About Iris
Hi. I am Iris and I am a gentle mix of sweet cuddles and quiet independence.
When you first meet me I might seem a little shy. New people and busy moments can feel a bit overwhelming at the start. But give me a little time and I will be coming over for cuddles before you know it. Once I trust you I really lean in and soak up the love.
I get along well with other dogs and enjoy their company, though I am also perfectly happy being an only pet. I am quite content in my own space and do not need constant company from other animals. Cats are something I have not been tested with yet so that part is still an unknown.
I spend my days outside enjoying the fresh air and watching the world go by. At night I am flexible and can sleep either outside or inside depending on the weather. I am used to being home alone for a couple of hours and handle that just fine.
Children are lovely to me. I can be a little unsure at first but I warm up quickly and once I feel safe I am all about the cuddles. I think I would do well with children who understand giving me a moment to settle in.
I am polite with my toileting and will happily go out on the grass. On the lead I am still learning and sometimes like to act as though I am walking myself. I am getting better each time and there are no behavioural concerns when I am out and about.
I know how to sit and wait and I am easy to train with a bit of patience and consistency. I enjoy learning and respond well to encouragement. At the vet I am very well behaved and absolutely love the attention and treats.
I can be vocal when I am playing but otherwise I am fairly quiet. Energy wise I am a nice balance. I enjoy play time and fun but I also value my downtime and alone moments.
My favourite toys are anything that squeaks and I have a special love for playing with ice cubes. Food wise I currently enjoy biscuits and chicken mince.
There are no health or behavioural concerns with me. I am simply a sweet girl who enjoys affection just as much as she enjoys her own space.
I am Iris. Gentle loving and quietly confident. If you are looking for a companion who will happily share cuddles and also respect her own calm moments I think we could be a really lovely match.

Please ensure all corresponding documentation, such as vet work for existing animals & lease agreements are provided with the completed application to avoid any delays
Applications are not approved on a first in, best dressed basis, rather we will assess on your suitability. Should we believe that the animal you have applied for may not suit your home or lifestyle, we will work with you until we find your perfect match.
Upon approval of your application, we will pass your contact details onto the carer and they will liaise with you to arrange a meet & handover. Prior to the handover, an adoption contract will be emailed to you along with copies of vet work & our bank details. The signed adoption agreement & payment of the adoption fee is required prior to the animal leaving with you. We offer a two-week trial period, and the full adoption fee, minus an administration fee will be refundable if the adoption is cancelled within those two weeks.
