Matilda is a gentle soul with a soft, sensitive disposition, weighing around 25 lbs and estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old. She can be a bit shy when first introduced to new surroundings, but patience and a calm environment help her feel safe, and her sweetness soon comes forward. Matilda draws her greatest comfort from being with other dogs; the presence of a confident canine companion is truly essential for her. She depends on their support to relax and show her real personality, so her future home must have at least one other dog. Steady reassurance and a calm routine will help Matilda build her confidence over time. For all her shyness, her loyalty runs deep, and once she settles in, she forms a strong bond with her family. Matilda is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. She’s looking for a patient adopter who understands her need for canine friends and time to blossom. She’s in Red Hook, NY.
