Matilda

Mixed Breed · Female

Matilda Rasse: Chihuahua Mix Farbe: schwarz-braun Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: unknown Kastriert: no Matilda came to us as a found animal, unfortunately she was not chipped and nobody has reported for her. At first she is insecure with strangers and in new situations. But once she has gained trust she is friendly and also affectionate. She still needs to learn some things. Also she came to us severely overweight and still needs to lose weight. She wants a home where she can have stability and security. Small children should not live in her new home.

Matilda Rasse: Chihuahua Mix Farbe: schwarz-braun Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: unbekannt Kastriert: nein Matilda kam als Fundtier zu uns, leider war sie nicht gechipt und es hat sich auch niemand für sie gemeldet. Zu Anfang ist sie bei fremden Person und in neuen Situationen unsicher. Wenn sie aber einmal vertrauen gefasst hat ist sie freundlich und auch verschmust. Sie muss noch einiges lernen. Außerdem kam sie stark übergewichtig zu uns und muss noch weiter abnehmen. Sie wünscht sich ein Zuhause, wo man ihr stabilität und sicherheit gibt. Kleine Kinder sollten in ihrem neuen Zuhause nicht leben.

About Matilda

What life with Matilda looks like

Matilda is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Matilda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Matilda?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Matilda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Matilda if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. 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 Matilda 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 Matilda 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 Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matilda 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.
