About Tilly
I'm Matilda, Tilly for short and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• To be allowed inside with my family, I have never been allowed inside before however I am hoping that my new family will allow me inside to make me feel included & part of the family.
• NO CATS, I have previously lived with a cat however would like to chase them
• Being an active breed I have a lot of energy so an active family is a must! I am a little on the chonky side and would benefit from losing some weight.
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• I need to be the only dog at home, I get jealous and will pick fights. I am ok to socialize and be around other dogs when out & about on a walk, at the beach etc. and am good at doggy daycare & boarding however I am not interested in interacting with them.
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Other dogs
• Small children as they may scare me
My best features:
• LOVE people
• I can sit, stay & wait
• Food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• I love rides in the car & looking out the window
• I LOVE the water and will splash about in my water bowl, play with the hose and swim in the basin/river
• I love toys especially my ball, playing fetch and tug rope
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• My previous home had birds in a cage that I was fine with
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered girl
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I generally walk well on the lead however will pull if I want to get to something, it is recommended that I get walked in a harness/halti
• I am scared of thunder & fireworks and will bark & whine. I will require a safe space to retreat to during these events as well as comfort and reassurance from my family.
• As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained yet.
• I am quiet shy and nervous in the shelter environment, I may be shy at first with new people and in new environments so will require a family who will take their time allowing me to settle in and continue on with my socialization
