Mathilda (Matti)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 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. 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

What life with Mathilda (Matti) looks like

Mathilda (Matti) is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mathilda (Matti), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mathilda (Matti)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mathilda (Matti) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mathilda (Matti) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mathilda (Matti) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mathilda (Matti) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mathilda (Matti) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
