04/29/26 13:33From the foster home: Matilda is a happy, loving pup who gets along well with her four foster siblings. She has the cutest habit of herding me by nudging the back of my legs when I first get home and take the dogs out to pee. Sheâs been 100% on using the pee pads and weâre working on getting her comfortable using the dog door to go outside. She sleeps through the night in her dog bed next to my bed. I think she would happily sleep in my bed if it wasnât full of the other pups. She doesnât bark much. Just a few excited yaps when I first get home and maybe one or two when I start making dinner for myself. I think this is just to remind me that she would like to have a taste. She doesnât beg once I start eating. She walks very calmly on the leash and doesnât mind having her ears cleaned or nails trimmed. She doesnât have any pain from her wonky leg.Female chihuahua with dental disease and large mammary mass.

Sheâs calm, gentle, and loves affection. She can be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she melts right into cuddles and happily soaks up all the love.Sheâs pee pad trained/housebroken and enjoys short sniffy walks, but doesnât need a ton of exercise. At night, her favorite routine is being tucked into her cozy bed, where she settles in like the little princess she is. ???Matilda coexists nicely with the other dogs in her foster home. Being a small pup, she would do best in a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and adored.If youâre looking for a sweet little companion with a soft soul, adorable freckles, and a very cute underbite, Matilda might be your perfect match. ????
