Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Adoption Fee: $200. Meet Iris! This sweet Basset/Lab mix came to Safe Haven as an owner surrender alongside her sister, Nika, after their family experienced some unfortunate circumstances and could no longer care for them. Their lives changed quite suddenly when they arrived at the shelter, so it’s understandable that Iris can be a little nervous and unsure at first. She just needs a little time, patience, and reassurance to adjust to all the changes around her. Once Iris begins to feel safe and comfortable, her incredibly sweet personality starts to shine through. Iris truly is a loving girl who is looking for someone willing to give her the time she needs to decompress and show them who she really is. Iris and Nika can be adopted together if the perfect family comes along for both of them, but their previous family let us know they can also be adopted separately. Whether she finds a home with her sister or begins a new chapter on her own, Iris deserves a patient and loving family who will help her regain her confidence and remind her that good things are still ahead.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Bassetdor, a delightful cross between the Basset Hound and the Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity for its unique blend of traits. Originating from the desire to combine the Basset's laid-back nature with the Lab's trainability and friendliness, this medium-sized dog typically inherits the Basset's characteristic long ears and short legs, often paired with the Lab's athletic build and expressive eyes. Their coat can vary in color and texture, often reflecting the common hues of both parent breeds. Temperamentally, Bassetdors are known for being affectionate, loyal, and generally good-natured, making them excellent family pets. While adaptable, their moderate energy levels mean they thrive with regular exercise and may not be ideally suited for very small apartments without sufficient outdoor activity. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health concerns inherited from both sides, such as hip and elbow dysplasia from the Labrador and disc issues or ear infections common to the Basset Hound.
