Iris

ADOPTED!

Hi there, I’m Iris 🌸

I’m a 3-year-old Labrador, about 90 pounds of pure love and wiggles. I’m happiest when I’m close to my people—When you step out, I sometimes snooze by the window waiting for you, or I’ll nap quietly until you’re back.

I love exploring the backyard on my own, sniffing around, rolling in the grass, or just listening to the neighbourhood. When I hear my name, I trot inside right away with a happy tail. I’ve learned that “Iris” means good things—especially eye contact, attention, and sometimes… treats! Speaking of treats, I’ll do just about anything for liver snacks (or any snacks, really).

I’m a big fan of walks—our morning adventure is usually 45 minutes, and I’m always ready for more. In the afternoons, I enjoy shorter strolls, greeting people and dogs along the way. I walk nicely in my harness, and I already know my basics like sit, down, and come.

At night, I’m easygoing. I start out on a comfy dog bed downstairs but sometimes wander up in the middle of the night to claim a spot on another dog bed upstairs. I’ve decided that’s my special room!

I can be a little silly too—I adore carrying around my stuffed sheep (sometimes even bringing it on walks!). I’m also trying out toys like nylabones and will be testing a new Kong soon.

I’m affectionate and love being close, sometimes even trying to climb into a lap. But I’m also learning boundaries with cues like “off” and “lie down.”

In short, I’m joyful, loving, playful, and ready to share my big heart with a forever family. Could that be you?

 ❤️

Love Iris
