Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Batesville, Arkansas

Name: Iris
Breed: Terrier/Lab Mix
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: 3/28/26

Iris brings color to everything she touches — and this little Terrier/Lab mix girl is just getting started painting her world one wagging tail and sloppy kiss at a time. Born in late March 2026, Iris is in the thick of that glorious puppy phase where everything is exciting, everyone is a potential best friend, and life is simply one big, beautiful adventure.

Iris gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a fantastic match for all kinds of households. She’s got that irresistible puppy energy — equal parts playful and snuggly, with just enough mischief sprinkled in to keep things entertaining. Her Lab side brings a natural sweetness and love of people, while her terrier genes add a bright, inquisitive spark that makes her an absolute joy to watch as she takes in the world around her.

Terrier/Lab mixes are lively, loving, and incredibly smart — the kind of dogs who thrive with early training, engaging activities, and a family who’s ready to match their enthusiasm. Iris is young enough that you get to be there for all of it — the first commands, the first fetch, the first time she figures out the couch is the best spot in the house. She’s ready to add a little color to your life, and something tells us you won’t ever want it any other way.
