About Matilda

Matilda is a spirited one-year-old mix-breed girl on the lookout for a loving home. Her name means 'mighty in battle,' and it's fitting given her journey. She’s retained her joyful personality despite some early challenges. Loyal, curious, and playful, Matilda thrives with active humans and would greatly benefit from a confident canine companion who can guide her as she builds confidence. Though she's crate trained and potty trained, she needs extra socialization and patience from her new family. Matilda loves engaging with other dogs, learning the ropes of doggy etiquette, and is eager to please when given direction. While she does well with cats, her experience with kids is limited to those aged ten and up. This high-energy pup is smart and motivated by fun, food, and cuddles, making her an ideal candidate for a playful home. Matilda can occasionally freeze when scared but responds well to gentle reassurances from her humans. With the right support, she will blossom into a remarkable companion. Matilda is spayed, house trained, and ready for new adventures—and all she needs is a chance to shine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
