**FENCE REQUIRED **

Meet Iris!

Iris is a goofy, beautiful, affectionate dane girl who will have you wrapped around her finger in no time at all.. 

Shes 7 months old and all clumsy, loving puppy.  She is one of the six puppies we pulled from an outdoor life in Chipley.

Iris is now living in a foster home with three male Danes - two seniors and a juvie - and she and the juvie boy love to romp and play while the elders watch them from stop their thrones on the couch. 

Training, especially potty training, is a work in progress with Iris, of course, but she is so smart that she learns very quickly. We’ve learned frequent outside trips help. She takes her cues from the other dogs a lot and follows their lead. She might be a little stubborn, too, (she’s a Great Dane..) so sometimes she needs encouragement to apply what she learned. 

Everything is new to Iris and her excitement when she discovers anything is contagious. She exudes joy and playfulness over a leaf or a toy or a treat. 

She walks on a leash, but needs more training, of course. Shes better on car rides but still afraid to get in the car. She knows sit, come, and down. Shes crate trained but will complain about it for awhile, so giving her high prize treats and bones to chew on helps. 

Iris is smart… She just wants to play and chew a lot. She’s a typical puppy, she needs stimulation. She loves to dig when she is bored, so best to have a playmate for her! 

She’s so sweet once she trusts you, she gives little flea bites (nibbles on your arm) to show you she loves you. Although Iris may be initially frightened of almost everyone and everything at first, with just a little patience and reassurance she quickly adjusts to any situation. She is friendly with other dogs, ignores cats, and seems to like everyone. She really is a gentle soul. 

She hasnt really been around children but she loves to watch them through the fence.. I am sure she would be great with them, although she has no idea how big she is. 

Iris would be a good fit for any family who has the patience to continue her training and help her learn. Her difficult start in life has not affected her loving nature. Iris needs the guidance and companionship of another large breed dog for companionship and guidance, to help her cope. She adjusts so much faster with another dog. She really needs to go to a home with a canine playmate. She’s never been without other dogs around. 

Hurry, though. A girl this precious and beautiful wont wait long.

Iris is spayed, utd on all shots and in general good health! Could you be the family to give her a second chance in a loving home!?
