About Matilda

Meet Matilda, affectionately known as Tilly! This charming little Poodle mix is 5 years old and has a delightful personality that shines through her soft demeanor. Tilly loves to cuddle and always prefers being near her people, following them from room to room. She's affectionate and thrives on attention, showcasing her playful side with gentle kisses. While she can feel shy around new people at first, she warms up with a few treats and kind words. Just give her a bit of time to adjust. Tilly is fantastic around other dogs and coexists peacefully with both playful pups and calm seniors. She’s also good with cats, showing curiosity without stepping on their toes. Her potty training is mostly solid, needing just a consistent routine, and she loves her crate as a personal haven. Short walks in the neighborhood excite her, although she’s still practicing her leash manners; being small makes her easy to redirect. Tilly is sensitive to loud voices, so a calm environment is best. One of her quirky habits is her role as the neighborhood watch, always ready to report doorbells or delivery drivers. If you're looking for a devoted companion who loves short walks and snuggles, Tilly could be your perfect match. Ready to welcome this sweet girl into your home? Apply today!
