ABOUT MATILDA:
Matilda is an affectionate ten-week old red-nose pit bull puppy who was rescued from a high-kill animal shelter. She is a playful, happy girl. When not busy squeaking on squeaky toys or chasing balls, Matilda lies on her back awaiting belly rubs and looks for new adventures. She enjoys playing with the two big dogs in her foster home, and, after desperately trying to catch up with them (they are so much bigger than her!), she enjoys sleeping curled up beside them, snoring quietly. In her foster home, Matilda is learning to be gentle and relaxed with cats. Matilda relishes human company, especially cuddling. She has had extensive exposure to infants and children.
Matilda is a canine genius who has already learned “sit,” “stay,” “shake,” and “leave it.” She is having good success with crate training (housebreaking) and is also learning how to walk nicely on a leash. She is very motivated by food and praise, and thus is easy to train. Matilda is an enthusiastic, curious puppy who is looking for a home that will help her become the best dog she can be through love, exercise and stimulation, and appropriate training. She will be a loyal companion who will bring you much laughter and love.

Rescue Group Info...
United Hope for Animals is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to creating a world where our relationship with animals is guided by compassion and responsibility. We actively work toward bringing an end to the needless suffering of companion animals through community-based programs here at home and across the border.
The statistics are sobering: Together, one unspayed female dog, her unaltered mate and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in six years. Even with its prevalent spay/neuter programs, the United States euthanizes more than 6 million dogs and cats each year. Through our Shelter Support Program, we work in partnership with local shelters to reduce this number by raising public awareness about the overpopulation crisis faced by shelters, facilitating rescue and adoption of sheltered animals, and, in the process, bringing identity and dignity to the many lives that would otherwise pass anonymously through an overburdened animal control system.
Across the border, we sponsor a regular Spay/Neuter clinic to provide spay/neuter services to families who could not otherwise afford them, and through our Pererra program work to provide a humane and gentle passing to pets who have no other options.
Please contact the Volunteer Adoption Coordinator listed in the ad for more information. (Please note that you are calling a volunteer, not a facility.)
For pets that are part of our Shelter Support Program at either the Baldwin Park or Downey shelters, you may also contact or visit the shelter directly. For more information on our Shelter Support Program, visit http://www.unitedhope4animals.org/about-us/shelter-support-program/.
The adoption process for UHA foster pets requires an application, phone interview, and home check.
