Iris

Iris is a striking male husky mix with captivating blue eyes and unique heterochromia-one of his eyes even boasts two colors! He is three years old and 67 pounds. His rescue story began one cold winter night when his foster mom was driving. She saw a dog looking homeless and hungry and eating scraps of trash out of a parking lot. It was heartbreaking. She knew right then and there she had to help this poor dog so she rushed home and gathered up fleece blankets and dog food and hoped he would still be there when she went back. He was. He was cautious, but he watched from afar as she placed the blankets and food down for him. She drove away and later came back to find him nestled up in a ball on the fleece blankets. He was so timid and scared, but after hours she earned his trust and took him home. He was immediately grateful and sweet. Now it's time for this sweet boy to find a forever home. Iris is gentle, low energy, loves squeaky toys, and is crate and potty trained. He enjoys being pet and has become a bit of a couch potato. Iris would do best with a family that is patient and understanding and see how much he has blossomed. When he becomes scared, he looks for reassurance. He is very submissive and takes well to any verbal correction. No cats for Iris, he's not a fan but he is dog friendly and shares his home with other dogs. Iris would love to be home snuggled next to you. Age: 3 years Weight: 68 lb Temperament: good with dogs, not yet tested with young kids Training: House trained, crate trained .
