Her sister was adopted leaving Iris in danger of being put down, until a hero swooped in and saved her. Iris is a very sweet girl who loves playing with other dogs but she doesn't like dogs who get in her face. She will correct them if they do but after she corrects them, I tell her no and get the dog away from her. She is a very smart girl who knows how to open a dog crate door! She loves going on walks, buffalo cheek rolls to chew on, playing and swimming in the water. She's been around kids and adores older kids. She does sleep in a crate at night and she is house trained. Iris is looking for a new home that will share in all the hobbies that she enjoys!!
