My story

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

This dog's fosterhome is located in:
****Lockport, New York****

Iris has been adopted! -- Please look at our other Rat Terriers awaiting homes!

Iris received her name as she is a tiny little beautiful flower that came from a puppymill along with several of her siblings, but has since come to learn trust and human affection. She appears older than she is due to poor nutrition in her previous habitation. Our vets estimate her to be 3-4 years old. She is just a tiny little bug - around 8 pounds, but could use a solid pound or so to fill out. She is crate trained and uses a doggie door in her foster home with still just a few accidents. She has begun to initate play with her foster siblings, to show her cute sassy little personality. She loves cuddling. We think she would be great in a household with other dogs and children over 8 as she can be a tiny bit skittish sometimes, but is really getting over this quickly. We do not know how she would interact with cats, but she should be just fine. She is just sweet as pie and deserves to have a stable loving home to call her own forever. She will bring a smile to your house and heart, guaranteed!
