Matilda - Shepherd / Mixed Dog For Adoption Matilda - Mutt Female Dog For Adoption in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed.

My name is Matilda, and I am a year-old, mix-breed girl looking for a special pack to call my own. My name means ‘mighty in battle’ because I’ve been through some hardships, but I’ve emerged with my optimism and joyful personality intact. I am a loyal, curious, and very playful girl. But I didn’t get the socialization and care I needed during my first year of life, so I need humans who are willing to work with me and help me continue to gain the confidence I need to be the amazing pup I was destined to be. I am crate trained and potty trained, and I am getting really good at walking on a leash. I LOVE to play with other dogs, but I can be a bit overwhelming for some dogs because I am still learning to read social cues. I listen really well, and I take corrections from humans and other dogs without issue. I just want to get along with everyone. I am learning basic commands, and I’m smart and motivated by food, toys and snuggles. I am a high-energy girl, so I’d do best with active humans or another playful pup. I would really benefit from having a confident canine companion because I do take cues from other dogs really well. The other foster pups have helped me overcome a lot of fear, and I’d love to live with other pups. I live with cats, and I mostly ignore them. I have only been around kids 10 and older, so I’m not sure how I’d do with small children. Sometimes I get so afraid, I lay on my back and freeze. But usually if my human just gives me a few pets and reassurance, I will jump up and do what is asked of me. I am an incredibly sweet girl who deserves humans who are committed to continuing my training and taking me on adventures so I can keep learning and growing. I am so full of love and playful energy, I will enrich the lives of everyone lucky enough to meet me! Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
