My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

(05/16/2023) Iris is Grade A, top tier snuggler! If you are down to scratch, she'll be your best friend FOREVER! She loves snuggling in a good lap and will stop whatever she is doing to come running if you call her name...just in case it is time for a little L-O-V-E!



Iris is a social butterfly who adores everyone she meets. She's already working on perfecting her leash manners, but as a puppy, she'll need ongoing practice to grow into a well-behaved doggo. So take her out for walks, run errands together, and watch as she captures the hearts of both friends and strangers. But wait, there's more! Iris absolutely craves the company of another four-legged friend, as playing without a furry playmate would leave her feeling lonely and bored. So do you have another playful dog that is just dying for another furry-friend, then Iris may be the girl for you!



This sweet little girl aims to please her humans and is incredibly intelligent. She easily follows the lead of the other dogs and is always eager to learn. Iris is a playful ball of energy, but also holds a bit of a submissive side. She's on the hunt for a loving and nurturing family who understands that training a puppy takes patience and time. As long as you break the lessons into short, fun intervals, Iris is all ears! And did we mention she's food-motivated? That means positive reinforcement training will be a breeze.



A fenced yard is exactly what Iris desires, giving her the space to play and explore to her heart's content before coming in for a well-deserved nap in her cozy crate. So with toys and treats, Iris is ready to put her little listening ears on and begin her early "childhood education!!" This little sweetheart loves to keeps the fun rolling by chewing and tossing her toys like a pro. With Iris by your side, each day is guaranteed to be filled with happiness and laughter. And when she's all tuckered out, get ready for some serious snuggle sessions!



As part of Iris’s $325 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.   If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Iris, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
