Available for adoption now. Matilda was at the shelter for a long time her people never came and she was overlooked by everyone. She ended up in what's referred to as Kennel 66 meaning her time at the shelter was limited.
I wasn't at the shelter to rescue any dogs my sister was there to rescue a tortoise and I went to look at the kennels for a tiny black Chihuahua I had seen on facebook who was also in kennel 66. He had been saved. There were two plain tan male senior Chihuahuas who looked defeated and thank goodness my sister rescued them one was very sick with Kennel Cough. Then I looked over at Matilda who was just quietly begging for someone anyone to look at her. She was so dainty and her eyes looked so sad.
I kept think about her and decided we had to do something. So here she is out of puppy jail and recovering from Kennel Cough. She had a tumor on a mammary gland which was removed and biopsied thank DOG it was benign and she is healthy.
We're getting to know her right noiw. She was scared, to be expected and needed time to decompress. She's doing really good in her foster home. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and loves people.
She's okay on a leash, but clearly was not walked often. She could use a pound she's extremely thin. But she is a trooper she such a lovebug!
