Meet Iris – A Gentle 12-Year-Old Shih Tzu Looking for a Quiet, Loving Home
Iris has been through a lot in the past year. She first lost her mom, and now her dad can no longer care for her. At 12 years old and only 10.5 lbs, this sweet senior girl deserves stability, peace, and a forever home where she can finally feel safe again.
Although she has a sister, Iris does best as the only dog. She’s quiet, calm, and a bit reserved at first—but once she trusts you, she becomes a gentle, loyal little companion who simply enjoys being near her person.
