Here's what the humans have to say about me:
You may meet and apply to adopt Matilda at our ADOPTION EVENT on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in NEWPORT BEACH. adoptpetmatch@gmail.com
MATILDA NEEDS A FOSTER FOR A SHORT TIME UNTIL ADOPTED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOSTERING MATILDA, PLEASE EMAIL adoptpetmatch@gmail.com
Matilda is a young medium sized female dog - only 1 year of age. Her breed is a bit of a mystery, however, our guess is Pointer mixed with Beagle and/or Dalmatian. Matilda weighs in a 28 pounds and should fill out somewhat with proper care and nutrition. Her ideal weight is probably somewhere around 35 pounds. Matilda was brought in stray to the shelter where she stayed for a while before space ran out and she was placed on the euthanasia list. Since her rescue, we have found Matilda to be a very smart dog, highly trainable and eager to please people. She is housebroken and she is good with children. She has obviously had no attention or much care up until this point and is somewhat desperate for affection. We suspect she was banished to a backyard where she spent her time alone 24 hours a day. She is just now learning how to play with toys and with other dogs. Matilda is happiest right by your side and most definitely wants to be your devoted, loyal friend. She will look at you with utter adoration when you talk to her and stroke her head. Her confusion disappears readily with a simple pat on the head or a belly rub. Matilda will flourish in a stable, consistent environment where she can follow simple routine. She is looking for direction and for a person to take the lead and show her what a normal life is. Once Matilda realizes she is being included in the family, she gratefully flops down on the floor beside you and heaves a big sigh of relief. All Matilda wants for Christmas is a little affection. She will return the favor and blossom into a loyal, trusty buddy.
Matilda's adoption donation is $350 (TAX DEDUCTABLE). She has been SPAYED, MICROCHIPPED, VACCINATED, DEWORMED, and DEFLEAED. Also included is her collar with ID, harness, leash, folder with all of her records, a great PETCO coupon book, and a fun goodie bag with toys, etc.
You may meet and apply to adopt Matilda at our ADOPTION EVENT on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in NEWPORT BEACH located at 1280 Bison Ave., Newport Beach, CA 92660. adoptpetmatch@gmail.com
