Iris - 4 year old female Jack X Shih Tzu

Iris, Jack X Shih Tzu, DOB 10.07 – Farnham, Surrey


Homing Requirements: Iris needs a terrier home who are happy to offer her the love and attention she so responds to. She is Jack Russell first and Shih Tzu second. Proven with young children. Care over her recall; off-lead only in safe areas and after settlement/bonding afterall she is a terrier!

Her Story: Iris was found stray in Wales in a dreadful state, needing emergency grooming and the shaving off of her coat. We took her in to kennels but she wasn’t well so she went into foster with small furries, cats and another dogs. She won through but her fosterer offered her skills in settling her with her many animals. Homed for 2 years as an only dog but due to a change in family circumstances she has come back to us.

Advert: Iris is the sparkle in our eyes! In her 4 years she hasn't had the stability she should. She finds herself in boarding kennels for the second time, yet a sweeter dog you couldn't wish to meet. She isn't a 'non dog' but has lots of bounce and character. Her housetraining is fine with attention especially if it is raining outside! We suspect she started out in life in a flat or being left long periods hence her toilet training was fragile if left long periods or without free access to a garden. She loves toys and play. She meets dogs well and is keen on her lead but manageable. Proven with very young children.

Iris is such a pretty Jack Russell cross. She needs regular glooming and would love to be pampered. She needs a good quality diet with a regular routine to build her skills and support her settling. She could easily be at the heart of a family but needs a family with heart and for her to be the centre of their universe.
