About Matilda Queen of

Meet Matilda, the energetic and playful Queen of zoomies! This 2-year-old mixed breed, a fun blend of Chinese Crested and Chihuahua, hails from Houston, TX. Weighing in at just 12 pounds, she's a pocket-sized bundle of joy. Matilda absolutely loves to run and play, and she needs a fenced-in yard for her daily zoomies. She’s been showing promise in agility training once she gains more confidence. Matilda adores sunbathing, stretching her long body out in the grass to catch some rays or take a little nap. Though new to the family life, she thrives in an adult-only home where her human is around often. It does take her time to warm up to new people, so patience is essential. She would greatly benefit from having another dog in her new home as they help guide her and boost her confidence. While she gets along well with other dogs, Matilda is still figuring out how she feels about cats and kids, particularly young ones. On the flip side, she loves cheese and freeze-dried liver treats, and she's recently discovered the joys of sleeping with her foster mom. She sometimes steals clothes and shoes just for their comforting scent. Although Matilda's potty manners are generally good, she may need a bit of time to adjust. This loving canine has known a rough past but is ready for a permanent family that can show her the affection she craves.
