About Matilda
Introducing little Matilda, an adorable Dachshund mix with possibly a hint of Chihuahua in her genes. This delightful girl, born on January 22, 2021, is looking for a special someone to share her heart with. She weighs in at just 5.2kg, making her a petite bundle of love, perfect for cuddling and cozy companionship.
Matilda would truly shine in a calm, quiet home, ideally with an older retired couple or individual who can offer her plenty of company and affection. She's a bit timid and may take some time to warm up to new faces, but once she does, her sweet and loving nature emerges, creating a bond that is deeply rewarding. Her loyalty defies her small size; in no time at all, she will become a cherished part of her new family.
While Matilda tends to be more reserved upon first meeting, she exhibits a friendly and gentle demeanor with people. She gets along wonderfully with other small dogs and would be thrilled to have a fellow canine companion in her new home, especially because she adores her kennel mate Dotty. Matilda hasnt shown interest in cats too, though a cat as laid-back as she is would likely suit her best.
When it comes to walks, Matilda enjoys short strolls on the lead but often prefers lounging in the sun. Her simple pleasure includes feeling the warmth on her face as she rests amid companionship and gentle pats.
This timid yet loving dog is ready to find her new home—a haven filled with tranquility, patience, and love. Matilda might just be the perfect little furry friend for someone with a gentle heart and a welcoming lap!

Adoption details
Our adoption process is easy. You will receive a application for the animals you are interested in. Please full that in and send it back to us.
Even though you may be first to message, this does not always guarantee you will be chosen to adopt. By no means do we run on a "first in, first served basis". We aim to ensure that our animals are adopted into the most suitable home for them and the new family.
With all our animals, we go on what our vet has told us and what we believe the breed and age to be. We never guarantee the breed or age but take the best educated guess.
Please note: Our shelter is located in the Snowy Mountains. We are a 5 hour drive from Sydney and Melbourne and 2 to 3 hours from Canberra.
