Mathilda (Matti)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Hello, I'm Mathilda, or simply short Matti. If you're looking for an uncomplicated, just nice companion, I'm the perfect female dog for you. Although I'm a bit older, I'm still very fit and ready for any adventure with my person. I look forward to long walks, a warm dog bed, and lots of attention and cuddles. I don't have much to ask for my new home. Whether a single person, a family, or even an older couple, I can adapt to anywhere. I get along well with people, both children and adults, and I'm also very uncomplicated in my interactions with other dogs. The most important thing for me is the attention of my people. I sometimes demand this attention in a charming way and can easily beg for food or cuddles. If you don't fall for this little trick, I'll stop soon enough. Additionally, I master all the important signals and walk very calmly on the leash. At the animal shelter, I landed together with my sister Hermine. Of course, it would be the most beautiful thing if we could also move out together again. But that's not a must. You see, I'm a nice older dog lady who can still have a lot of fun. Shall we meet soon? I look forward to you!

Hallo, ich bin Mathilda, oder einfach kurz Matti. Wenn du eine unkomplizierte, einfach nur nette Begleiterin suchst, bin ich genau die richtige Hündin für dich. Ich bin zwar schon etwas älter, aber noch sehr fit auf den Beinen und für jede Unternehmung mit meinem Menschen zu haben. Ich freue mich über lange Spaziergänge, ein warmes Körbchen sowie viel Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten. Mehr Ansprüche an mein neues Zuhause habe ich gar nicht. Ob Einzelperson, Familie oder auch ein älteres Paar, ich kann mich überall einleben. Menschen finde ich super, Kinder wie Erwachsene, und auch im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden bin ich sehr unkompliziert. Das wichtigste für mich ist die Aufmerksamkeit meiner Menschen. Die fordere ich mitunter auch sehr charmant ein und kann gut um Futter oder Streicheleinheiten betteln. Gehst du auf diese winzige Unart nicht ein, höre ich damit aber auch schnell wieder auf. Außerdem beherrsche ich alle wichtigen Signale und laufe super entspannt an der Leine. Im Tierheim bin ich gemeinsam mit meiner Schwester Hermine gelandet. Am schönsten wäre es natürlich, wenn wir auch zusammen wieder ausziehen könnten. Das ist aber kein Muss. Du siehst, ich bin eine nette ältere Hundedame, die noch viel Spaß machen kann. Lernen wir uns bald kennen? Ich freue mich auf dich! Eure Matti
