About Matilda

Matilda is a confident, energetic English Bulldog who brings all the charm of her breed. At nearly 3 years old and already spayed, she is healthy, compact, and forms strong bonds with her people. Her loyalty and affection shine with humans of all ages, and she especially loves a family setting—though she must have one built just for her. While she’s terrific with older children, she is not able to coexist with other animals. Matilda chases cats and has ongoing conflicts with other dogs, so she is strictly for homes with no other pets. Due to her energy and temperament, Matilda will only be placed with children age 9 or older, and she needs to be the only dog in the household. She will thrive in a home that can give her the attention, boundaries, and one-on-one companionship she craves. Matilda’s new family must be prepared to meet her very specific requirements—but the reward is an incredibly loyal and entertaining companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
