Iris

Description

Iris may not hand out her heart to everyone she meets—but once you’ve earned it,prepare to have a permanent little lap warmer. ❤️ This sweet terrier girl likes to take a little time to get to know new people and make sure they’re worthy of her affection. She might have a few things to say about you at first (she is a terrier, after all ), but once Iris decides you’re a friend, that cautious little exterior melts away and out comes an affectionate, devoted girl who wants nothing more than to be close to you. And when we say close, we mean your lap is now her lap. Iris absolutely loves affection from the people she trusts and forms incredibly special bonds with them. She’s the kind of dog who makes being chosen feel like an honor because when this girl loves you, she really loves you. She’s also wonderful with other dogs and gains confidence and comfort from having canine friends around. We would love to see Iris in a home with at least one friendly dog who can be her companion and help show her that everything is going to be okay. Iris appreciates a calmer environment where she can settle in at her own pace, so an adult home without children would be the best fit. She’ll also need a family willing to spend a little extra time getting to know her through multiple meet-and-greets before adoption. For Iris, friendship starts with trust—and once that foundation is there, you get to discover the incredibly loving little dog underneath.
