Iris (Acton, Maine) - German Wirehaired Pointer Dog for Adoption in Santa Rosa, California

Iris is two years old spayed, up-to-date on shots, heart worm negative and micro chipped. She was originally picked up by a southern Shelter and then sent to Maine in hopes of finding her the perfect home. She has had a couple failed adoptions. One of them had a cat and another could not meet her exercise needs. This is not Iris's fault.

She needs a family experienced with the breed. She is very sweet and would be great in a family with a male dog of similar size. She is high energy and has a high prey drive. Absolutely no cats no small dogs or other small pets. A family that would like to train her for hunting would be wonderful although she would probably do well in any environment where she had a job. She has done great at the shelter with scent work.
