Iris - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Iris is a champion cuddler/snuggler. She wants to be as close as she can to her human. Sleeping is a favorite activity and we acknolwedge that it is legitimate past-time! She is not very interested in toys, but who knows, she may change her mind if you find her the right toy.

She takes treats gently and she also listens to commands when there are no distractions around. Training with her is fun. We have been working on “come” and “leave it”. She is very proficient in: sit, stay, shake, lay down and kennel. We are currently working on backup, leave and come.

She is obsessed with the idea of the cat. The cat has learned some survival tactics though which has been good. She also be an only dog as she doesn't understand how to have dog friends. She is potty trained and does well in the heavy duty kennel and seems to now enjoy her kennel. She loves her pillows and blankets and can be trusted with them in her kennel.

Overall a very sweet girl with tons of potential!
