris is ready to report for duty. Her biggest goal in life is to love everyone she meets and make sure they know it. She is incredibly affectionate and cuddly, always looking for an opportunity to snuggle. Iris also adores other dogs and has met many with wonderful results. She's wonderfully submissive, playful, and social. One of the cutest things about Iris is how soft-hearted she is. She gets so excited to meet people that she occasionally submissive pees because she's just that happy to make new friends. She approaches the world with a sweet, gentle nature and a heart completely full of love.

Ideal Home

Iris would thrive in a home that enjoys an affectionate, people-oriented puppy. She's active enough to enjoy adventures and playtime, but at the end of the day she'd much rather be curled up next to her favorite people collecting cuddles. While she's done well around cats with supervision, she's still young and would do best with dog-savvy cats who appreciate a curious puppy.

Ongoing Health

Iris is up-to-date on all age-appropriate vetting, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, and flea prevention. She will also receive a 12-month heartworm preventative injection and a heartworm test.

Training & Support

As she continues to grow and learn, Iris will benefit from positive training, structure, and plenty of opportunities to continue building confidence. She is crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained.
