Story
Iris was on death row before she was rescued!!! A note from her foster Mom: Iris a 4 year old, black-brindle pit-terrier mix, and acts like a Queen, because she's all personality and will be your new shadow. I would imagine her to be the BEST emotional support animal for someone struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or sensory issues, as she is a 55 pound weighted dog blanket AND she will also be your 'big spoon' if you lay down on the couch and save even an inch of room for her to scooch behind you (complete with her head resting on yours). See pics Iris understands personal space too. She intently looks at you and listens and brings her quiet love and intensity while she shakes her approving tail at you. You are already her favorite person, no doubt. You'll never wonder if you're loved again, you'll see it in her eyes. She would love to sleep in your bed if you'll let her. But she is also crate trained and treat motivated. She is such a good girl when you give her a bath. She loves peanut butter, and actually, I haven't found a treat or toy she doesn't like, and she's perfectly potty trained. When she meets new people she doesn't jump and bark, she quietly inspects to meet them and then wags her tail. She knows how to 'sit' , knows her name, she can fetch and is good at learning how to bring it back and 'drop-it' but also loves playing tug-of-war. She's full of energy, and can run fast. She gets so excited, she leaps at you to catch her arms, because she loves hugs. Iris gets along well with my three other male dogs but, she is the 'queen on the scene' and makes the boys cow-tow to her. She is the boss and I don't see it working in any other way, in any home. What was supposed to be a 2 week foster has been over a month, Iris and I are getting very attached and the dogs and her are more and more bonded. Unfortunately, I cannot keep her, so it's best to get her into her forever home as soon as possible and I recommend a home where she is the only dominant dog her size or where she is with a smaller dominant dog she will respect barking in her face (like my 15 year old male Pomeranian). She would be a great new friend to a submissive and bored older dog who might want to feel the joy of chasing lizards again. She is an Angel.
