In partnership with the SPCA of Texas, NewsRadio 1080 KRLD brings you 'Adoptable Pet Pals,' a weekly feature to introduce you to animals that are ready for adoption.
KRLD's Kristin Diaz along with Maura Davies from the SPCA highlights the critical need for adopting families at local animal shelters by showcasing an "Adoptable Pet Pal" that has stayed at the shelter too long.
Meet this week's featured Pet Pal Iris!
Meet Iris, the 1-year-old female mixed breed with a wiggly, waggy body that radiates playfulness. Her medium-sized frame and golden fur add to her irresistible charm. Iris's boundless joy is evident through her constant tail wagging and the perpetual smile on her face.
Playing is her passion, and she's always up for chasing toys or joining in games of fetch. Her intelligence and eagerness to please make training a breeze, and her loyalty and affection make her the ideal family companion. Iris's gentle and nurturing nature extends to offering comfort and snuggles to those in need. If you seek a spirited, loving, and fun-loving furry friend, Iris is the one to bring joy and laughter to your life.
She is housed at the SPCA of Texas’ Dallas Animal Care Center, so come on down seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. to meet her. https://spca.org/adoptable/iris/
