Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Hi. I'm MATILDA. I'm a one-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who's looking for a kind and gentle person who will allow me to feel loved and protected. I've been a bit overwhelmed here at the shelter, so it has taken me some time to warm up to new people. Once I trust someone, I like to lean in close for reassurance. I'll need to have a quiet, adult home in order to blossom, but once I settle in, I'll be an absolutely devoted companion. I get along well with other dogs, and everyone tells me that I'm as cute as they come. I've been quiet here at the shelter, so I'd probably be a good choice for an apartment. I've already been house trained, and I enjoy going on easy walks with the volunteers. Won't you please come visit me and give me a chance to show you what a good girl I am? I'm waiting for you here at the El Cajon Animal Shelter. Please find my kennel, then ask the office staff if we can go out to the play yard together to get acquainted. I sure hope you'll come see me very soon! Love, Matilda"
