Looking for 125 pounds of love, sass, and snack ambition? Meet Iris …our big, beautiful, foodie who’s equal parts goofball and sweetheart. 🐾
She had people lined up for her once.
Now… no one. 😭I mean, who could resist that face, those eyes, and all her big, happy energy? But somewhere along the line, people vanished like smoke in the wind .. and it’s been breaking her big gorgeous heart ever since.💔
She spends her days running and playing in McKinley’s play yard and has slimming down a bit (she could stand to lose a few pounds so no worries there) but I think Miss Dramatic over here believes she’s starving to literal death 🤦♀️
She’s a total attention hog (and did we mention food hog… but we’re not judging). Honestly, it’s part of her charm. Just maybe don’t leave that sandwich unattended…Iris considers all unattended food “community property.” 😅🤷🏻♀️
When she’s excited, she’s bouncy…like, “I just saw my best friend after a year” kind of bouncy. And yes, she can pull like a freight train on a leash when she’s ready to go. But once she settles, she’s all about soaking up love and snuggles.
We were told she’s been around cats before… but here’s the thing: we’ve been in rescue long enough to know that “good with cats” is not a guarantee. (Let’s just say some “cat-friendly” pups have had sudden... “playful” mishaps) So, best to proceed with caution and we here at Decator's Place/Mid Missouri Malamute Rescue will NEVER guarantee any pup to be cat friendly 🐈
Iris really is the total package…beautiful, affectionate, hilarious, and loyal. She just needs her person…someone who’ll laugh at her quirks, keep an eye on their dinner plate, and love her as much as she’ll love them (which is a lot).
Please don’t let her keep waiting. This girl’s got too much love to give to spend her life watching others come and go. Please tell her someone out there still wants her. 💔
