Iris is available for adoption.. She is 7 months old and weighs 3.5 lbs, she will probably be a tiny girl. Her adoption fee is $750.00. UPDATE: Iris had another visit with the Opthamologist, her eyes look healthy and her right eye is improving with medication, therefore she will need ointment morning and evening everyday in that eye. The left eye is still not making tears, there are other combinations and new medications still to try but for now she will need medication applied to her eye 5 times a day and then extra lubrication in between, so this would be every 2-3 waking hours. Iris is available for adoption to someone who can currently provide this kind of care for her eyes. This may change in the future but not for a few months until we can find the right medication to make her produce her own tears. If this does not work then she will still need ointment applied every 2-3 hours during the day to keep her left eye healthy. She goes back to the doctor in 2 weeks to see if this new combination is working. Iris is a very friendly and curious little girl who doesn't sit still for a minute! She is a puppy...with all the excitement and mischeviousness that goes with a puppy's exploration of her brave new world. Iris will be available for adoption in about a month. She has dry eyes and will need the next four weeks to see if medication can stimulate her tear production. Iris had her first grooming done and did very well. She had her spay along with 7 baby teeth extracted so that her brand new permanent teeth will come in straight and sound. Iris has made herself at home in the last 2 1/2 weeks. She loves her toys and is a sweet but a mischievous little puppy. She can go up wooden stairs but doesn't try going down (yet)! She currently gets eye lubrication every two hours, we are hoping this changes and will know in a week or so. She loves playing with her 7 pound Foster sister Mia but is scared of larger dogs. She has never been around cats. I think families with children 13 and up would be best as Iris is always running around underfoot! She arrived in rescue on St. Patty's Day so we think she is a very lucky little girl!!! Put in your application today. Iris will be available for adoption soon. She is vacationing in South Salem, NY, with Robyn and her family.

Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult.
