Iris

My story

Sex: FemaleBreed: German Shepherd Estimated Date of Birth : 05/28/2019A beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. We may never know Iris’ full story but we know enough to fill in the pieces. She hasn’t lived a good life. She was never a dog wanted for the goodness dogs bring but Iris has been resilient and is living proof that her 2nd Chance was worth every penny we’ve spent. This girl is pure love. Love for humans, love for other dogs and yes even love for her kitty friends. She refuses to let her past define what her future may be and we are thankful every day we gave this sweet girl the chance she so desperately needed. Iris was never a loved dog. Her body bore proof that she was used for the puppies and the money those puppies would bring. Old scars lingered around her neck where she’d obviously been tied up and when she did manage to escape her “family” whoever they were never bothered looking for her. Iris sat at the County shelter and because she had significant breaks to her back teeth she couldn’t be adopted by the public. She needed expensive and specialized surgery to remove those teeth and that meant she needed a rescue group to step up. We stepped up just in time when one of our amazing foster families said yes! Iris has gotten the surgery she needs and is now healthy and ready to start looking for that perfect adoptive home. Submissive and just a touch shy she longs for the kindness people can give and she warms up quickly hoping to be on the receiving end of any attention people bring. She’s as sweet as pie and silly and playful too. Shes very food motivated which has made training a breeze, is crate trained and is good on leash during pack walks. Just an all around good girl ready to find her family. She hopes that family is you. Give sweet Iris the chance at the home and family she’s always wanted to have.
