All About IRis

  Iris is a little bundle of joy who arrived at Lucky Bulldogs after being retired from the commercial dog breeding industry. She is a sweet gal who will be your furever friend. If “Velcro dog” has a nice ring to it, then Iris might be the one for you. Even though she’s still learning the ropes of life as a pet, Iris definitely prefers snuggles over anything else and has an adorable little bounce in her step. She has been very good with other dogs, including an English bulldog and a lab. 

As she continues to find her courage, Iris is working through some separation anxiety. With that said, crating is not her cup of tea. Travel can be a bit challenging if Iris is not able to see or be near you. (She does fine in the back seat of a car if she can lean forward, in between the arm rests.) She is still mastering going down steps (coming up is a breeze), as well as potty training, but improving every day.

Iris had some really crusty ears when she arrived at the rescue, but they are responding well to treatment and her future owners should be willing to maintain good ear hygiene to prevent future ear infections.

If you choose to welcome this little love nugget into your life, you won’t be disappointed. She warms the heart!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
