About Matilida Kh

Matilda is a wire-haired terrier mix with a soft spot for cuddles and a quick bond with her people. Around 3 years old, she thrives in a home where someone is around most of the day—perfect for anyone who works from home or enjoys being present during the week. She soaks up affection and returns it in kind, always eager to be near those she trusts. Matilda's social record is impressive: she’s friendly with kids, cats, and dogs of varying sizes. With other dogs, she prefers those who respect her space, as overly forward canine friends can sometimes overwhelm her. Crate time at night is a breeze for Matilda, but during the day she’s likely to make her presence known if she’d rather be in on the action with you. This affectionate girl isn’t yet fully housetrained, but she's crate trained and soaks up love and attention. She’s waiting for a family in Austin, TX—and if you believe in astrology, Matilda is a Scorpio, which explains her mix of affection and independence. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
