Adopt Matilda

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Matilda is a large senior female who walked into the shelter herself after deciding she'd had enough of street life. She previously had a loving family but prefers not to dwell on that sad past. Despite being older with a slightly blurry left eye that doesn't bother her, she's in good condition. She's not aggressive with other dogs but isn't recommended with other animals due to her size and strength. Matilda is loving and affectionate, wanting nothing more than to cuddle with her special person in peace and quiet. She's looking for someone to share her golden years with.

MatildaBASIC CARENEUTERINGBLOOD TESTSMEDICAL COSTS ​I have no known medical issues but I need blood tests to make sure there are no underlying issues​Ask moreBig and cuddlyHi, I am MatildaMy sponsor is Barbara Thiemann&​I am a big girl with a strong mind and that shows in how I came to the shelter. One day I just decided that I had had enough of the street life and walked up to this shelter I had heard of. So I waited before the gates as they opened the shelter doors and just walked in and decided to stay. I haven't always lived on the streets, I was once owned and knew the love of a family. But that is in the history I and I don't like to be remembering that time, it just makes me too sad. I am already a bit older and but in good condition. Only my left eye is a bit blurry, but it doesn’t affect me at all, just a thing I have learned to lie with. I am not aggressive towards other dogs, but because of my big size I am not recommended in a house with other animals. I am strong, big but so loving and I hate that my love goes to waste at the shelter. I just want to be with you and cuddle. And I want to enjoy each day in peace and quiet with my special person.
