Iris - 12 Week Old Kelpie X

Iris is a gorgeous pup with the sweetest, most loving nature. She is a big sook at heart – gentle, cuddly, and happiest when she is near her people. Being with her family is what matters most to Iris, and she soaks up affection like sunshine.

Iris must be welcomed inside – she is an inside dog who wants to be included as a true family member. Wherever the family goes, Iris wants to be there too, sharing everyday moments, cuddles on the couch, and simply feeling safe and loved she thrives on connection and belongs right in the heart of the home.

With her soft soul, beautiful nature and deep love for her people, Iris will grow into a loyal devoted companion. She is ready to join a family who will welcome her fully – inside their home, into their lives, and forever as one of their own.

Iris loves having a big backyard where she can run and play, enjoys a good game of tug-of-war with her toys and she is the happiest when she is close to her people for cuddles and companionship.

With the right family committed to her training and development, Iris will grow into a loyal, beautiful, and devoted dog.

Iris can use a doggy door, stairs, a ramp and sleeps all night with her siblings.

Iris is in foster care in Cameron Park, NSW. Since she is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney.
