My name is Iris and Niles!

Niles and Iris are the cutest little Chihuahua mixes! They are a very resilient pair that are learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. We are so proud of the quick progress that they have made, which has been in a big part thanks to having one another! They have each helped the other become more trusting of people and more brave of the outside world. Even though they did not know each other before coming to the shelter, they have created an undeniable bond and we are now looking to send them home together!

Once they come out of their shells they are such big LOVES! Niles is always seeking out affection now, looking for pets and belly rubs. Iris comes and pops up on your knee looking for some love and giving her adorable “love nibbles” and licks to your fingers. She almost gives too many kisses, she is so affectionate.

Both pups had no idea how to walk on leash before coming to the shelter, it was clear they had just never done it before. Niles now leads the walk, always so excited to go out and explore. He tries to “walk” the other pups in the office as we’re getting all leashed up for the walk. It is beyond adorable. Iris is a great walker, but is not one to lead the charge so to speak.

When they go home, they will need lots of patience, as they will slide back a bit and be nervous in a new environment. However, with how quickly they came around to us at the shelter, they will be showing their goofy and lovable personalities in no time!
