Description:
Meet Iris!

Iris can be unsure of people. It has taken this beautiful girl almost 2 months to adjust to being a "pet" after her life as a stray. She is very affectionate once she warms up to you.

She has had her days out in a kennel and evenings and nights in our house. Iris isn't bothered by cats or other dogs. She just wants companionship from a human.

She finally has allowed herself to get into our bed, but once she does good luck getting her out.

She has never once had an accident in the house.

She doesn't wander when she goes out, and we've never had her on a leash.

She's not to fond of car rides, once she's in, she buries herself between the front seat and back seat on the floor. It seems she feels safe being confined. She loved the companionship of her sister, so another dog might livin' her back up, when they were together, you couldn't separate them.

She doesn't like long objects coming towards her, I.e. a rake or broom, anything like that will make her cower. She used to run in her doghouse when I would clean out her kennel and realized how much I scared her, we would do it at night.

She now eats 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups at night. She is eating hard food, pro plan shredded chicken. Her shyness will offset her, but if you overlook it, and once she adopts you, you will never ask for a better dog.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
