My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dog Name: Matilda Jean



Breed: Mixed breed



Sex: Female



Age: 12 years



Weight: 7 lbs



Medical Needs: Blind & mostly deaf



Daily eye drops for chronic dry eye. She has no teeth, so she has to eat wet food and her tongue is always hanging out.



Housebroken: Does good on a schedule and will bark when she wants to go out, but also barks when she wants attention, so we go out a lot more than we need to.



Will also use puppy pads if confined to a small area like a pen, otherwise she can't always find them.



Crate trained: Yes



Good in the car: Yes



Good on a leash: No. She's old and fragile. Being carried to her destina6is her preference.



Energy level: Low



Need a fenced in yard: No



Dog Friendly: Yes



If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No



Cat Friendly? Unknown, but honestly a cat is more dangerous to her than she would be to it.



Kid Friendly: Unknown



Much like cats, the bigger concern is their potential danger to her.



If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with?



Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?



Matilda Jean (Matty for short) is just an old lady looking for a warm comfy spot and a loving family to spend her golden years with.



She loves being loved and when she's ready to be held she will bark until she gets your attention . She's also happy to accept any extra lovings you wish to bestow upon her. This girl just wants to be a lap dog, and after all she's been through, she deserves it now more than ever.



Fosters Location: Dover
