About Matilda

Meet Matilda, affectionately known as Tilly! This tiny, low-energy Poodle mix is a delightful bundle of love, always eager to share her sunny disposition and share cozy moments with her humans. Tilly loves following her people from room to room like a loyal little shadow, thriving on affection and cuddles. Though she can be a tad shy at first, especially around new faces, Tilly warms up quickly with some treats and a bit of attention. She's fantastic with other dogs, getting along well with a variety of personalities. Cats don’t faze her either—she mostly ignores them but shows curiosity now and then. Matilda is mostly potty trained and thrives on a consistent routine. She adores her crate, which she uses as a personal sanctuary for naps or when the world feels a little overwhelming. Leash walks are still a work in progress for Tilly, as she tends to pull a little, but she responds well to gentle redirection. Tilly takes her job as the neighborhood watch dog very seriously, alerting everyone to doorbells and outside visitors. Her penchant for fresh food makes her a special eater, currently enjoying Just Food For Dogs. If you're looking for a cuddle buddy who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle with occasional playful moments and always has kisses to give, Matilda might just be your perfect match. What are you waiting for?
