About this Dog
Name: Iris Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 11 weeks old (as of 3/20/25) Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd Mix Weight: About 10-15 lbs (as of 3/20/25) Lives With: Dogs, cats and people (including kids!)! Housebroken? Not yet, she’s just a puppy and started working on her potty training! Story: Iris was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Iris is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Iris is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Iris will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Iris is a smart, affectionate young pup and is about as sweet as they come! She sleeps through the night in her crate, loves her meals, and is eager to please—especially when treats are involved! Iris is making great progress with potty training and already knows to do her business outside (just a few more accident-free days to go!). She enjoys strolls and is getting the hang of destination walks on the leash. Whether she’s chewing on a favorite toy, playing with her canine pals, or just soaking up the household hustle, Iris fits right in. She has experienced both city and country living and adapts well to new environments. If you are looking for a loving, food-motivated, and adaptable companion, Iris might be your perfect match! The fee to adopt Iris is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Iris has been seen by a shelter vet and was given a clean bill of health. If you think that Iris might be your perfect match, apply today!

Adopt IRIS and Receive IRIS's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, IRIS's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is IRIS's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the IRIS, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming IRIS's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and IRIS was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, IRIS’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the IRIS’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, IRIS’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
